[R-SIG-Finance] IBrokers and automatic submission of orders?

[Jeff Ryan]

I just presented some slides about this at R/Rmetrics 2009 in
Meielisalp about 2 days ago.

This should give you a bit more information on the current development
of IBrokers, and how you can accomplish this all in R.

HTH,
Jeff
