Daytrading margin for futures applies from 9:30 am till 15:50. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's a standard rule. Jaba

fwiw, I'm using a kvm to share 1 of my 21" monitors between Mac, and PC. What you have to be careful about is the maximum resolution and screen refresh that the kvm supports. If you are running 21" monitor at 1600x1200 the refresh must be at least 75Hz or you will go blind at the end of the day...

hmmm... you might be right, although I checked, and my IP does change during the session. I'm on DSL, not a dialup, if that helps, so the modem is constantly turned on. I'm no expert though. It's pretty interesting... I'll be trying to figure out some more. Jaba

FX-Trader, Tripack, thanks to you guys, at last I have some serious stuff to read :) So, basically, as I understand, the deal is to write a DLL that would contain a function that passes the signal to an app, or do something outside TS, then call that function from within TS. Something like...

This happens to me too, when my ISP changes my IP address - it's dynamic, not static, so every few hours they switch it :(

That last link made me very happy indeed :) Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Jaba

thank you for your reply but that's not exactly what I'm looking for.... the author of this macro decided to use print file function instead of dynamic linking, for whatever reason, then create a macro in excel that would check the file every X seconds, then use excel to send the orders to IB. A...

I second that, it's strictly an entertainment channel, a freak show sometimes. It's really frustrating though when you see the market sell off because of Greenspan's speech in Hawaii, and you have to wait 50 minutes for cnbc staff to let the people know what's up. :confused: Yeah, I know, first...

yeah, I know that thanx a lot...lol :) However I hear left and right that many people accomplished this. I hear you can use DDE in TS, and DLL, I just need an example of how it's done. Does, or does not TS come with a DLL I can use to send the trading signals out to other apps? If yes, I would...

I'm shure and hope somebody will come up with better ideas but, when I was with Datek I used QuoteTracker for charting using Datek's datafeed. Not a totally pro solution, but if you are on a tight budget... News, well, getting them on time is not a problem, you can even get hundreds of them...

Yes, I agree 100%, that was my only reason for asking. I know that you have to usually sign a non-disclosure agreement, or similar. Thanx for posting this. Jaba

Dozu, I'm not shure if you found the answer already, it's been a few days... Anyway, look closer at the VBA code within the TWS Spreadsheet. There you'll find a function that generates an unique id number... it's all in there. I hope this helps Jaba

Did you find that password already?

Maybe somebody will come up with better idea, but when I needed to get a huge amounts of intraday data I simply subscribed to QCharts for a month, it was around $70, and downloaded enough data to fill entire CD :) Hope this helps Jaba

Bill. I'm currently using Investor RT made by linnsoft (www.linnsoft.com). Although it doesn't have the ability of sending indicator's values via DDE directly, you can accomplish it by assigning those indicators to custom Variables that can be linked to Excel, or whatever via DDE. You can...

How do I link Tradestation to Excel via DDE? What's the formula I should use? Usually it is =SERVER|'CSCO'!Last or something like that. What do I put in the SERVER space? Sorry about such a basic question, but the online help couldn't help so... Another thing: is there any other way to link...

I simply can't make it work. I can see the VBA code in the demo spreadsheet, but something is not right when I try to code it into my VB app. OK, I can connect fine, TWS asks me if I want to accept the connection, then I request the data (only 1 ticker for a test) reqMarketData, then ...what...

mjt you at least made it work. I tried it a few weeks ago, nothing showed up on the list during market hours, etc... I sent an email to them asking what the problem was, still waiting for reply. I even thought it was a virus, or a trojan horse... Anyway, no luck here. Jaba

Rotflmfao :) Any Given Sunday, I swear. Have you guys seen this movie? "I got this invisible juice"... :D

I believe that there's no pattern that work all the time. You can't just blindly buy a stock because of a pattern. You need to take into (serious) consideration the overall market conditions. I don't understand how the books can be so carelessly general about the patterns. OK, so we see a bull...
