PAGE/LAYOUT/COLUMNS-ORDER ROW check ALLOCATION. This will place the Allocation column in your TWS. So when you hit bid/ask price, in the Allocation column you can pick the account/accounts you want to trade. If you want to trade more than one account with one click - be careful! The FA...

If the execution of the posted bid/ask size is guaranteed - how can you go wrong? :p

It is a sad thing that we, in the US, have been forced to tolerate wide bid/ask spreads (that's how the system works). E.g. the bid/ask spreads yesterday (YM) were between 4 - 7% wide all day long (March at-the-money). Equity SPX options stay 5 - 10% wide. If you look around overseas, you'll...

trades on the eCBOT, details are here: http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/cont_detail/1,3206,1679+12232,00.html

Excellent liquidity on the new emini Dow options. Bid/ask spreads should be narrower though (average 6 - 9 tics on atm's). Let's hope for the best.:)

Based on what I had heard grains/gold/crude oil etc. are coming later! :D

I saw this on the ButtonTrader board and it is a good idea (if you want to make sure to see if TWS had been down): "First is the "Tip of the Day Window". If you configure this window (to be shown at each startup) each time TWS starts, you will be shown a window with a tip of how to use...

I am not getting any EurexUS data at all - screen has been blank all nite long. The other exchanges are fine. I am not alone and IB knows about the problem - "we are working on it". eSignal (as one of the biggest data providers) still has no idea when they will start providing EurexUS data...

IB's F&F is ( and I am trying to be nice here) terrible. Full of bugs, unable to do the job consistently - and IB knows about the problems. (I am talking about executing trades on several accounts with one click).:mad:

How about checking regularly www.eurexus.com

They are starting this Sunday evening (Feb 8, 2004)

EurexUS starts trading this Sunday evening. Just talked to IB and eSignal and asked if they could provide any info re. EurexUS datafeed - when can we subscribe, fee, etc. In brief: they have no idea!:confused:

You are warned. Be careful: IB's FA platform is buggy doing weird things. If you actually want to trade several accounts with one click - you will be disappointed. IB guys' response: "we are working on the issues" (as always).:mad:

Based on its behaviour I call it the "American Hang Seng". That says it all.:D

The Hang Seng just did it again: a 260 points dive followed by a 230 points run up.

I got a similar blank email too.

Hang Seng: HSI F4-HKF

Yes, eSignal for charting.
