    IB main/demo acct problem

    Not sure about that but if you have an IB account, you can open a paper account for free and open both simultaneously. The paper account gives you the full functionality and is better than the demo account.

    tax question to americans trading us market while living in foreign country

    You can easily find the "correct" information from the web. Go to the IRS website and find publication 54. In general, there is an "exclusion" for foreign earned income of $85,700 (2007) but as always, there are other things to consider. Here, I will even help you out a little bit...

    Raschke's 3/10 oscillator in Ensign

    FYI, Ensign will allow you to change the formula from exponential to simple (among 8 other formulas) so it would be feasible to use MACD to get what you want.

    Does IB Booktrader allow for multiple targets?

    Daal: You may not be seeing the right hand section from his screenshot as it only shows up ("expands") if you choose one of the related options such as a trailing stop.

    Does IB Booktrader allow for multiple targets?

    He got the window from trying to configure hotkeys for the booktrader. I saw a reply from Def (from IB) recently (either in ET or the IB forum) that said the 2nd and 3rd targets were there for future use (not yet implemented). For now, you would have to use a 3rd party frontend like...

    IB ; How to plot market internals?!

    I don't believe that you can chart in TWS but I know that the Ensign software has a workaround and will let you chart. You may want to search their website and it might give you some information.

    Is anybody out there an expert with TWS' BookTrader?

    There should already be a hotkey setup for bracket orders. On my machine it is "right click" on the bid/ask. Look under configuration for the booktrader and see if you have a hotkey already set up which will allow you to click within the DOM.

    Hot keys and bracket orders with demo

    Not true, they do have a demo but just keep in mind it is just that. The data is not accurate but most of the tools and functions can be viewed. Once you open an account, you can also open a parallel "paper trading" account (free) that uses live data for simulation/testing.

    IB Down?

    I logged in about an hour ago and have started up a couple of times (went ahead and downloaded the newest standalone version) and have had no problems. I believe I am connected to the US server. I am in Tokyo.
