connect Matlab to the api
copy twsevent.m to your current Matlab directory
>> tws = actxcontrol(‘TWS.TwsCtrl.1′,[0 0 0 0],f,’twsevent’);
>> tws.connect(”, 7496, 1);
test it!
use the newcontract.m script- copy it to the current directory

S = INVOKE(OBJ) returns structure array S containing a list of
all methods supported by the object or interface OBJ along
with the prototypes for these methods.
invoke(ib)
METHODSVIEW(OBJECT) displays the methods of OBJECT’s class along
with the properties of each method.

Here are the two extra files needed
newcontract.m
twsevent.m
UPDATED: Here’s a script of the above instructions in case you get an error: testtws.m

Follow along in notes above and it should be clear enough.

Like I mentioned, please suggest how the process might be improved if you have ideas. Anything else is welcome too.
