I am using Excel with XLQ plugin for extracting daily data from yahoo and intraday from IB.
I was wondering whether there is any magician who is able to program a way how to automatically send orders from Excel to TWS.
Thanks and successful trading.

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Did you resolve your problem? I'm sending Excel to send orders to IB via TwsLink2 (api and function). I'm not an expert at all, but I did succeed to send orders
Now, I'm looking for a way to receive a confirmation that an order as been executed.
Good luck

This code send a long stop order with a time ( after and before) validation ( order cancel after a given time by IB).
Attached to hit, a stop order is send. It will be activated if the stop entry is activated. It will be cancelled at the same time if the initial order is not triggered within the proper allowed time
Thanks a lot! I think the bug is in my head (or hands ). I will try again as soon as the manual order entry frustrates me again...
Thanks for the link to the forum.

Hi,
The templates that come with IB API options are a great starting point. You can achieve all in your wishlist and more with them. As an advisor, i cannot use Ninja anymore as they dont support Multiple accounts. So i had to build my own and I used the ActiveX technology to do it.
All the best!
Here is another interesting Excel spreadsheet, based on IB ActiveX API and serves as a template for implementing your trading rules for Interactive Brokers. Also lets you trade manually, I like their bracket orders feature.
Take a look, I've been using it recently and pretty happy with it:
