    Great Example of Tradestation Incompetence

    I downgrade from the full CME data entitlement to the CME minis entitlement last night, and I lose my CME data completely. The web entitlement page reflects no change. I wait 35 minutes on the phone, to be told I may or may not have entitlements this morning. I email customercare several...

    Tradestation 8.0 - what a disapointment

    IMHO, the single best feature tradestation could add is a chart option to update on every change to 'insidebid' and 'insideask'. currently, you can plot these, but on a one tick chart, the EL will only run when a trade is made, not when the inside spread changes, which can be a real nuisance...

    Dell Coupon

    i had second thoughts on the dell d600 after hanging out on the dell boards, and cancelled my order. anyone happen to have an IBM friends and family 15% coupon lol? would definitely help price an r40 or t40 down to dell sized dimensions. it doesnt seem to jive with some opinions expressed...

    IB Sticky

    Anyone else notice in the last two weeks or so, TWS all of a sudden goes nuts and plays catch up on its quotes, as if there's a bottleneck somewhere. Maybe a few times a day, some days/times much more than others. Otherwise only prob I've ever had is the occasional freezing of a symbol, but...

    are there any firms out there that perform wholesale consulting in aggressive tax avoidance for the little guy? (perhaps a bit of an oxymoron i know). is there a definitive, current text on the subject

    Dell Coupon

    you must be a pretty persuasive customer, i tried to get more than the 15% coupon discount on a d600 latitude, but didn't want to wait for a response on my escalated request so i went ahead and made the order. tried to change part of my order this afternoon and got some serious runaround...

    Foreign Markets with IB

    thanks for the info guys, this clarifies everything. i didn't realize i we can convert at a time of our choosing, or at a pre-selected fixed credit/debit amount which seems like a prudent way to go. Also didnt realize USD margin would suffice for other base currency markets. Sounds like using...

    Foreign Markets with IB

    There appear to be a few logistical hurdles in trading both US and foreign futures intraday in a USD denominated IB universal account. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this, and would appeciate any advice from the many whove been down this road. These appear to be my options: A...

    Ib 1099

    I currently trade futures only through IB. The 1099 looks real clean, a net profit figure and a seperate commission figure. No need to go through individual trades for tax purposes. If I want to start trading some equities in 2004, will my IB 1099 split the relevant equity trade profit...

    k, well, not to expose my stupidity, but to expose my stupidity.... @TY is March ZN. My free daily cbot data in TS was delayed. With proper realtime, they match up.

    ZB ZN ZF Question

    Thanks guys, and cwjcntr for the link, that confirms I've got the right contract in TWS. Prices on cbot site match TWS. Agree, most likely explanation for a bid/ask discrepancy is comparing a pit contract to an electronic one. In this case, I'm 99% certain thats not the case because...

    ZB ZN ZF Question

    correct, @US = ZB, @TY = ZN and @FV = ZF hypothetically but why the different B/A? something is not right I am using the 'electronic' contracts in tradestation, not the 'pit' contracts (pit example @US.P, electronic @US). seems March ZB should be the same as @US but they aren't
