Hi,
Although I use NinjaTrader for placing orders, I do essentially the same thing. I have a simple VB app that invokes the API with the press of a button. On the AB side, what I do is at the very beginning of a new bar, I write the previous bar's relevant data (whatever you would use to calculate your entry, target and stop numbers) and read the file in the VB app. I posted the code to write the file from AB recently -- if you search for my name, it would be within the past four weeks (sooner, I believe).
