so def, I´m not talking about the booktraders failure to update prices either. It does...actually very acurate, but I don´t wanna use booktrader just for watching the inside going up and down, I need the market depth....and that´s the actual problem: the Market Depth does not update. It...

hmm...also tried to configure the booktrader to recenter around bid/ask but nothing works. Def, can you give me a hint on what to try next?? been promissed, that the booktraderproblem would be solved at the next release note, but I´ve been waiting for a week now and nothing happend...

have the same problems, also with the CS - chat. there is a guy named cris, but since he´s on vacation, one is waiting for hours in the case of a technical problem... check this one http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=85479 I mean, technical problems happen...

hi guys, recently opened an account at IB to trade a bit FX and mainly the energy futures on the IPE. Last week I faced some minor problems with the IPE data feed over IB, but they disappeared after rebooting my machine. The day after, the market depth was not updating anymore, the...

hey guys...just read thru the posts and some answers are just...awesome. I understand, that it is a bit difficult to seduce women in their best ages, when they want to settle down and you cannot, or do not want to offer them a safe environment for raising a family. First thing that comes...

hi seesound. i wonder a bit about your concern about that topic. of course floor traded products sometimes have different prices compared to their electronic equivalents. this is because electronic trading is much more efficient, than open outcry. no paper, no runners etc... on the...

no problem. tapereading can be helpful no matter what market you are trading in. Understandig volume not only by watching cumulative volume per period, as most traders do, but watching volume matching history on the tape can be a huge advantage for any trading style. although pure...

Tapereading can be used in any market, floor, electronic, no difference... tapereading is about reading the flow of volumes, which is the only driver of the market. no volume, no movement...or have one ever seen a tick without a trade??? when asking about a market, that is tradet both...

so u aint talking about trading, u r talking about gambling. what you describe, is the balls to the walls modus operandi, that will kill every trader in the long run. trading is about riding the edge, and the edge works only with the law of big numbers. if you play your hand only one time...

Hi IB - guys out there...I have a question about the papertrader. for papertrading in my earlier stages I used to trade on Zerolinetrader, that has a quite poor matching behavior ( a limit order will only be filled, if the price is completely traded through...) how about the matching engine...

@ozzy does that mean, camtasia slows needs alot of processor resources?? thats the next thing: no use for software that slows down market data and execution speed. I think, I´ll look at them for myself and testdrive their trial version. @camtasia users: is that right, that with camtasia...

yes, thanks folks. had a look an both options and I must say that camtasia might be the better option. it´s a bit expensive for a one time licence but ceaper than trademaven for 6 month. however, I wondered about Stagnit. Is this a Screenshot - Tool or it it possible to record in movie -...

Hi folks, currently trading NQ by using the tape and MarketDepth and have problems with the end of day review of my trades, because the only market data I´m currently able to use is the chart of the day. However, I don´t use charts for my entries and exits so they are more or less...

hm...but I hope u know what i mean :D

@cheese: you are absolutely right. thing here is, that one has to build up so called predictive models aka setups or patterns, that show you the direction of the next move but you do this work BEFORE you trade and thats important. you predict, before ever having a closer look at the...

no...those rules ain´t reaction, in that case you are right. but those rules predict the direction by reaction to certain behavior of the market. clearly written: I see some patterns I spotted before and i know those patterns are mostly followed by a profitable move. when working on my...

react !!! prediction is for analysts.. trading is about modelling a set of simple rules with few parameters. when u sit in front of the screen trading, u should know the rules already. just concentrate on execution only, means reaction to the setups your rules provide you with. (if you try...

and again no mkt data for eurex...this is very good cause SMI and dax are just ringing their opening bells... thank good for x-trader

so @ all IB guys in the thread: what I want to say with the feed being ugly and slow...I personaly don´t want to complain about TWS, the software just doesn´t fit my personal needs when scalping futures. I have no experience with stocks, as those markets aren´t transparent enough for...

first of all, ib provides retailers with quite low commission AND affordable datafeeds, and people should appreciate this. Some people posting above should remind of TWS as a tool for more then 50 markets with that low commissions. I mean, what do u expect?? If people want a fast reliable...
