Honestly, i never tested combo orders and also i am not familar with combo orders. For details of TWSLink functions, use the help file please file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/trade-commander/twslink2/Documentation/html/tbl_orderval.html From what i see in the code, a combo order is created in mult...

Hello,
never did this before.

The general approach is: Pick the contract in TWS. Right click on contract, get information / description or details.
Use the information provided there for the register contract functions.

The average price is a portfolio value.

(open help file from browser:)
GET_PORFOLIO_VAL(uidcontract,5,"")

WAIT_FOR_FILLED should be good for this. It breaks when an order been rejected. It returns 1, when filled. 0 when timeout. -2 when order rejected or cancelled, -1 when initial or inactive (can't reach filled state). Are you sure you get a timeout when you place a reverse order which violates margin ?

The time will be proper etc. It just sets the thread to idle. The script pauses script execution the denoted time at this point. Thats all. I have no TradeStation and also do not use MultiCharts this time so i can't make a definite statements how WAITDLL exactly affects your script. But i guess, whe...

The calling thread is suspended, goes into idle state.
So the calling script stops. If another script runs in the same thread, this stops as well.

Hello TWSLink users, just want to point to a new tool which is coming soon. It is called IBPlugin and it has already its own forum. It is a more reduced but advanced version of TWSLink. It focuses on MetaTrader. For more information just read the 1st post in its forum: https://trade-commander.com/tc...

IBPlugin is further development of TWSLink. It is focused for the useage with MetaTrader. However, as it is a DLL, you can use it everywhere on Windows which supports DLL, e.g. Trade Station, Excel or C++ applications or make wrapper for Perl, Python etc. In comparison to TWSLink it has a reduced in...

You find the settings file in the x86 programs folder on x64 machines or in the programs folder on x86 machines: C:\Program Files (x86)\trade-commander\twslink2\xml\twslink.xml Open the xml in an editor and search the line below and set the loglevel 4 behind the "v". <dllll ttl="DLL Loglevel" v="4" ...

Thank you for update. Just for clarification. A WAITDLL call puts a thread into an idle state. It locks the calling thread for this time. It is the opposite of what could "overheat" an CPU. A high loglevel can raise CPU load. In particular loglevel 0. Because this means full logging and also it prod...

WAITDLL makes a stop of the calling thread for the specified time. The thread is going into idle state. No CPU load. It can cause a TradeStation lock (freeze) for the time of sleep, presumed it is called in all threads, but for sure not a machine lock. WAITDLL does nothing else than calling a Window...

Just made a test. Calling 100 times GET_ACC_VAL took 78 milliseconds on my virtual machine (6 cores, 16 GB) . There is absolutely no bottleneck and no need to call a wait function between function calls. You can check this also when loading the script "account- and portfolio data" in the batchtester...

Sorry, i can't believe TWSLink causes corrupted harddrives. Please find another cause for this and allow me a comment: Running a trading machine on a laptop is a bit careless. Generally TWSLink spreads work into threads. Having multiple cores is an advantage, memory as well. If you have a millisecon...

TWSLink works on both. On a 64 bit machine, you get both versions installed. So processes can - depending on platform -
pick the right version: from system32 -> 64 bit version, from syswow64 -> 32 bit version.

If you say reversals, so you like to turn a position in one step, you may split this into 2 steps: One close, one open.
But perhaps i have no exact picture of the problem.

If you say "IB hasn't reported back available cash". Normally this should happen very quickly after each execution.

The problem is that i am not able to test this, because i have no cash accounts and also the public demo is always a margin account. With a cash account, isnt it much easier to make all calculations on your own before placing an oder? But, if short trades get rejected even you have the balance to do...

Just let me mention this: It is not tested on Linux/MacOS/Wine.
So i am sorry, can't provide support her.

The error below looks like TWSLink is somehow still in use

The exchange rates are part of account information when you have cash positions in non base currencies. So you get only exchange rates among currencies which are listed in your account . Also, in order receive exchange rates at all, you need full account value subscriptions. So not off and not summa...

There is in fact a problem. Please let me know, if you get values now.

TWSLink logs. Should be located in
