Re: 24/5 automated trading with IB
There's lots of stuff on the net about FIX but many brokers will restrict it' s use to larger clients, e.g. with extra fees or a requirement for your software to be certified as OK to connect to their systems. It is, however, definitely the way to go if you want to be broker independent.
