I wanted to start a thread to see if anyone has a similar situation or trading style as me, and provide ideas to try and improve. First, I have a full-time job but have the freedom to check the market periodically throughout the day. I have been trading for about 8 years. I trade for my...

I installed the sudo packages but still receive the errs.or messages. I tried installing through wine and still no luck. Is there another way, maybe through virtualization? Thanks.

Through synaptics I installed java run time environment 6. I downloaded TWS but when I click to install TWS it says no java is installed. Plus, when I try to install it through the web version I cannot figure out how to install the program it says to open. If anyone has step by step...

Does anyone use the Ubuntu operating and have TWS set-up? If yes, how did you configure it to work? I am using Windows but have a dual boot with Ubuntu 8.10. Thanks.

I currently use IB and trade futures (mostly intraday). For the front end I use Buttontrader. For the most part, Buttontrader has worked well, but recently I have noticed more problems with the software functioning properly with the multiaccounts option. Does anyone know of software which...

To me this would seem to be a straightforward process. Many specific questions have been listed, and the Cyber rep. could answer all of these, but no specific answers have been given. This kind of reminds me of a classic politician's response: generalized statements but no details about how...

Cybertrader rep: here is a specific question to answer--What are the pre and post market trading hours and through which ECN?

I have been with Cybertrader for many years. The biggest dissapointment is the way in which they have "announced" the switch with "details" to follow. You need to do the reverse: finalize the details and then announce the change. Now we are left wondering all of the exact details. I have e...
