Hi,  
  
  
  
I am writing a C2ATI java client to pick up trading signals and forward them to IB TWS.  
  
  
  
Is there a free test system that generates signal currently I can use to test my software or do I need to subscribe to a real one ?

I don’t think you can receive signals without subscribing to a system.  
  
But you could subscribe to one with a free trial period or a free one.  
  
  
  
To find a free one, go to The Grid -\> press the “Select Columns” button -\> show “Subs Fee” and “Business Model”. Put “=0” in the Subs Fee column and select one with a “Periodic” Business Model.

I would be interested in learning more about your project. Would it be something my subscribers would find useful?
