The following simple procedure allowed me to run TWS with 64-bit Java, without installing 32-bit Java at all. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Initially i had no Java and no TWS installed. First, I installed 64-bit Java (version 7 update 6), and then i installed TWS Standalone build 929...

I am not aware of anything that would stop a broker from offering DMA services to its customers while at the same time "internalizing" marketable customer orders. Also, im not aware of anything in the article or otherwise that would cause internalization to affect displayed orders more than...

On any given exchange, generally, orders submitted earlier will execute before orders submitted later and displayed orders will execute before hidden orders. This is true for orders submitted on the same exchange. However, if your buy order is on NASDAQ at 8.08, you could see many shares trade...

What was your stop "trigger method" set to for this order?

Thank you for sharing your experience so that everyone benefits. Although i am not having this problem, I suggest you try the following and get back to us here: If sending via TWS and not the API, create your relative order but just before sending the order, right-click the order line, click...

I tested today. If you still have a problem, post here specifically what the problem was and we'll try to figure it out

I would like to thank DAV and others for working on this issue. To summarize, they have recently introduced 2 new order types: a "relative passive" order which allows "negative offsets" and more importantly a true ISLAND relative order which rolls back if the NBBO becomes less aggressive. I have...

On my computer, yahoo has no historical data at all for that symbol. Here, try this: http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/charts/chartdl.aspx?MA0=0&MA1=0&PT=4&SZ=0&D5=0&DCS=2&C1=1&C2=0&C4=2&C3=3&width=612&height=258&D2=0&CE=0&symbol=FR:LVC&filedownloadbt.x=1

Try MSN Money Central or Google Finance instead. They have what you're looking for

How is each computer connected to the internet?

Sometimes when you have a lot of pending orders in the account, it takes longer to accept every additional order you enter. So if you use computer 1 to enter say 1000 orders, and then you use computer 2 to enter another 1000 orders in the same account, you will notice that the first 1000 orders...

Im not aware of any "additional routing costs" to providing exchange pegged orders. To my knowledge, pegged orders are like limit orders in terms of exchange routing costs. If the pegged order ends up adding liquidity, the exchange will give a rebate, and if the pegged order ends up taking...

The solution is to allow sending of native exchange pegged orders rather than to patch up IB's simulated version of the orders. ISLAND and ARCA have been offering these pegged orders for many years now. The native exchange orders are efficient, they roll back, and in the case of ISLAND, negative...
