LOL ... IB to Tradestation Can you say "frying pan to fire?" And the clock thing. Can't you morons master the internet - just because your mamma says its 11:00am doesn't mean its so. All I can say is "thank god you've gone." Every peckerwood idiot that leaves IB is another reduction...

And I missed the point of the second half -- how does a 5 second lag impact minute bar based system. Only that the break might occur in that 5 seconds and it might matter to me. I'd be more comfortable ignoring it if I traded 15 m bars ... maybe.

LOL ... a smart-ass comment like "And to be fair and balanced, the above analogy is not to be construed in any way that IB is the biggest brokerage financially or has the most clients. It isn't and it doesn't." is your weakness Osorico. It demonstrates your intent and makes any claim to be...

The tick count is not true. But the volume is correct as are the OHLC of the bar. So if you must have the same tick count as someone else then the data is incorrect. But you can use tick charts if you use them because they spread market action at busy times (they can just never spread it by...

Getting two feeds is interesting but not useful. Most packages can do that or you can run two instances (at least I'd hope they can). But it doesn't combine the two to produce one chart that is both timely and accurate. Can QT combine the two feeds to create one better feed? That's what...

It seems to me that the ideal is to combine IB's feed with another feed. Using Sierra Chart as my platform I partly do this. IB has two feeds, the second one of which most people seem unaware of and many platforms ignore. The first is their live feed which sends a packet every 100ms (or...

On IB. I don't know if USA(nians) can trade them though.

Correct Jack. And if you use the 5 second data you can get the full ohlc.

You can do it very effectively with Sierra Chart. But like most good things, and lunches, it is not quite free.

Thats a very piggy view. Get out of the trough and let the OP just improve his MACD.

I would encourage you to continue with the macd. You could use jurik mas or hull or t3 mas instead of those slow emas. Don't worry about overshoot ... its only a problem if the numbers are too small. Don't buy into this price action/human brain stuff. I hope you will do this for several...

Is "categorical reasoning" a new way of saying "intellectual masturbation" or is it the real thing in this case?

I just fired up tws and sierrachart again and tried a spi-200809-snfe backfill. No problems on either 5sec or live data. Just a couple of days of data though. tws 886.5 java 1.6.0_10rc xpsp2 hk server from the gold coast

Two things: Why does it have to be flat? A great recession would be down. So much agreement on ET has always been a contraindicator in the past (but this time might be different).

It's ok out of Asia. You probably need to say where you are and what you want to backfill to get a relevant answer.

For potentially greater memory usage but better responsiveness under windows xp. right click my computer select properties (system properties) advanced tab performance settings advanced tab and favour Background Services and System Cache. This tells XP to give things that are...

I've used memory optimizers gaj but don't any more. Why? Because I switch my machine off once a day (I don't leave anything connected to the net/wireless while we sleep) so I've never seen unacceptable memory use expansion and when you optimize you force dlls etc to unload/tidy up. Such...

For jnet. No that is not correct. Now, understand me, I love IB and I actually use their tick data (you just have to develop your own analysis knowing how it differs). IB live data on minute charts does not give exactly the same results sadly. The reason for this is that those 200ms...

1. If you were going to invade russia then you'd want to take the distances and weather into account. You might also want to limit the number of enemies you took on at once. 2. Who (including the Russians and the British) ever won in Afghanistan?

No. I remember looking at something like that from the exchange and it was expensive (but it might have been sgx data).
