non-linear, perhaps my questioning for something that may sound totally obvious to you or for that matter totally useless is undoubtedly irritating. May be I am missing something and I will honestly appreciate it if you told me what is it that I am doing wrong since I am only learning about the platform and the IB API environment.
How am I to manage let's say two trades that will automatically cancel each other if executed on a live contract. (let's sat stop sell order ECZ10) followed by a stop buy order ECZ10 yet for some reason wanted to keep separate. if the orders are on the same account, they are are on the same order queue (the same account, port and user id). so I will have to use your methods in traderAssistant and call my buy and sell routines with account-# included. the mechanics of this are not clear to me but according to you I should technically launch another copy of the JBT and connect to that instance before placing an order. I know that traderAssistant provides various methods for connecting to IB server and account-maintenance... I am open to your suggestions and am not fixated on something but I have some practical consideration. I have managed to consolidate my entire strategy in one symbol but I will need to keep their executions separate although they will be handled from the same code and data-structure from the main strategy.
