Trading imgui (via TWS Web Api)

Trading with IMGUI view. Contract search, risk-based orders, position order/management, stock charts.

I have a version with intraday scanners, and scanners utilizing @jfsrev's methods of ATR extension, plus a number of extra features and automated trading, leave a message if you need it. It won't be free though.

TWS Documentation: https://interactivebrokers.github.io/cpwebapi/quickstart

TWS Web Api: https://www.interactivebrokers.eu/campus/ibkr-api-page/cpapi-v1/#accounts

Windows/Directx11 requirement.

Setup & running

• Download java https://www.java.com/en/download/ and install it. java --version to see if it works

• Download https://download2.interactivebrokers.com/portal/clientportal.gw.zip and unzip it.

• Open a cmd prompt in the unzipped folder and run bin\run.bat root\conf.yaml

• Open https://localhost:5000 on a web browser, skip the ssl insecure notice. You should see a IBKR login screen, login. The message 'Client login succeeds' will be displayed if the login is successful.

• Build the MSVC project in proj/trading_imgui_tws_webapi.sln

• Run the program bin/trading_imgui_tws_webapi.exe. It will make webapi calls through this medium

• Optionally, can test with curl --url https://localhost:5000/v1/api/iserver/auth/status --request GET -k

Code guidelines & information

• This software uses a loop that runs infinitely. Within the loop, it processes all coroutinues process_coroutines() until they yield() or they terminate. This is useful for api calls where you have to wait, allowing you to pause execution and work on some other task.

• All coroutine/api calls to the TWS Web Api are located in im_api.cpp/h

• All immediate mode gui user code and custom state management is in trading_imgui.cpp/h. We also use implot to draw charts.

• Other single-file libraries are in naett for OS based https calls, and parson for json parsing. Coroutines uses minicoro.h for stackful coroutines.
