[Questrade Trailing Stops]

QT have been silent on this. Have you heard from them on anything at allo ver the past few months?

I'm going to start the process of moving everything to IB, they seem to care a little.

[Questrade vs IB for API]

Yes, I learned this by mistake, thanks for confirming. Inside a registered plan (LIRA, RRSP) - there's no tax paid on capital or dividens on US stocks, so not many reasons to stay away from the US market for a registered plan other than any other regs. So I'll trade the US market.

Are there any issues/quirks I should look out for with the IB API?

 

 

[Questrade vs IB for API]

I have accounts with both Questrade and Interactive Brokers. I'm looking for thoughts, or more of a confirmnation, that the IB API works better with Medved and is also better supported than the Questrade API.

Questrade issues - On Medved, I enter a GTC stop order for a US market stock, and the next day when I check the stock, the order does not show up - but it does show up in the Questrade software. The Questrade trailing stop order are also not working correctly in the API (they do work in the Questrade software) - already discussed on this forum. It seems I also need to refresh the account often to get correct values - this scared the hell out of me since mistakes will cost me large $$.

So, any comments? I am seriously considering moving my funds to IB just based on the quality of the API to Medved Trader. How stable and accurate and reliable is the IB API to Medved?

Hi Mike;

Thanks for this new variable. Being available in simple mode is super too.

I can code in some languages but C# isn't my thing. (I can do AFL and MT4 no problem)

In the code I want to determine the chart frequency that the indicator is loaded on, so I can change the period of the SMA in the code. This is for paintbars and scans.

I just don;t know how to get that variable. I think I need to study up on C# basics.

[Questrade Trailing Stops]

I sent them a message from my account. They typically respond to me in an acceptable time.

What other Questrade bugs are there that I should be aware of while trading?
 

[Questrade Trailing Stops]

I entered a trailing stop $ (STP) for an open position (UBER) and sent the order. On the Medved chart, the trailing stop moves UP and DOWN with price. On the questrade chart (IQ edge, the Questrade charting app) the trailing stop only move UP. 

Am I missing something? My understanding is the Questarde chart is behaving correctly.
