Post From: Stock Trading Plans ( Question for our Interactive Brokers Users)

In regards to improving the integration with Interactive Brokers, what we are looking at is using a common FIX connection to route orders for those users who are using Sierra Chart and have an account with Interactive Brokers. We are going to ask them about this possibility to see if it is technically possible. Reference:

Although as we look at the specifications for the FIX API from IB there is no position reporting. Therefore, position reporting would be based upon order fills but because this would be an always maintained connection we would have an accurate history of order fills to have Sierra Chart generate positions from. So we do not see this really as much of a problem. This is no different than the way positions are reported for LMAX.

And the type of connectivity we would maintain to Interactive Brokers would be "Cross-Connect". This is the same kind of connectivity we are currently working on to TT.

And we are making definite progress on obtaining stock data feeds covering the US and other exchanges and level 2 data, and be able to provide it with our service packages at a reasonable price. And we plan to be able to obtain data from European stock exchanges, and also extend our market statistics calculation to those exchanges. We don't want to reveal too much about our data feed plans, but with what we are planning and what we see that we can achieve in the coming months is going to be a major major breakthrough with our data feed offerings with coverage, quality of service, and cost.
