    Annyoing issues on all machine with new IB

    Hmmm. 878.5 and 879.9 java 1.6.0_03 XP SP3 (beta) Running fine. Something must have got screwed up in the install. Clean time :( Just a note: the sp3 beta seems good. Seems to run faster apparently because its got some improvements for dual processor. All credit to MS for a faster...

    Are you profitable? So take this challenge...

    Someone would have to be desperate (no cash and not worried about bankruptcy) to bother with this. Or they're from Nigeria and have figured out a way to just take the capital. 100k is play money so why would anyone here bother?

    IB -- No Connection??

    IB ... On the Subject of Improvement Having noted Go4's issue with recovery I noticed that I couldn't backfill US markets yesterday afternoon (Aus time). On my market data USHMDS2a was marked as disconnected. I tried a few times and then restarted TWS (879.9) ... and it connected and the...

    IB -- No Connection??

    I did find the change hard. But it was actually a good one because I had been trading one market for several years with gradually improving technique. Adapting the same strategy to 3 quite different markets has really forced me to think about what works and why. I still find that HSI tells...

    Is anyone trading the Nikkei 225 Mini?

    Simulated trading may require that you already have trading permissions for the SGX ... does that work? When you trade in another currency your wins or losses appear in your account in that currency and are then accumulated. If you change less than 25kusd of winnings back at a later date it...

    How do you know when to stop trading for the day??

    I follow targets strategy but also have a break if I make two critical errors in a day. What the errors are has varied over time but I find that if I make two then the probability has been that the day will continue poorly. I like trading so its also a built in punishment.

    IB -- No Connection??

    Not at all. I love to see improvements in my tools. My issue was that you leaped onto your high horse in response to my post and your horse was an illusion. Leaving you lying in the muck you were attempting to rake. I assume you had a bad day on the Hang Seng?

    IB -- No Connection??

    For fuck's sake go4. Read the posts that precede mine and look at the ping plots. Note where the issues are. Apply your intelligence (if available) and you might just notice that they are showing internet problems. I will charitably assume that you know little about networks or your...

    IB -- No Connection??

    With this sort of problem (internal issues to the "internet" itself) it may be more a question of which ISP do you use not which Country. The deals that your ISP has for transporting data may determine which routers and switches are traversed so you may lose your connection and the guy next...

    How is IB's charting?

    Sierra Chart (my preference) and Ensign Software give higher functionality alternatives to IB charting and quotetracker at a slightly higher price.

    IB data for last contracts

    You can download prior contracts. However here's the contract. Its actually a .7z compressed file because www.7-zip.org compresses text files a lot more than zips. http://download.yousendit.com/E688D7CA2DA9B035

    MSCI TAIWAN INDEX (TWZ07) futures

    I dropped SGXNK for now (I wanted less correlation and its the smallest mover so I had to trade it slightly differently to the other two). I've replaced it with EUR.JPY SPI and STW both have nice moves and I trade more of whichever one triggers my edges more on the day.

    High Speed Internet

    That looks to me to be you pinging your own machine (127.0.0.1 is internal loopback) so you might want to check IB's IP address.
