So today I completed my expiration roll over (better late than never!) and even traded a round trip. I have been ridiculously busy at work lately, which has kept me from getting to trading, but I will try to make time next week again.
Rolling over isn’t as bad as I though – in quote tracker you just add the symbols, and then drag and drop the new symbols onto the current chart, and wallah!

Button trader was a little more work as you had to add the symbols and recreate the containers. No big deal really. I just had to request a new password from these guys, their license scheme is a little annoying, but very reliable software!
Hello everyone – so I just got Windows Live Writer Beta 3 installed, and this is a test post. The ADX post, turned out to be the post from hell. I used word 2007’s great equation editor, which is darn near impossible to get to post to a blog. I had to save as a filtered web page, open the page in Web Expression, and copy the html to Word 2007 to do the post (Windows Live Writer crashed when I did this).
In any case, no additional indicators today, I have to run to work early. Hopefully this post works from Beta 3!
I just finished uploading a bug fix release to the 9.30 API code base – technically the bugs are in the 9.10 release as well, but I haven’t heard any problems lately, and since IB has moved to the 9.20 release as the stable version, I am not going to update the 9.10 code base (let me hear the outcry if you need otherwise).
You can download the new release here. Or go to the utilities page here for all releases.
The release notes for changes are below – enjoy!
9.3.0.5 Bug Fix Release
* Fixed Historical Data Requests (had improperly formatted parameter and timestamps)
* Fixed Disconnect call to properly kill the reader thread
* Added support for additional contracts (Forex, Futures, Indices)
* Began Order Classes, incomplete for now, but started a Limit Order class.
* Fixed Current Time call, it now returns a date time instead of a string.
9.3.0.4 Bug Fix Release
* Added Market On Open enumeration to Time in Force
No Trading again today. I have been very actively working on an Auto Trading System, and spent this morning refining my historical data. I realize I owe everyone an updated C# IBAPI release, as I have found numerous bugs.
I also hate the way IB’s historical data works, and have spent a lot of time working out the details on how it should be parsed. I think I have the time zone stuff worked out well, but I can’t decide what the best way to call historical data is.
No trades today, I am working on a software model to auto trade. I will keep my charts open the next several mornings and sock away anything I see and post. My desktop and main trading computer’s power supply is also on the fritz, so I spent this morning jury rigging a fan to my pc to keep it going. Keep on chugging!
