I have not used Java in about 8 years. I have never used Eclipse. No biggie though. I am an experienced C++ programmer and Java isn't that much different. I can figure it out.
I checked out those links, but that is not what I was looking for. That is my fault, as I realize now I did not really frame my question properly. What I meant was I'm looking for a list of functions/commands that would be used to receive information from and send information to the Interactive Brokers' TWS system. For example, JBookTrader has to have some sort of way to get the data from interactive brokers (what functions do this?). Then JBookTrader has to send commands to Interactive Brokers to actually make the trades (what functions do this?). Is there a list of functions that do this? if so, where? Let me give another example. Interactive Brokers' website explains how to execute trades in terms of "click this" then "enter XYZ number" then "click that" then click on "T" to execute the trade. Since JBookTrader is able to autonomously execute trades there has to be some way (I'm assuming functions in Java) that simulate the user's click this, etc. What are those functions? Where can I find them? Another thing I want to know is where is the list of functions that implement different types of trades. For example: Interactive Brokers has a list of different types of orders. Found here: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=4985 Where is the list of functions in JBookTrader that will implement these types of orders/trades? I'll give one more example. If I want to execute a stop-limit order (see here: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/?f=%2Fen%2Ftrading%2Forders%2FstopLimit.php) I need to know where to find the functions that will do this. Interactive Brokers provides what needs to be done in the GUI. E.g. 1. Click the bid price to execute a sell order. 2. select STP LMT from the type field. 3. Enter the limit price in the Lmt Price field. 4. Enter the stop trigger price in the stop price field. 5. Click T to transmit the order. So, they've provided me with some of the information I need, but what I don't know (and what I don't know where to find) is the list of functions in JBookTrader that I will use to simulate this and actually cause Interactive Brokers to execute a trade for me. I apologize if I'm not being clear. And thanks in advance for all your help. Chris.
