My mentor (making real money consistantly) says unequivocally, "yes".

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated. I suspected it was a fluke, but it just goes to show you've got to pay attention all the time.

Anyone have any idea what happended? IB didn't. I was long AMKR at $5.32 at 11:21 EDT. I had resting stop/limit order to sell, stop 5.22, limit 4.00. At about 11:42 my stop hit, the pending page turned black again, and the order dissappeared. But, for about 5 minutes the execution page showed no...

I spent a week in Swift Trades Toronto office in March, the place seemed like a morgue. They have 2 entire floors, one of which had NO ONE trading, no one at all. The traders I talked to were sick and tired of no competition and high commissions. Also, I can tell you from my personal experience...

I use qcharts with IB, combo works great, don't use new, the charts show the news before it hits the wire services or CNBC anyway.

Specialists are acting like the hurt animals they are, they cannot survive, and they know it. Until they're gone, I'd rather trade naz.

breakout, I completely agree with you. Fact is, if you can consistanly make $150 per day, eventually you can move up (with disciplined emotions, etc.). In addition, your $150 a day looks even better when compared to a self employed person (like I used to be) paying an EXTRA 15% a year in...

Since last night, when I bring up Qcharts, I don't even get a loggin box. Never happened before. Any ideas?

don't think you can get them with IB

This isn't a very elegant way to fix bizzare problems like this, but more times than not, if you completely remove TWS from your computer, and then do a clean reinstall (make sure windows registry is wiped clean of any TWS bits too) I'll bet the glitch goes away. Good luck.

You need to be a programmer and use TWS's software API's. All the stuff is available on IB's web site, but you need to be able to program. Also, there are some limitations involved with using the API's versus TWS.

illiquid, I beleive the squarish pins you are seeing is for digital video out (versus analog out on a regular VGA plug). Unless your current video card is a dual head card, you can't hook up two monitors. I suspect it's not. You "should" be able to just plug in another (non-AGP) PCI video...

I for one would love the idea. I use Qcharts, it works fine, and there is nothing elseeven close to realtick type charting. I hope IB can do this. All I really care about is being able to click on level to bring up some kind of order window that defaults could be set into. Better yet would be...

Can someone tell me where the links to the chat archives went to, that used to be on the home page. I missed todays chat on ARCA and would like to read it. Thanks!

Real tick does not charge $10 for level 2, it ends up being something like $50 I believe.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for. The link takes you to a list of sector indexes which in turn link to the lists of components. Hope this helps. http://www.mobydata.com/comp.htm

I have two comments that you may find useful. Firstly; if you want to trade short term, it doesn't matter what the market does. You can make money long or short. So many people just don't get that. It's toughest in a trendless market like we've been experiencing, but it's great to learn when...

I have a Radeon VE card with two monitors hooked up to it. I'm running the Hydravision software that came with it from ATI. Does anybody know from experience if I add a pci card for a third monitor if the Hydravision software will still work, ie. can I expand a single application across all...

I had a conflict with the Java download from Sun and a browser application crashing. It sounds like you have a similar type problem and might want to try this as it is super simple. Open control panel and find the Java icon. Go to the tab with the browser settings and disable Java as the...

I'm the king of the cheap bastards and too am fairly new at this game. After trying QQL, Esignal, and Qcharts as well as investigating others and watching Realtick in action for a week of solid trading with a mentor I have come to the following conclusion. 1-you get what you pay for (usually)...
