CyberTrader/Charles Schwab integration

[jimcole23]

My accounts are at Schwab, and I use Schwab's StreetSmart Pro software for trading. It is "Powered by CyberTrader". I would like to integrate eSignal with Schwab, so that my custom software that uses the eSignal Desktop API can initiate trades via eSignal. But the only download I can find related to CyberTrader seems to require using eSignal 7.4. Is there some other way to integrate eSignal and Schwab?

Join me in a prayer, esignal says it is CyberTrader issue, and CyberTrader claim it is esignal issue.

Hello jimcole23,

Schwab is not currently one of our integrated brokers. Integrating directly between eSignal 7.4 and CyberTrader accounts does work however.

Sami, what is the specific problem you are having?

Thank you for your reply.
My issue is I need to use esignal 7.9 with Cybertrader and not 7.4.
Possible?
Thanks
Sami

Hello Sami,

Not yet. There are plans to upgrade the plug-in to be compatible with a newer version of eSignal, which is probably 7.8. I don't have any information on the current status of this project, but I will make an announcement here in the forums once it has been completed.

Going back from 7.9 to any earlier version would be a huge setback for those of us using the Desktop API. They've fixed a number of bugs in 7.9 that were causing frequent crashes when using the API. Why would eSignal target a previous build for this work?

Short answer: we wouldn't. We always want our partners using our latest version.

Whenever you offer integrated services, you need complete cooperation from both parties to be successful. We are marching down that path best we can; as it's clearly in our (and our user's) interest to be compatible. Hopefully, we'll collaboratively resolve the issue in short order and we'll be OK on 7.9.

Thanks.

Any progress on Schwab (CyberTrader) integration?

I guess not...

Why is ESignal not getting this problem solved? Schwab is one of the largest brokers? Other software vendors can make this happen. Why not ESignal. This is a real problem for many of us.
