Yes, I get a quote feed and trade the Kospi occasionally. Keep in mind that they are not available for US residents (not approved for trading by CFTC). If that does not apply to you, you may want to contact IB to make sure that they have not flagged you as a US resident (and thus, you cannot...

Agreed! Seriously, hope you learned something from this, why would you ever trade something for which you don't even know the trading hours?!

Is the latest version 1.2.684.1300? Just wondering because I had the impression that there was a new build (currently 11/17/06) but the "Install updated version" option on the Help menu is grayed out.

Every trade I make I am using nothing but hot keys on IB's TWS!?

Using IB data feed and Ensign with QuoteTracker as a backup. Used eSignal for a few years before and liked it but could not justify the cost. No regrets going to Ensign and QuoteTracker. I live in Tokyo and have a full time job but I track and occasionally trade the Kospi and (more often) the...

The Japanese exchanges (Tokyo and Osaka) are closed today since it is a national holiday here in Japan.

I agree and feel that BookTrader is better than a lot of people give it credit for. However, I do have one question that you may be able to answer concerning multiple targets. I see that there are options for multiple targets (up to 3) but the extra buttons seem to be grayed out. I have...

Yes, this is a good starter setup. Technical indicators will normally come with the charting software. The only thing you would be missing is a broker to do trades.

I am sure many will harp in and give very detailed definitions. However, in general, the difference lies in the time you are in trades. Swing trades are usually longer term trades (think in days and possibly weeks) versus "scalping" which usually refers to getting in and out of trades very...

For someone to respond, they may need to know which datafeed you are using?

You can see it also on StockCharts.com ($CPCE).

I just opened K200 for the 1st time since last Friday and also can't get any IB backfill (using Ensign) but other Asian products appear okay. Also shut down this morning for about 30 minutes and get a gap today also so it appears to be an ongoing issue.

Actually, they have some other country restrictions. I had an account with them a long time ago and applied honestly with my Japan address and they forced me to close my account later because of my Japan residence. Noticed that the same restrictions apply to the new EFX Group for forex (can't...

Glad to see that there are more ECNs available for currencies! Just a word of caution for anyone living outside of the US, they are restricted to opening accounts for residents of certain countries (in my case, Japan although I am a US citizen).

Nonam: No, you are not the only one to receive that e-mail. I received the very exact message and it scared the crap out of me since I very rarely make withdrawals and if so, you are supposed to get a token e-mail to confirm. I have sent in a trouble ticket to IB (wanted to call but I am in...

You should have looked at this before making comments. It is NOT another window. Rather, it is added to the main TWS window ("page") just as Alan described (and as you say you wanted). This way, it gives everyone the option of having this information (or more, or less) or not.

Agreed! If you don't need to "create" indicators, etc., I would agree that QuoteTracker is your best bet and you get some of the best support of any software.

jmiles: I am not a full time trader but I noted the same problem before. You might want to consider the use of "stacking" charts on the same workspace. This way, each chart will be "active" and will refresh throughout the day and you can easily "tab" over to a new chart without worrying...

You first!
