hi, I do not have time today and what I have written in AFL is specific for my system but I can tell what I do. The trades of the previous day I receive in the daily statement of IB. I copy and paste these trades into a text file.
Then you can read this textfile into Amibroker but you will have to do some programming. The "trick" I use is for the software to recognize if the line it reads is a long entry or a short exit etc. is to save information for each symbol in static variables. For instance the IB data may look like: ABX 2007-05-09, 11:00:00 ISLAND -56 31.2800 1,751.68 -1.00 0.00 P ABX 2007-05-09, 11:00:00 NYSE -100 31.2800 3,128.00 -0.28 0.00 P ABX 2007-05-09, 11:00:00 IDEAL -100 31.2800 3,128.00 0.00 0.00 P ABX 2007-05-11, 11:01:18 NYSE 156 30.1000 -4,695.60 -1.00 0.00 P ABX 2007-05-11, 11:01:18 NYSE 100 30.1000 -3,010.00 -0.28 0.00 P save all relevant information in static variables and check for a sign() change of the number of shares. If it finds the positions is closed then the static variables are removed and the relavant information is stored in Composites at the appropriate date. Now it is easy to copy and paste info from IB every day and keep trach of your trades and all kind of statistics you lie to examine. Maybe tomorrow I can poste some code. rgds, Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: christos_mav To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 12:19 AM Subject: [amibroker] Trade Log for Amibroker and IB Hi. I want to ask if somebody has a trade log for his account on IB. I want only to see my real trades that i have done at my IB acount in a n Excel-File. When i buy , how much , Price comissions ( all this in one line). The problem is that the Statement of IB is realy bad. You couls export for example your dayly statement but they give you so much infos that you realy dont need. For me its only important to see very fast ma mistake. There are some softeware what you could buy ( see IB homepage ) . But ok .. only for a trade log --they are to expensive. Therefore i ask if somebody know something else. This would be also a good thing to implement in AB. To press only one button in AB and import for example your dayly trades from IB to AB . regards Chris
