Personally I like 1.6.0_03 and to run TWS with a lot of "fast" options. But, as said before you can run multiple versions of Java. If you are into computers then just find where javaw.exe is stored in each new install folder and change the TWS shortcuts property so that instead of pointing...

200ms-250ms snapshots so you can build tick charts but not every tick. But there is no lag when busy. Backfill is most usefully in 30 second increments but you can certainly backfill down to 2 second increments, maybe futher.

Bob, It sounds like you're probably going to be given a free pass because you don't strain the systems. I doubt we want to force IB into a "this is the exact rules" mode ... it provides that certainty that people like but lacks the flexibility to meet peoples needs while protecting...

Not wishing to disagree with everything you say, in fact you might assume agreement with anything not included below. You should also not read this as advocating the 4.5 minute bar. On the topic question: I believe that most successful traders have some combination of entry, exit...

Actually, Getting rid of customers who don't fit your business model is one of the most sensible things a business can do. Other than (of course) getting "good" customers who do fit your business model.

steven, you're sounding like a spoiled little girl. Get over it. PM the guy who changed brokers ... you do know how to do that don't you?

I trade it and so does one of my mates in Singapore. Its a lovely little contract. Runs nicely, well behaved, nice liquidity, a delight to trade :)

It makes them look environmentally sensitive. Isn't it great to trade with a Green company concerned about global warming. Not only do they avoid chopping down trees unnecessarily the also only send ticks every 200ms. By doing this they reduce the power consumption of 1000s of processors...

It depends whether you do a small amount (ideal) or larger amount (25k usd plus) (idealpro). The commission is scalable on idealpro but min is 5 bucks and then the only other cost is your achievable spread.

It would be nice to skip the double margins on non-USD pairs. How about fixing that please IB?

Thanks for the funniest thread I've seen in ages. 1. Use the f'ing printer 2. Leave the f'ing paper at your lawyers with your will. 3. If that doesn't fill you with confidence leave the second copy with your wife's mother. Stop worrying.

1. Reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything. 2. Double the amount of ram if its currently under 2 MBytes 3. If there is a faster processor that will fit in your existing motherboard instead of your current one it will probably be another very cheap upgrade.

Now watch the Chinese finesse those sobs :) First they can't sell their aircraft ... now they're whinging about the ever fair competition from China.

This thread has degenerated to the point of bad spelling. Abandon this argument all wise coders.

LOL Def, Thats VERY new. It will be a little too new and slippery until it has a bit of volume :)

Nikkei is a bit limited in range so you need to trade it with that in mind. On ib u can trade N225 N225M and SGXNK. More range in your times can be found with SPI STW (taiwan) and EUR.JPY (currency pair which has reasonable spreads and quite good moves at this time).

You insist on misunderstanding Joab. The guru thing only comes up with people who need to have a god or christ or somesuch and inject it into reality. Reality is that god/christ/religion/lamas are not needed in this discussion. Meditation, Yoga and that specific set of practices that are...

Yes. You could use acronis to image the two partitions and put them onto the new disk. You should then be able to adjust sizes as well. Beware of windows issue with monitoring to see if the partitions have changed when deciding whether or not to boot.

How can I gain access to a Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 computer if I forgot the administrator's password? How can I reset the administrator's password if I forgot it? http://www.loginrecovery.com/ http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=305...

5 years from now almost all programs will still run on XP and may well run on a linux variant as well. When my computer is slow (before actually) I will replace it ... and run XP and linux. I have always turned off the XP eye candy so "Why would I want vista?" And don't think that...
