Basically the client vm loads faster. The server vm runs faster. So unless you plan to load and unload TWS repeatedly during the day .... But you have to download the jdk to get the server dll. Then copy it and its folder into the jre bin folder (at same level as the client folder).

I've been running it for a week now. Very nice (I use it in Server VM mode with draw turned on). Run ( 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe -cp jts.jar;pluginsupport.jar;jcommon-1.0.12.jar;jfreechart-1.0.9.jar;jhall.jar;other.jar;riskfeed.jar;rss.jar -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=false -server...

Until the volatile situation is over, no intraday margins. However, given your chosen name I recommend another broker. Choose someone with low margins ... other than IB.

Not necessarily James. As always we just have to trade what we see as we see it.

It is a public holiday in HK (and probably China). You can call Europe now ... I don't know their hours but it should be on the website somewhere. Correction: Europe's been open for 27 minutes:http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=customerService&ib_entity=llc Your experience today...

Aussie SPI down 2.9% and Taiwanese STW down 5.3% currently. Should get a nice gap down in the US.

Just a heads up to look at your exposure. IB are obviously concerned that risks are higher again - fasten your seatbelts. IMPORTANT NOTICE regarding Intraday Margin In light of the market volatility and the continuing turmoil in financial services stocks, IB will eliminate intraday...

You have to be joking. No employee could poke so much shit at so many halfwits and remain employed. I suspect one or two employees might be amused by my entertaining posts --- but no, I am not an employee of IB. FWIW, in my trading career I have had close to 10 brokers and IB is one...

Zealotry: fanatical devotion Not me wrt IB. But on the other hand I do enjoy poking sticks at twats. And IB attracts critics who seem stupid to the point that they are moronic. Yourself probably included given the name and inability to correctly use an underscore. I would encourage...

Your gap down is my Asian market trend day. And my gap is your US market trend day. I am expecting a rangy sort of day on Monday in Asia ... so you probably wont' get much of a gap. Hey, but what do I know?

Try eur.jpy .... its a major like eur.usd so has a better spread. But the asian session is the least trendy part of the day for forex so you might consider trading index futures instead. STW SPI KOSPI HSI Nikkei

Seeing you are in need of eternal wisdoms: Steam rollers can't roll steam; and Hedge Hogs don't hog hedges. Hope this helps.

It's a matter of strategy. In both cases, if that's their strategy and they follow it then they are managing it well. It's harder to manage a "soft stops" strategy purely because rational thought gets more difficult as emotions rise and a $5000 loss might cause irrational behaviour. Or it...

There are no certainties except: death taxes jack is mad as a hatter (stop licking the mercury jack).

My first response: oh my god! My second response: this is terrible. Just awful. Its the worst. I should leave IB. My third response: I hope Mary does. And I hope shes a really active trader.

In your humble opinion.

The structure and underlying speed look good. But lets not forget that its still a beta so all the shit that google is (justifiably) getting should result in dramatic improvement - or most will stick with firefox. It still needs an equivalent to Adblock Plus because many of us don't want to...
