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

    Daal, So it would seem although I have turned the Reuse Rejected Orders option OFF. That way there are less likely to be any phantoms sitting awaiting a glitch. GTS, Yes. From damnit its not really a surprise although I would have expected more from lindq. Hopefully IB will be...

    IB Best Java Version

    I too am a happy exception 1.6_03 and all is well. There seems to be a misconception here that you have to get rid of 1.6 to run tws on 1.5. Wrong. You can install both and then modify the tws command line to call the java version you want: C:\Program...

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

    Where is the setting bigbubba? The one I found was: Reuse rejected order - if checked, rejected orders will remain on the trading page which doesnt say anything about transmission ... I have however unticked it. There is no auto-reuse in 878 that I can find ... is yours an earlier...

    total implosion of the u.s. real estate market

    I don't have a view on when or how much (in either direction). What I do have a view on is statistics. 24 years is not a long time in the slower markets (or maybe any markets) so just because someone hasn't seen something in their 24 years doesn't mean it won't happen. Its like the 100...

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

    1. Lets assume that he's telling the truth. 2. Another poster has seem similar (but low impact) events. Has anyone else experienced such events (I havent but I'm usually trading when TWS is online and I have very few brownouts).

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

    I will defend IB against stupid claims to the extreme (and would chastise one of the earlier dickheads and even the last poster a little ... IB normally don't respond all that fast to threads unless the answer is simple). In this case I am very sympathetic with zzzap and find the idea of TWS...

    Router - which is THE BEST?

    Wrong. If you compare the quoted cisco router with the manufactured to a price home grade routers there is a big difference in quality and reliability.

    Tired Market. Look Out Below!!

    Let me be the first to predict that if enough people on ET agree that it will go down ... it will go up. Trade what you see happening. :)

    alread Monday-MASSIVE "Sell Off" in Asia

    What a lot of crap. There is no massive asian sell off. Grow up. There was a friday drop in the US. Asia has gone sideways to slightly up since then. Its the end of lunch and SPI, STW and N225 are all above their opening prices. HSI is quite strongly above open. This is classic...

    alread Monday-MASSIVE "Sell Off" in Asia

    This is rubbish. Its just catching up with the US index drops on friday (our friday night). If you look at O'night spi trading you'll see it just tracked it down. AsiaPac is now going sideways after opening proportionally down as one expects after a solid directional move on the US markets.

    ESignal, IB & MS Vista

    The best thing you can do for that new laptop is reformat the c drive, install xp pro or tinyxp 06, and then install your new drivers.

    IB midnight reboots (Eastern time)

    Notice that he has already rejected that time set ... many consider that after hours trading in the US is important to them and thus, the market "is not closed." IB have already chosen the two least disturbing times to do server maintenance activities. The actual reset time experienced by...

    IB midnight reboots (Eastern time)

    1. The hk server reset is not "in the middle of the US markets' trading session." 2. LMAO ... when exactly are "both Asian & US markets are closed." Get over it. For fuck sake ... some of you are whinging cry-babies. Your supposed to be traders ... tough, capable, adaptable. Those of...

    IB lowered margin requirements?

    Lets discuss this again after the next good meltdown (1000s of points, not a few hundred).

    windows vista ... yes or no

    If you want to see your new quad core sing then download a copy of TinyXP v06 off the net. Install it and then install the latest drivers for your rig. Its not ms licenced but I take the view that as long as you have enough XP licences around that you aren't exceeding the number you are...
