Module 2: Live Trading With Interactive Brokers

Amibroker doesn’t provide any code or program for automatic trading. We have made a simple script/code that does the following:
1. The code scans your trading strategies and sends a market order (can be changed to limit order) if there is a signal.
2. If there is a signal, it keeps track of the sent order (position) until there is a sell signal for the strategy.
 
It’s not advanced, but we use it ourselves daily.
