    Program prevent IB TWS from closing.

    Here is the current version (it obviously can't input your one time passwords) but I like the "put the restart one hour in the past option"

    Charting to compliment IB datafeed

    I've traded the IB data feed for quite a few years now. I use the Asian server. Up until the Chinese psychosis reached the Hang Seng a few months ago I traded that future. Its one of the fastest moving things out there and with IB data I was never lagging, always able to see what was...

    Charting to compliment IB datafeed

    1. There is no major concensus at ET about anything (even if we could spell it). 2. If you can't trade with IB data I'm willing to bet you can't trade at all. 3. This "trading against the best" thing is more crap. You don't have to take money from the best ... you just have to be faster...

    Why do people use Volume, Range and Tic charts?

    Marketsurfer claims to be a skeptic. Wrong. He's just a fraud. Promotes his scum book buddy .. but all in all, just a fraud.

    Thinking of buyign some books

    On the psych front: Mark Douglas is very good for understanding the fear related issues in trading and a method for approaching them (brute force). Steenbarger - Enhancing Trader performance is worthwhile from a modern (non-nlp) look at how to train oneself and overcome problems. People...

    China puts Hong Kong share plan on ice

    I wonder if that will mean the shanghai cowboys stop playing on hsi though. Until that happens intraday volatility will stay extremely high.

    HSI down another 1000 points; does anyone care?

    Memory speed vs. memory timing??

    How can that be true? If ECC memory corrects a proportion of memory errors that occur then it increases reliability. And for a trader that increases the chance that the price you see is correct. If the ram has an error occur in a byte involved in something to do with trading there is a...

    Memory speed vs. memory timing??

    In gaming people will push the limits because the downside of a glitch or system failure is low. In trading a more conservative strategy is appropriate. So standard timings and good memory.

    $52k gone from my IB account. What next, sue IB?

    I suspect that the OP is innocent of "playing around with it" because he doesn't seem inclined to hold such big exposure going into the news event. I would have to say that I look at TWS's account page only just before I finish a trading session so I would have probably missed this problem...
