Subversion Source Access

I have finally set up a publicly accessible subversion server, and have reorganized my Interactive Brokers Api folders to suit a single repository. Check out the new page for instructions on how to access it.

This will also make it easier for users to generate patches against the Api, and if anyone is interested in becoming a contributor, I am certainly open to it. Drop me a line.

VS 2005 Support

 VS2005

I just downloaded the latest VS2010 Beta 1 to play with, and am contemplating making breaking changes to the library that use C# 3.5 features. How important is VS 2005 support to people? Is everyone running VS2008 or later? Or do I need to maintain the 2005/C# 2.0 backwards compatibility?

Let me know in the comments, I will be steadily making changes here.

Website Updates

I just upgraded to Wordpress 2.7 and bbPress 1.0 RC1 and am soliciting any problems people notice. I am also looking for a good wordpress subversion module so that I can share my subversion repository. Any recomendations are welcome.

Also, I’m thinking about a new theme if any solid theme developers are out there, drop me a line.

Black Box Development

In late 2008/early 2009 I made the transition from full time engineering to full time Black Box trading software and strategy development. The past several months have certainly been exciting times in the financial markets, and proven to be very good for automated strategies.

I will still be maintaining the IbAPI open source library (just saw IB posted a 9.62 beta), and if anything will be more responsive now.

I am also always interested in discussing interesting opportunities, so please continue to drop me a line at email hidden; JavaScript is required

Good Trading!

9.6.0.11 Release

I updated the API to incorporate the new features of the 9.6 API from IB. Primarily this is the call backs for various list functions.

I also made a large update to the event handler framework to make the calls thread safe now.

Please download it directly here or from the utilities page here.
