When I add multiple apps I get an error. Perhaps each app has to communicate on a different port with TWS? The address is 127.0.0.1, should perhaps there be multiple addresses setup?

QT only has 5 days of backfill. I downloaded AmiBroker but for love nor money can I figure out how to connect it to IB.

I am looking for a good charting package that works against IB. Here's what I'm looking for: 1) Able to pull down historical data from IB 2) I don't care about indicators at all, I don't use them. 3) Able to detach multiple charting windows from the main window, no MDI interface where I...

Bingo. This is a really poorly reasoned argument. There are so many factors out of the view of these points. Wars, global trends, etc. The better way to look at this is to measure the current stated policies of both candidates against the current economic situation. Otherwise you expose...

Why one over the other? Latency to ICE greater than to CME? Etc... Thoughts?

How come globex is not listed in my account configuration? If I try to chart an FX future I'll get prices? Thx for your help.

Is that true even when trading large volume lots? I am guessing the more you trade the more slippage you'll get in FX futures, no?

Will the CME floor feed have the quotes/volume for FX futures? Or are there multiple/different CME feeds? InteractiveBrokers has CME Floor Exchange, is that what I want to subscribe to?

Thanks. Summed up nicely.

I guess what I'm not clear about is what constitutes going against you? If you're in a winning trade by only a few points and then suddenly it reverses to take you a negative a few points, when do you get out? How big a loss in ticks on an instrument does the professional trader stop out at...

What are two of the most repeated mantras about great traders? They: 1) Use good money management and don't ride a losing trade all the way down. They cut their losses short. 2) Don't get freaked out by sudden market moves that are opposite of their current position. Uhm, see a...

I just want to say that I got in touch with Robert at ButtonTrader and he was awesome. He let my yahoo.com email go through, explained that it was an old policy and not meant to discriminate against poor fellows without permanent email addresses and then proceeded to give me a demo password...

What kind of stop loss settings do most folks use? Trade for the hour, minute? Not looking for specific strategies, just curious about the generalities.

No yahoo email? 2 days to receive a password? WTH? It's ridiculous. Plus you have to give them your IB account name? I am supposed to go buy another email just to get this thing setup? What gives?

What does that mean read price better?

Well its highly dependent on a platform that is liquid. What I'm getting from KBG guy earlier in the thread is that the FX Futures volumes may be sufficient. If you're asking if there's practical use in the prints from the seemingly iliquid HotSpot FXr, then yeah I agree there doesn't seem to be...

You don't understand how volume can be of any use in determining when to get in or out of a position?

Btw, that screenshot, is that actually sales? Or just volumes on the bid/ask?

And you have the european offering or the US offering?

Would that affect execution speed? Meaning would you then be going against european servers?
