BTW they could solve this in a very simple way. Just give the customer the option to login with .1 to .10 behind the username (10 subaccounts possible in this example). When logging in with .N (N from 1 to 10) a new instance of TWS shoud open (i.e. clean when not used before). When you...

Another thing which i find missing in TWS is mentioned in this topic: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177695 Generic parent-child orders seem to be impossible. Note that TWS is so flexible that often you can find a work-around for these kind of things.

So you want to create subaccounts. They should offer this, becuase it would be quite usefull. But 99,9% sure this is currently not possible.

I don't understand why you can't just attach a child order to any order in TWS. Currently you can only attach some auto stop or bracket order to an existing order. After you have done that, the "key field" indicates that the orders are related. I would expect that, when inserting a random...

I'm also struggling with this... Why can't you just manual attach a child to an order in TWS? I mean: you can attach an auto stop or a bracket order (and eventually manipulate the created order afterwards), but this doesn't work for a different asset (i.e. you can not attach a stock child...

Good article, but strange that Intel is not mentioned once. I would say they are as big in R&D as IBM.

They will not charge you at all for a new passcode card.

Yeah, they only issue for 2 billion dollar. Totally negligible indeed...

Looks very good. I will give it a try.

I did some testing with ChartTrader and it works quite nice. I think they recently made some improvements.

Google: etf future rollover http://www.lyxoretf.com.sg/admins/files/lyxoretf/sg/files/332.pdf The index uses a four day rollover schedule for each commodity beginning on the first business day of the month and ending on the fourth business day. All liquid calendar months for every...

Yes, because USO uses spot (front month) contracts, not forward. But as they have to roll over the futures, in a contango market this is expected to cost money, which should be reflected (negatively) in the (future) share price. To say it in other words: when the price of spot oil will rise...

Energy forward markets haven't been beaten down that much. So it doesn't work for energy.

Hi, Does someone know where I can find the historic (say for the last 5 to 10 years) US regular trading days and hours? When the only thing would be real holidays it would be possible to filter based on these days and the weekends but what I also sometimes notice is that there are days...

With tick I mean minumum price movement of course.

You can try these kind of things by using the Demo or the Paper Trader. Moreover, it can be found on the website: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/exchanges.php?exch=ibfxpro&showcategories=FX&ib_entity=llc

The minimum is 0. The only 2 side effects of a low netliq are (i) higher monthly activity fee ($20) below $2000 and (ii) market data is automatically turned of below $500.

No, tick value of the FDAX is 12.50 euro. This implies that you have less slippage on this contract compared to YM (and other US futures) when markets are tight (because $ value of FDAX is much higher).
