As def says, TWS time and data is not lagging. I can compare TWS data to that of Reuters, eSignal, and numerous local (Japan) brokers. If there's any difference among them, you'll need an Olympic quality stopwatch to measure it.

Let him get a job and then see to it that he learns the art of saving money. Money earned and the sacrifices made in his daily life to save from those earnings will teach him to respect that money when he should cut his losses on a bad trade. I feel that rather than teach someone how to trade...

The evening session is often quite dull with few trading opportunities.

I tried during regular trading hours here in Asia, but TWS still required 100%. Please let me know how it goes when the market opens in the U.S. Will be glad to be able to trade as much as I could before.

I see that the margin requirement has been put back to 50% for some products, but TWS still requires 100%. Or were the changes made after the close in the U.S. and to be effective from tomorrow?

>prince-in-jail The Nikkei Mini is the more liquid of the two. It trades 3 to 400000 contracts a day. The Topix Mini was listed only last month and only 5 to 10000 contracts are traded daily.

I used Reuters for 10 years. In the '90's they had the best charting package available. And as it's now basically the same as it was then, you can say it's light-years behind even average level charting software. So I wouldn't choose it as a backtesting tool. In fact I don't know that it even...

"c'mon guys"!? IMHO 'please, thank you', and the like would result in receiving more and better replies to your question. In the Configure Continuous Contracts box you can put a check in the Enable Back Adjustment box. May I suggest that you will find greater help to your questions...

Tools>Continuous Contract Settings. Create a new contract and Roll template. Edit the Roll template to the rollover date you desire.

Hi, Sorry to say that if you don't live in Japan you can't open an account with a Japanese broker. You could use IB. Their RT cost is 300 yen. That's 3 times what I pay here, but I wouldn't know what other choices you might have.

I've am using 10.1 Gold now here in Tokyo and have no problems whatsoever. The problems that I knew of in 10.1 Beta seem to have been fixed.

In addition, you might experiment with the settings above the number of rows to display, being, Center around last price and Center around midpoint of bid/ask.

In BookTrader>configure>settings>number of rows to display. For example, if the contract shows to best b/a 5, display 12 rows and it will recenter automatically. Sometimes it will run down/up to best b/a 3, but will recenter from there.

I installed the beta version on both an XP and a Vista PC. No I didn't delete the prior Java versions. They remain. So if you have no success with the beta, you can delete it and go back to the current version.

>Old Trader There's a Java beta version out that claims to cure even your athlete's foot. I've been using it for a few weeks and have had no problems whatsoever. It fact it did fix a non-TWS problem. http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ea/6u10/6u10beta.jsp Hope this helps.

I look at it this way. Price action is the 'heart', and an indicator is the 'pulse'. I'd rather have a doctor listen to my heart than feel my pulse to determine my state of health.

Did you click the lower button in the system restore window? That will open a window that shows restore points created when software was installed, when windows update was done etc.

Hi, >When the laptop was woken up from sleep mode, screen was completely black. I just got a new laptop with Vista and right away had a problem when resuming from sleep mode. Go to the MS site and you will find that the problem has various symptoms and no clear cut solution. I reinstalled...
