Thanks Def. Your commitment toward quick responses is very much appreciated. -- M

Hi Def, Can you please clarify where in account management we can hardwire the IP address? I didn't see such a page on the IB web based account mgmt page. Thanks. -- M

Can someone who is familiar with both J-trader and IB's TWS provider a comparison of the two trading platforms? Also, can someone who is familiar with both Advanced Futures and IB provide a bigger picture comparison of the two firms in terms of services offered? Thanks. -- M

Thanks Mark. A few more questions: 1. Does your firm pay interest on funds on deposit? 2. Are funds on deposit held in segregated accounts, and are these deposites insured in any way? 3. Are there any inactivity fees? 4. Are there any other charges or fees we should be aware...

Mark, How long will this pricing be in effect? It is just an introductory rate, and then after some period of time after the account has been opened, regular commissions and fees will apply? Or will this fee structure be fixed for the entire life of the account? Thanks. -- M

I am not certain about STOP LIMIT orders outside of regular trading hours for the YM, as the YM doesn't trade on Globex (of which I am not certain however). For the ES (which trades on Globex), you can certainly do this. You just need to make sure the STOP LIMIT order is marked for execution...

Nihaba, First of all, thanks for taking the time to post. I found them very informative helpful. In regards to data vendors: who has the cleanest data? Thanks. -- M

Some thoughts to consider that lead me to believe that the classical interpretation of candlesticks may not hold for intraday 'sticks. 1. Candlesticks were developed by Japanese rice traders who I assume primarily traded off daily or weekly charts. The patterns they've thus developed may...

Thanks for your post Grob. I'm glad to see the thread is generating some positive and constructive postings. -- M

That's a 720 minute, all sessions chart. Two bars = 1 day. I look at swing points from Weekly charts all the way down to the 2 minute levels. From these swing points, I draw the fib levels. I look for confluence of fib levels across time frames to find potential reversal points, on a...
