I have been a user of AB for a couple of years so I'm pretty happy with it, but I do agree that some of the real-time performance can be improved. I think more attention is not paid to this area because most of the users of Amibroker are probably EOD traders, and it is only with the introduction...

Interesting possibility. I just read up on the "Lilav-FX-cash" in your release notes. How did the user end up with 1 lot though, that is not clear.

Why do some market makers on IB ideal-pro post odd sizes like 999,999?

Good point. I guess the "line in the sand" shifted. :confused: Covered the USD/YEN short here.

I just went short at these levels, anticipating bounce in the Yen. Using tight stops. Here is some interesting commentary from Don Coxe that covers the Yen: http://bmoharrisprivatebanking.com/webcast.asp "But apart from this kind of thing, the banking system in Japan seems to be...

Not directly related to E-trade, but of general interest: FSA warns of criminal gangs inside City banks The UK's Financial Services Authority has repeated a warning that organised gangs of criminals are infiltrating British banks in order to carry out large-scale frauds. The watchdog...

Rogue or pawn? Is it entirely implausible that Liu could have deceived his overseers at the SRB? Not really: financial malfeasance is frequent in China, and so is an unwillingness of officials to report setbacks to their superiors. Furthermore, the regulation of Chinese financial markets is...

Weekly NG reports comes out on thursday.

Totally agree.

I second the cad/jpy suggestion.

Seems like a mistake to associate with a sinking ship, especially if the customers are leaving anyway, and the full details of the story have yet to surface. What is IB getting into? Makes me leary. As far as I know IB has no acquisition experience either.

Anyone have an RRSP account with them for trading futures?

With most of the media focus on oil, I think NG in the U.S. market might well spike to 20 this winter.

Well for the rest of us, at least we will now have access to a more realistic paper trading account in order to test out our API programs.

It seems the pattern here is that funds are wired out to an account with a different name, while people are on vacation. IMO, Etrade could have avoided most of these problems by doing a simple name check. BTW, if google etrade fraud, this thread comes up.

1) Add spike resistant alerts. Add option so that price alert will be triggered only if price exceeds alert level for x seconds 2) Sharper resolution for TWS charts -- the charts appear fuzzy to me

Forbes predicting oil is like gates predicting US dollar. They should stick with what they know.

Are both accounts on the same servers ? I have seen that if you login to a non-SSL supported account (i.e. HK server) then login to a SSL supported account (US server) with SSL selected, the second login will hang. As a workaround I have to login without SSL, logout, then login again with SSL to...

Is there a website that tracks the timing of this? i.e. announced intentions vs. actual repatriation

Please consider enhancing the alert funtionality to combine price and time variables into a single alert. i.e. if price of contract is greater than X for Y seconds then send order
