[Interactive Brokers Routing Options for Limit orders]

I know little about routing but since my goal is to reduce commission where possible. I see PEARL has -0.0029 commission for adding liquidity. I do not know if this is worth doing. But I want to try...

 

How would I use this info? By adding PEARL in routing option?

[Would it be possible to have one window for MT?]

Currently I am testing with IB paper trading but sometimes I lose track of the MT windows. Then I need to hunt for the right window to take action. There are already so many windows open from other apps which makes this situation a bit difficult.

I was wondering if it is possible to have one main window for MT and then there are small windows inside like account tab and position tab. It would be nice to have one window for MT but options to open more windows if needed but can be configured to have different space and position for smaller windows inside the main window.

[Can one script call other script at the end?]

I would like to this script so that let us say I add 100 to my current position and I call 33% at 2% PT, it would recalculate all stops based on the added position.

thank you your help

I was able to put them in one script and it works with IB paper trading for long side but not for short with message Error: Invalid Quantity.

may be it has to do with qty... Would you please check?

 

cancel all and then 33 % AT 2% from PricePaid.Hotkey.txt

[Can someone please share their HotKey json that I can import?]

Please share any HotKey combination in json, it would be immensely helpful to me to learn this amazing platform.

I would like to create a hot key for current position

• cancel all pending orders
• exit 33% position at 2%, 67% position at 3%
• stop loss 33% at -1.25%, 67% at -1%

also is there a way to cancel all orders on flat position? - I am coming from Sierra Chart so some of my questions come from that

[Repository for scripts]

I have checked about first 5 pages of the user discussions but I did not see a place where scripts are shared. I saw a 10 page google doc for scripting. I studied FORTRAN looong time ago and my knowledge is rusty. Still I should have fairly good primitive knowledge about programming.

But having some samples would jumpstart my efforts in what I need.

[copy orders and Allocate trades]

How do I copy orders using scripting between two separate accounts?

Does MT supports allocation of the trade between accounts? I vaguely understand this concept though. Was checking another trader software and stumble on this concept.
