Hi Ram, You might want to look at the sample code for a gui-based trading interface at the following web page. I haven't tried it yet. I would first like to see how far I can get using BookTrader that comes with TWS.

You can also configure automatic bracket orders, but I am not sure if the order settings can be setup for different security types (i.e. use +/- 0.03% for forex, use +/- 3% for stocks.)

Can I build the GUI in VB/C# and call it as a COM component from AmiBroker (not the other way) and the button events triggering AmiBroker formulae and all such things? > > I am sure I am not the first person who likes to do this.
