Really excellent information Jules - thank you for taking time out to explain! I does look a bit involved - but if thats what it takes, I will go that route. Only one last question to Tomasz before diving in - would you suggest an alternative approach? - or do you have additional hints in

Tx, but nothing in TWSAPI forum about how to call IB Broker interface directly from a C++ Amibroker plugin. Also, not possible to call user defined functions (in afl) from C++ Amibroker plugin using gSite.CallFunction() - so I'm stuck... Anybody? Best regards Jens Tiedemann --- In
