    Why would anyone trade the US futures?

    Wow guys, I take it back, looking at the charts: we had 547 points on a 20,000 index (2.6%) but you got 543 points on a 12,600 index (dow) ... 4.2% Wow. Well done. Impressive. Bragging points go to the good ol USA! (Edit: Mark, BF, the post title was just a wind-up for...

    Why would anyone trade the US futures?

    I chose the HSI because when I first looked at Asia the spi was too slow, the osaka nk was too big and I don't think kospi was available. If I was starting now I would choose nk (sgxnk or n225 or mini n225) if I preferred more orderly movements and more volume. HSI is faster, more violent...

    How many times do you restart IB TWS per day?

    Thats weird ... suggests it was fighting something else. You may no longer care to try it but if you try it again with nothing going I'd be interested to know if it worked then.

    Why would anyone trade the US futures?

    Yes dan, feel free to ask. I sleep during the US markets and don't have the stamina to change my sleep times (it would pxss the family off too). ratesquad, there don't seem to be any issues for USA nians to trade HSI. There are on MHI and KOSPI options but HSI has been around for a while...

    Why would anyone trade the US futures?

    Never pointless if it winds a halfwit up. Dan, I use zeroline trader. Its not as hot as button trader but it is fast and so cheap its nearly free. Yes to lunch, they maintained the British setup and have a decent lunch hour (or two) before a brief afternoon session.

    intenet provider for home trading

    Download speeds are interesting especially if you want to add porn to your day ... but ... They are not the real issue for a trader. Our volume requirements are not normally very high. Traders need: - enough bandwidth (probably 128kpbs would meet most needs so my 15,000kbps is really...

    How many times do you restart IB TWS per day?

    LOL yes. I would have ran, not walked, away except for the product recommendation.

    IB's TWS charting capabilities

    I use Sierra Chart but IB's charting may be all you need. If you expand on what you want on your charts someone can tell you if you can do it.

    Alienware quiet? Quadcore recommendations?

    Yes, I confess to some trepidation with the 6600 but it was surprisingly simple. I did take a long time and triple check every instruction. I think it can be better as well as cheaper - some of those silent pc systems are very cool.

    How many times do you restart IB TWS per day?

    Yes, I experimented with that when I first saw the url above thanks notouch but its manual and has the potential to create system instability. The good thing about this program are that each time your programs restart it dynamically allocates the priorities so you don't have to manually...

    How many times do you restart IB TWS per day?

    A big thanks SysWizard. I've put TWS and my order entry front end on Real Time. SierraChart on High. And left everything else to fight it out (but with foreground Apps getting the auto-high) and its made them all more responsive. I thought they were pretty good after I went to a Core2Duo...

    Alienware quiet? Quadcore recommendations?

    If you're willing to build your own system then do a search on "Silent PC" and look at some of the systems people built. Buy yourself a quiet case ... I bought an Antec Sonata for my E6600 system + a quiet CPU fan and its quiet as a mouse. Make sure your graphics card either has no fan or is...

    HSI broker wanted

    Yes, it was. I seem to remember that it came through as a TWS bulletin with plenty of time to spare.

    HSI broker wanted

    IB is both quick and very reliable. I think I've seen two outages in the last two years and one of them was a deliberate shut down for a typhoon. Sierra Chart is a good charting platform to use with IB and I like zeroline trader for order entry and management ... button trader has more...

    Why Jesse Livermore never managed others' money?

    Sounds like Austin got your knickers in a twist Pekelo. That's one hot little button you've got there. :D Nice to see that at least Austin can keep himself in control. I'm sure that everyone appreciates your religious insensitivity too.

    Problems with IE7? Switch to AVANT

    I really would try to get a completely clean install of 2.0 because its better than 1.5 But if you can't make it work you can get old versions of just about everything at: http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=firefox

    Problems with IE7? Switch to AVANT

    Avant works more cleanly with IE6 than IE7 so uninstalling IE7 is a good idea if you can. The firefox 2.0 problems are surprising. Why not try a complete uninstall (then clean out the program and user directories just to be sure) and then reinstall.
