    ib must be selling order flow on options

    If your computer is fast enough and close enough to the exchange then you can fill faster than the remote users software will register its existence ... to all intents instantaneously.

    Trading Environment on Portable Hard Drive

    It should actually be pretty easy. Save the install programs on the disk. Save the c:\program files\ directories for the trading progs on the disk (to copy over the newly installed ones) Save the C:\... \Application Data directories on the disk (again to copy over). You could use...

    Vista, XP, OSX Multiboot

    Windows is a warm open OS compared to the MAC world. MAC is all about proprietary and the extra margin you can get for that. Does that answer the question? On dual boot: google it, I recall quite a bit of material on it (although I think its much easier if XP is the primary and I suspect...

    Lost IB SWIFT transfer

    I had a broker lose a transfer for nearly 4 weeks once. Don't assume that the banks involved aren't hiding the money away for a few days each ... it sounds like they need the extra cash at present.

    ib must be selling order flow on options

    So you are just going to fail. And probably squealing like a little girl on your miserable way. Hopefully you'll keep trying for long enough to do some good by feeding the rest of us. Cheers :)

    ib must be selling order flow on options

    OK. So you've had a good whinge now. So get over it. Are you a trader or a whining little girl? Make your mind up now! If you're not happy with the routing then either get quotes for alternative exchanges and submit to your advantage or ... just find another broker! Hell just submit...

    We note of course that the defendants will be presumed innocent. Nice scam though - it would make a Nigerian happy.

    QuoteTrader or NinjaTrader and do I need Ensign or Sierra?

    Personally if I was just swing trading I'd drop your order entry tools and either use Sierra Chart (cheap and very capable) or just use TWS's charting (no cost but less capable) I'd use TWS for order entry and management. You did say swing trading not scalping so why complicate your life?

    why trade forex?

    For bigger pip gains try creating 4 hour charts. Quite a few people seem to like 1 hour but I find 15mins complements 4 hours for fine tuning quite well.

    Vista Service pack fix ?

    Your games will also run better on XP SP3 than on Vista. So unless you've got girlies who like the eye candy you can stick with XP. The only cases anyone seems to have made for Vista are: - microsoft and everyone are going to make you take it - you won't be able to support...

    Vista Service pack fix ?

    Its worth noting that the Vista SP1 doesn't improve performance significantly. On the other hand SP3 for XP gives a 10% improvement over SP2 with multiprocessor (duo) systems. Also that MS are apparently working hard on the replacement for Vista ... maybe it will be called XP+ ...

    another reason IB is the pits

    Yes. IB works well for those of us who want wide access at low price and a reliable fast electronic service. IFF you are competent. To the poster experiencing problems who has never reported them ... perhaps you should. Isn't there are saying about someone who keeps doing the same thing...

    IB datafeed and constant volume bars

    Be aware that just before rollover IB data volumes will shoot up because they include all the rollover blocks. Data vendors apparently exclude blocks that occur in both the new and old contracts but IB just gives you what they see from the exchange.

    Asian Timezone -- Another Tradable?

    LOL filtersweep. No thats not me but I also perceive the opportunities. Re MHI TGM. Yes it is tradable. It is tight to the HSI with small overshoots in certain situations (watch them both and you'll start to see it). You can trade it off the HSI if you want but use limit orders :)...

    Asian Timezone -- Another Tradable?

    All of the markets are tradable and are manipulated to some extent. Personally I don't mind manipulation because its always done with a purpose (to give some people an opportunity for profit) so it can be exploited if you watch for it and understand it when it's there. I often wonder if a pure...
