Eugene,
Thanks for the quick reply. I am fairly sure (99%) that I logged into my
live (not demo) account, but I'm not sure if I was connected to a simulated
one. Is there a way to see on the IB TWS GUI?
There are a few starter strategies, but not even the ones shown in the User
Guide. Are people publishing their own strategies somewhere? I need to do
a lot of reading before I write mine. :)
Just FYI, my goal is to use Clojure and Incanter (which is like the GNU R
stats package) for my strategy. I should be able to embed it directly
inline with the Java code. Is anyone else out there doing anything like
that?
Another question, what data feeds do people subscribe to? I know, dumb
question, ("the ones you need") but I'm curious to hear what people are
subscribed too.
