Excellent work thanks IB. And excellent work to you too Tums (I've been wondering when someone would get around to deleting some of those posts ... pointing out the self-evident truths about the moronic nature of some ET members does take one over the line a bit after all.)

Thanks for the update DAV. TraderNik, as recession bites and people realize how much money they've lost in the markets and on their houses we can expect a contraction in the number of people trading. On the bad side that will reduce liquidity and daily ranges. As well as creating personal...

You have to be joking.

I'd question Ensign as the top software (I think Sierra Chart is better) but the recommendation of alternative backfill solutions is good if you've been having too much trouble with IB.

They're worldwide. Call Europe if the US is still asleep.

Agreed. IB real time data is great (example: today; question, has HSI closed early, response, no, questioner, oh, esignal hasn't got any data, response, IB is fine). QT, Ensign and Sierra Chart all have alternative backfill options. I don't use them because, by good luck or skill+a small...

The version that a number of TWS users have been using since beta 16 has been released (b33, rc2+ is the live version). info: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/6u10.html jre at http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp jdk at http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp You...

If you want to run it continuously then you can: - manually adjust the exit time to 15 minutes before now a couple of times a day - setup a macro that does the same thing from time to time. There is also a TWS programing group in yahoo groups somewhere and I recall there was a clever...

Can I use that on other ib bashing threads Tums. Its a nice alternative to calling someone a twat or a wanker. Or getting rude with them.

Remember a few other things (if one is to trade even half rationally): - irrational exuberance goes all ways - the aussie is a mineral based currency But, hey, short the little f''k ... its sitting in a nice triangle for a breakdown here. We will see :)

I bet they love you at parties. You're the guy getting tarred and feathered right? :) I say "I'm a futures trader" which creates the questions "what are futures" and "do you work for someone." Choose what you say based on your audience but remember that helicopter pilots get laid more often...

Don't forget the two SGX ones. Mod, do a search for nikkei or n225. There is lots of discussion here.

No. I've always used xp pro x32 (just because it was there).

Memory and cpu. 4G is plenty. I'd upgrade the cpu though ... even the 8300 would be better ... the 8200 is bottom spec.

You should have talked to the parents of 1960's teenagers .... although they would have skipped "cunts."

They told most of us. But they recognized a twat and didn't tell you --- shows they have good taste :)

It just means you were the only person they didn't tell first.

LOL SA lives and continues his self-deception. It's everyone elses fault he cries as he runs down the street naked. My sympathies to real Brazilians sufferering. The nature of markets is that the last group in are usually the most honest, innocent and naive. And the "we're insulated...

You are probably not saying the same thing. The "wrong" demo account is the publically usable demonstration of what TWS is. The data is thin, off, and only there to show how tws works not as good data (probably to stop people freeloading on ib without a customer account). You log in with...

The difference is real. I used the workstation adaptations. If you alter vista and ws2008 to get them as close as possible you discover that somewhere, ms did some extra work on ws2008 that was admirable. Hopefully vista might benefit from the difference in time but we'll have to wait and...
