Hi guys, this is my office. I sit at the desk with the 30" and the 19" black screens. My clerk sits on the other side. -SL

Hello Mizhael, it depends on what you are trading. If you trade futures, you should use booktrader. But if you trade stocks. You can use the main window to execute your orders real fast. Just type in your stock´s ticker in the ticker line. And click the bid or ask, or bid size or ask...

I've been having some problems too with the latest version. I couldn't open the trades window. And when I click a tab in the main screen, they all go messed up. So I downgraded and no more problems. -SL

This is the link: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/download/tws40_install_prev.exe it's version 888 the only one online! That should do it too!

You should downgrade to the previous version. That might solve your problem! I'm using 887.5 and it's working great!

Explain your trouble.

This is my layout. I use esignal for charts and IB for order entry on a 30" screen. I trade stocks, futures, options and currencies. But primarily stocks! -SL

I use the tradersaudio.com S&P 500 pit stream. I love it. I have used it for the past 5 years. And can't trade without anymore. He tells you who's selling? Paper or locals. And when you get used to it, you will know when a significant move is about to happen. Many people say it's the...

No problems here. Try closing esignal and the data manager. And wait for 10 minutes. You'll be logged on to another server. That might help! They appoint you another server every 10 minutes I believe! -SL

So BIDU/GOOG would be something like 175/100 is that correct? Then I understand! -SL

Hi Jonnysharp, Is there a way you can calculate the potential profit if the bidu/goog ratio goes from 0.55 to 0.65? And would you take BIDU/GOOG 100/100 shares? -SL

There have been a lot of problems with eSignal, that are ISP related. I'm located in Holland. And I have a Fiber Glass Internet connection. I have no problems. But I know a lot of traders here in Holland that have a Cable internet connection and have problems with an above.net server. You...

Hi Jonnysharp, very interesting thread! Do you take an equal amount of shares on both stocks. Or do you trade dollar neutral? I think I read a post somewhere, where you said you try to look for pairs that have nearly equal prices? But what would you do on pairs like TV-AMC or...

=n will get you NYSE trades only, no ECNs! That works well for liquid nyse stocks. But for the less liquid stocks you get real choppy charts! I hope they solved the problem today! -SL

I believe 30 seconds is the maximum amount of time the market can be stamped "slow".

Okay. Indeed, it seems like there was another problem. I thought you were trying to sell a NYSE bid when an LRP gets hit. Which happens a lot. Like on LEH when it rallied 6 bucks a few minutes after the open a few days ago. And on V yesterday. Well, I hope they can figure out what the...

No, smart will route an ECN when the NYSE quote is on slow! In your case it was to ISLD. I'm sure SMART definately tried to sell the NYSE bid, but in your case it was already sold, but the bid remaines, although it's not tradeable anymore, until the specialist hits the "fast market"button...

Well, it could be possible that someone came in bid .30 cents higher on NYSE, but that probably will trigger an LRP on that $20 stock, and the market goes into "slow". That bid will be sold before you even think about selling it probably. But the bid will stay there, even though you can't sell...

Hi Trillenium, I think you should look at www.pairtrader.com. Or contact Don Bright on this one. -SL

I've been using ben's service for 3 years. I can't trade without it. I especially love it when this 1 local starts pushing the whole thing lower. It's usually borsellino. -SL
