Found one bug. When I try to create futures daily chart (IB's YM mini-dow), only regular hours can be choosed, I can't choose 24 hours like other intraday period (like ticks, minutes) All the data outside regular hours are excluded.

However, I do want to keep the price marker, only keep the color fixed. I know it's probably not standard (conforming to TS), but I (and probably others as well) really like to see the a fixed color (for example, white). Other trading software like QuoteTracker or Amibroker uses fixed color...

I downloaded the trial version and found one thing is very, very annoying -- the last price color keeps changing between up, down & wick colors. I don't even know which one to look after. It confuses end users since last price keeps move between other indicators' price, and these indicators...

I have seen Internet users saying they will quit using Yahoo if MS got it. I'm one of them. And what does this mean to Radhat and MySQL? (MySQL now owned by Sun) . Since Yahoo use them if I remember correctly. Will MS replace them with Windows & MS SQL?

spindr0, you are right! Amazon $65 put cost $2.43 & $85 call cost $1.85 at yesterday close. They are pumped before earning. No one trade at 0.75 & the other trade at 0.55! So the combo shrink to (0.75+0.55)/(1.85+2.43) = 1.3/4.28 = 30% If I trade this, I would have lost 70%! It's...

So if the stock don't move at all, the premium for both side will contract, maybe by a large margin and I'll lose. Guys, thanks for all the inputs and directions. Need to learn more here.

I'm new to options. I'm wondering how many people using neutral strategy on a stock's earning day by buying out of money options on both upside & downside? And how successful you are? Take VMware yesterday's earning report for example. VMware close at $83. Out of money options $100...

So has the market priced in the stimulus package along with rate cut?

Got it, thank you all.

I'm new to options. I noticed that there is no bid/ask after hours for Apple today, is it that there is no options trading after hours in general? Or because Apple is going to have earning today so they halted the options trading after hours?

Thanks for the opinions. I think I'll align the timing.

There are users always think merger is good just because the origional company/organization sucks. What they don't know is new company/organization sucks even more. And history told us again & again, customers always lose. Since you have no choice. Monoply is never a good thing. It...

It's called monopoly. I'm the one who against ther merger between CME & CBOT. I just don't understand why so many people think it's a positive move.

Hi, I've got a question. Which might affect the trading performance, either real or paper. Since YM open at 7:15, then the 10 minutes bar falls on 0:05, 0:15, 0:25, 0:35, 0:45, 0:55, which is different with DOW30 index, whose index falls on 0:00, 0:10, 0:20, 0:30, 0:40, 0:50. Should I...

Installed eclipse, TrueTrade client source and MySQL. Compiled OK and will run. However, I was not able to download most IB history data, only current day's history is downloadable. And what's IB's futures symbol format in TrueTrade?

Is rate cut alone able to offset the high oil price, good inflation & housing markets? Why no one talk about it now? Most people's pocket is shrinking and I wonder whether the bullish run is real. Anyone can tell?

But the YM futures should at least has some kind of relationship with dow30 index, isn't it? And what is ags?

The NYSE dow30 index is not updating either on NYSE's website. Could be NYSE's problem causing this.

I wonder whether the system is running on Windows 2003 servers.

I wonder why no one mentioning the high oil price will definitely hurt the economy.
