The web site gateway seems to route via a NY router near the endpoint. The trading gateway seems to use a chicago router near the endpoint. I'm near Washington DC so I go via Dulles (IAD) and split to the NY or Chicago router from there. One NY router is: cr84.n54ny.ip.att.net [pretty sure...

For semi-technical detail go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping So "ping" time is the round-trip time between your computer and the far end device. As to trading - In my opinion if your trading is intra-day and based on immediately reacting to tick data it might have an effect on your...

You might do better in a new thread. Many QT users are not TD/AMTD users. Jack

Pescador: Is the button in the DOM (ladder) or up above the Quote Panel? Jack

What would be more meaningful would be the commissions produced by the customer responding to the poll versus their update preference. IB has a commercial side which I believe provides TWS as a "white label" platform to some commercial users as well as just providing the trading capability to...

Gianno: The action lab program looks for patterns. Futures contracts have a limited life. For most trading purposes it is somewhere between one and three months. However, the action lab program can search over a longer period of time and in general needs to do so. So you need to tie the old...

They are. The first free version was called Multicharts Discretionary Trader Alpha. Now its called Beta. You can log go through the support forum and see the good and the bad as they progress. They just released the beta version of the regular MC. ( MC 6 >> MC7 beta) It now includes the...

So who would be happy/unhappy if IB were able to give us 15 minute delayed data and simulated trades based on the same delay? The demo account is useless for testing as the data is not real, but I cannot see how a time-delayed simulator account would be bad. If I understood what IB said...

His problem has been solved. When he was troubleshooting he would reboot and type in his Windows login password as soon as the password box appeared. By good fortune he rebooted and was called away for 10 minutes or so. So the machine had a chance to do "something" in the background before he...

1) He uses the 4th for news so it is not essential. 2) I'll post in the Nvidia site. Thanks guys (I assume you are guys). Jack

An acquantance has a problem. He has a 4 core Intel machine with lots of RAM. He was running Win 7 and driving 4 monitors using an Nvidia Quadro NVS 450 with no problem. He allowed his machine to update to Win 7 SP1. Now no matter what he does he can only get his system to recognize 3...

Mary: The trading week is over. How does the folder look? Mine has 51 files and is a tad under 20 megabytes. Jack

Mary: A suggestion - Keep a simple record of the files in the dxxxxx file. Here is an easy way to capture the file names/sizes/dates and have the capability to print info out. - 1) In the Windows "Run" box type "CMD" [enter]. That should open a small command line window (DOS Box)...

Mary: When you open a folder with 335 thousand files in it, Windows has to access the folder, sort the files by name or date (or do whatever it needs to, to show them to your preference), before it displays them. That's the reason for your big delay. I misunderstood what you wrote as...

Mary: The disefxtn folder is your "personal" folder. It contains your setup information, trades by day for the last seven days (the files overwrite day by day), audit trail info, etc. I remember reading that the disefxtn is your IB account number encrypted somehow. My dxxxxxxx folder...

Here is a bit more info for anyone who may have subscribed to this thread: ....... Cisco stated that "Linksys routers being launched this spring will have IPv6 support" and that the "Linksys E4200 router we launched in January will have an [IPv6] firmware upgrade planned for April." If...

Robert: Don't know what Enterprise Win 7 64 bit is but I'm running under Win 7 Professional 64 bit. Here is where things are: Java (1.6_24) is under C:\Program Files\ Java\jre6 IB Controller is under C:\IB Controller TWS is under C:\JTS Desktop shortcut to launch TWS under...

NewbieT: You need to understand or define what you mean by "trading." Search this site for "Pattern Day Trader" (PDT) or do a web search. Once you understand what a PDT is, evaluate what you want\will be able to do. Also, and I'm not really sure, but can you have your own account at 17...

emac: The Discretionary Trader version of Multicharts can only use the indicators that come with it. You can tweak those indicators a bit. However, If you want custom indicators such as the JH set or other roll-your-own indicators you'll have to move to the paid version of MC. But don't...

Take a look at Floor Trader Pivots. I have not looked at the DT version of MC, but the Floor Trader version of pivots is available in regular MC. The free version (DT) has trading features not currently available in MC version 6.0. TS Support, the MC vendor, has been alpha and beta...
