Live trading via webcrawling the live algorithm webpage: a proposal.

Dear all:

For those who were frustrated from termination of live trading integration by Q, I came up with a simple idea. Since I'm not a programmer, I don't know for sure whether it works or not.

My idea is using a webcrawler to fetch the data from live algorithm webpage, and send the orders to interactive broker. As long as Q allow us to do so, I believe maybe it's not technically difficult. Although it definitely takes more time to generate orders and may cause slippage, but still better then none.

Anybody interested in this idea and would like to develop a project for this?
