Thx.

I want to use one instance of SC for automatic trading via API with IB, what I found is the following:

1. I can send an order to TWS via chart trading feature but the symbol I buy/sell does appear for a split second on the TWS and then disappears.
When I enter it manually it will show the current position I bought/sold. How can I set SC+TWS up so that TWS automatically shows the symbol.

2. Currently I have 4 different charts with different symbols open, all running with the same spreadsheet system. On the spreadsheet there are
several sheets and this sheets seems to be assigned to several charts (I can see that in column A1). Can I assume that it is possible to
have an "indefinite" # of system running in parallel & all working together with TWS (sending orders).

3. My orders generated from the systems seem not being executed in TWS, in Trade Log I see messages like "Buy Entry is ignored because long position
exists" even if there are no long positing existing.

4. Is it possible to trigger orders configured in TWS, e.g. Hot Key orders.

5. Are there any protection mechanisms available if SC crashes while positions in TWS are open.

Would be great if you could comment on this. Many thx.
