Thanks for the notes. Lots of stuff to read and I am chugging along .. In the meantime, my intention is simple, use SC as the universal bridge to various brokers so I don't need to roll my own. This is for both directions, i.e., getting realtime/historical data, as well as sending orders to the brokers/receiving trade confirmation or cancellation messages. I will maintain the overall system states, and of course trading logic in Matlab/Python. So my questions are: 1. one instance of SC will connect to a single broker at any given time? So if I want to trade say HSI via IB and ES via CQG, I will need to have two SC running? 2. in terms of DTC, how many clients can one SC instance (as a server) support? 3. I read a while back some discussions of option trading. Can SC support complex option combo orders like a 4-leg spread, (e.g. buy AAPL 150 call, sell AAPL 160 call, sell AAPL 140 put and buy AAPL 130 put, as an 'atomic' transaction? FYI, this is doable in IB API. 4. I've read some users have done works in getting data from SC with Python, any published packages (fee or otherwise)? Thanks. |
