I've tried to setup Interactive Broker's C++ API in Visual Studio 2008, but I know very limited C++ and I keep getiing errors. :<
1) Is there any way to use some kind of light scripting language to connect to Interactive Brokers and make trade. F.E.
login.('username','password')
>>>'Connected'
makeTrade('GOOG','550')
>>>'Trade Completed'
Something light like Python would be just fine, and yes I have looked into IBPY, but I do not understand how the java2python system works.
2) How did you setup your automated system, or how would you set up your automated trading system with Interactive Brokers?
