    Zen, Yoga, Meditation and Trading

    Joab, Meditation isn't about religion. Its about quieting the mind, controlling the mind or gaining awareness of the minds activities. As such it is highly relevant to trading. It can be associated with religions (yoga comes from Hinduism say) but if you looked at the US most...

    IB Unstable Again

    The support can be very good ... it depends (better IMO than United Airlines). If you're saying your using webtrader rather than TWS standalone or browser based I'd be a bit concerned. Definitely 2nd level in terms of IB's platforms. 25% sounds a lot to me but shouldn't be causing...

    IB Unstable Again

    tyler, You need to post the times you have problems here and see if other people have the same problem. There are hundreds of IB traders on this site and if it is an IB problem then you won't be the only one. Having said that I have seem large numbers of similar complaints over the...

    IB new forex spreads

    And an early european morning view. Note that some of these spreads are expanding and contracting as you watch them when individual players fill the gap on the market makers.

    Best broker and trading platform

    Trader07. You don't describe the way in which you trade and the tools you feel are valuable. It might be easier to get answers with some extra information.

    IB TWS pinkout craziness

    Not quite correct. The browser based is the latest one out of beta. But, because it is latest, it will still have post beta issues and bugs to resolve. I also like to run a more mature version (so if 879 is the latest non-beta (880 is beta currently) then 878.x or earlier is my...

    IB midnight reboots (Eastern time)

    Just a note that the lunchtime gap on HSI today was 573 points ... that's close to $3700 per contract lost if you were short. 4 minutes later it reached 882 points or US$5680 if you had held for a quick bounce back (and had to exit then :)).

    IB new forex spreads

    I am not so experienced with the forex (just added it in) that I can be sure of that. But if you can see bid or ask you seem to be able to hit it instantly. If you split the ba then you often have to wait for it to come to you.

    Install TinyXP without ms internet tools or drivers to see how fast and small windows is without. If you do that then you still need to load the drivers for your specific hardware.

    IB and incremental increase in Margins

    No. You're still being the whimp. Still hiding. Still playing from behind mummy's skirts. Pretending to be so clean and quiet ... sound like fuck ... and it is??? Mummy's little boy. I said you had to come out of your closet. Come on. Be brave? No; forget it. Not going to...

    IB - Execution screwup and poor customer service

    1. No broker takes responsibility for technical glitches that cause you to be unable to enter or exit. The docs very explicitly exempt them. On a great day you might get lucky but that's also a day you should look out the window to see the pigs go past. 2. IB doesn't claim great or even...

    IB and incremental increase in Margins

    Well, having been invited back into the conversation I will say: . people who hide behind new nicks are such cowardly whimps. . not angry, I just enjoy pushing a bit of shit at wankers (like you). . makloda is right and you are wrong (but why should you be surprised). The danger to...
