Interestingly the one supported may not be the best one. I know of a lot of people here who moved to the late 1.6's and are still happily using them. Most of the 1.6 problems were in the early stages of 1.6 (_3 or before) with earlier TWS's. One of the Sierra Chart users recently had problems...

They also bought a lot of Aussie property. Lots of McMansions on the Gold Coast owned by Japs but unoccupied. Now losing value. So are they selling those and repatriating that money too?

IB forex volumes are meaningless unless someone brings together volumes that include major speculator, bank and government activity. And certainly no one has done this at a retail level. Fx Futures volumes are not going to provide what you would normally get in stocks and other futures...

We shall see no doubt. An economy buoyed by commodities can show some huge flaws if the commodities weaken. Hopefully, for Brazilians, this won't be the case.

Basic + A mobile phone. All phone lines out of here use the same cable ducts so multiple services with multiple providers still equals the same weak point. Only one significant failure in the last 4 years (a flood). 2 minors, one in which I had no positions on and one in which the stop...

The only place with an anomaly is the yen denominated futures (nikkei, topix etc) where unbundled is more expensive. I believe IB are again looking to resolve this problem.

The security "draconian rights" issue with chrome may be about to disappear: “In order to keep things simple for our users, we try to use the same set of legal terms (our Universal Terms of Service) for many of our products. Sometimes, as in the case of Google Chrome, this means that the...

1. You might want to read Google's terms and conditions ... think about privacy. I'm running a copy of chrome from curiosity but its compiled from the OS code and misses out some of Googles stuff (not enough i suspect). 2. Until it has Adblock Plus it's an advertisers dream. Firefox...

I already knew you were an idiot. But clearly you are not in the old shit stirrer category. Common practice at ET is to adopt a new nick every month or two and espouse opinions as stupid as yours - hence the old shit stirrers (in new clothes).

Vista64 would be a much safer choice than XP64 ... because XP64 is an orphan. And never a popular or pretty one. Vista64 and (better) Windows Server 2008 64 are good performers.

This is all bs. I was looking for something the other day and came across some techie threads back when XP was released. Windows 98 was good. Win 2k was wonderful. Winxp was a resource hog. LOL. Guess what never changes. Whinging about Microsoft. Oh ... yeah ... and whinging about...

re speed: i think the basic multithreaded browser & current software are responsible for that. re functionality: agreed, without adblock plus equivalence no browser is all that good.

It is a bit faster than firefox (noticably on a core2duo 8500) Downsides: - not as minimal as my tinymenu addon makes ff - no adblock plus (but then google likes adverts). So FF it is.

The true quality of the title's argument is revealed by the number of 2008 poster's supporting it. They're either old shit stirrers or new dickheads. Perhaps I'm making a mistake by attempting to differentiate.

Fortuneteller is only half right. Because the maximum packet rate from ib is 10 per second you never get more than 10 "ticks" per second. That means that you see less ticks than the market has at busy periods (for very busy markets). But. Most use tick charts to spread the bars out at...

It depends. It might be that the router concerned doesn't want to respond to the number of pings its getting (not a problem because it doesn't affect its routing). It might be that there is a bad link which is causing the timeouts which is a problem. If there is a bad link though you...

It is always interesting to see the difference between the opinions of those who joined et this year and those who've survived the trading and et experiences. Good post Mark. And to anyone else who understands that the technical in ta describes the use of price or price and volume (with or...

You can tell the fools and their egos are out to play when they start to quote themselves with highlights. Some even fit Mr Cooks definition of moron Steve.

Jeez, threads like this really bring out the worst in people. Price action is TA.

Actually the "long term diverisfied holders of stocks and funds over 10-20 year periods make money 100% of the time. and that also can't be challanged" can be challenged. Just go back to the 60s and 70s and I seem to recall a period where you could have bought and waited a long time for an...
