How do I upload a CSV Basket file to BasketTrader?

The TWS BasketTrader tool allows you to import a CSV Basket file into the tool which will allow you to modify, transmit and manage the basket of orders. 

To upload a basket file:

  1. From within BasketTrader, click the Browse button
  2. In the file list, choose a file to upload
  3. Click Open to load the file.

If you are unsure of the formatting for your CSV file, it is recommended to first export a test file out of the BasketTrader:

  1. Enter a few test orders in BasketTrader
  2. In the File menu, click Save Basket As..
  3. Give your file a name and click Save.

You may now open that file using a spreadsheet application such as Excel.
