Profitable traders use accountants ... hell profitable anything use accountants. Also, the poster who assumed that you could tell whether someone was profitable by the warm cuddly nature of their posts has little life experience. There are plenty of rich a'holes. :)

And no one will bother writing viruses for it so we won't need them ... win win win :)

Looking at the comparison there doesn't seem to be any reason (beyond ms's "support" for pro) to upgrade. If you consider that you can get a free copy of XP Pro (tiny or educational) from torrents in a couple of years if you really feel you need the "extra support" from ms then there seems to...

I think I'll just run XP for another 5 or 10 years. SP3 is rather nice and I am quite happy to select products that are XP compatible and buy my PC's free of manufacturer loaded OS's. In 2015 we'll be able to buy Vista's replacement -- hopefully without the kiddie porn eye kandy. Or I'll...

If you can't get in and out with a profit on a $14 commission you won't make money with IB either. You should stay where you are. Also if any of your friends have spent less than 5 years learning about brokerages and trading can you keep them away from IB too. Note that you'll get no...

No. Not if you're too stupid to use them.

Are you sure that still works Tums ... I tried that with 1.5.14 and 1.6.03 and TWS kept saying it was running on 03 (check Help About on TWS to find out what Java it is using). Battleriver, I believe you are supposed to use 1.5.0_14 at present. I'm using 1.6.0_04 but I don't know if I'm...

The phrase "pretentious wanker" comes to mind here.

LOL Go4, My only objection to anything you said in your last post would be that its not proven that the data delay problem was IBs. It's very possible that the exchange had not confirmed the trades --- has that been checked?

Bad luck Go4. Sorry to hear. MB, I stopped trading HSI late last year when it kept jumping off my ZLT dom. Too many big gaps for my comfort. Its likely to gap down hard today unless Nikkei bounces up for some reason ... probably open below 23000 with the US lead.

One trading screen. Two markets, four charts. Trade on the chart (Sierra Chart & IB) The perfect amount of information. :cool:

If the risk of IB banking with City worries you then you are NOT cut out to be a trader. Give it up now. More importantly ... do not fund your account with IB ... I do not want another fucking whinging loser newbie at IB - you waste their valuable (and rare) customer service resource. So...

Another self selected wanker. And no-doubt over time a failed trader for the same reason.

A bullshit thread. Engineering outages is NOT in IB's interest -- they are in the fast cheap and reliable game. If IB really wanted to make money from customers they just have to select all you losers and take the opposite side of every trade. Even if you have a winning day your 8 mates...

LMAO day7793, Why do people try to link you two? Simple. Because whenever we get a total idiot here the tendency is for him to be a new incarnation of an old idiot. I agree with the earlier poster that you don't seem to be the same people. Unless of course Stocktrad3r has been...

Joab's right. Woodie's CCI entries and exits can work. So can ross hooks. So can lots of things. Its the person trying to learn them and the learning process that's at fault not the trading technique.

LMAO RM. An allegation with nothing to back up is as hollow as your threats. Just more RM bullshit. I've noted plenty of people disagree with your unsupported opinions in the past -- no doubt some of them were right, many more intelligent than you, many more knowledgeable or better educated...

Put up or shut up tough guy (LOL)

What part of put up or shut up don't you get? If you haven't got anything to back it up ... you might just be making it up. Standard bullshit fare.

LMAO Rearden As we say down here: Put up or Shut up (often followed by the friendly salute: dickhead).
