Kiwi, that is exactly what I have noticed. Also I have noticed high packet loss or delays one hop before IB server. I am not getting funny here but wonder if that is Timberhill who by the nature of their operation would presumably be a lag factor between me and order execution?

Steve, Singapore has some of the best internet infrastructure in the world, better than many parts of US or EUR I would suspect. If TWS is having issues in SG (or AUS) then that just proves my point that TWS is written for too high a spec for the reality of the Internet in many countries...

I think what you will find is that Australasia and highend Internet Asian countries such as HK, SG and KR and JP report no problems whereas those in e.g Thialand, Indonesia, India , China etc where they restrict bandwidth and those who are either a long way from the server e.g. US or are in...

I am having multiple disconnects that is making trading near impossible. As mentioned in another thread my connection is very poor at present but TWS overall is just too sensitive for the reality of the internet. If it was just me and my connection I would say OK, but I see similar issues...

It's somewhere in the middle as TWS is very sensitive to poor internet connections. Somehere around 10-11 oclock* every day I lose my TWS connection (only TWS) and cannot get market depth back. I have a lot of problems with my ISP lately which are perhaps beyond what a platform should be...

I second that. TWS/IB has some good features but too many problems are remaining unfixed. It is difficult to trade without market depth - I understand this affects 20% of clients. Can you either fix it or tell me how I can change to being in the other 80%. You might find that my tailing off...

Multiping, but it's an app not a web page.

Switching from stocks to futures the things I found problems with was the much greater elasticity i.e greater whipsaws at S/R, and the fact that my mind was conditioned to patterns on daily stock charts that are unreliable/gamed in intraday index futures. Going through 50-200 chart views...

The only thing that springs to mind is "Datajunction' but no guarantees it will do what you want - might be worth googling, but can't say more than that.

Jackass button is for putting on shorts (against the trend)

Refco has HSI. USD10k account min and comm ~2x IB with no volume comittment. Can't fault service. Platform is cludgy but stable - not a scalping tool. 24 hour with no shut down and no outage for "testing" while you have a position on. If I could hook Button Trader and Sierra up to them I would...

As it seems that "SOME" users experience data outages and also I gather problems with API/Market depth, perhaps IB can tell us what makes some of us the"SOME" who have these problems as opposed to the others who I assume don't. Answer please. Perhaps IB can also update us on progress with...

Yeah, pretty disgusting cutting off data for "testing" right in the middle of the trading day. Trading can be hard enough without this kind of stupidity.

Shutting the data off in the middle of the trading day for "testing", (but they do of course apologize for any "inconvenience" being without data in a fast moving market like HSI might have caused). About time they did something about these mounting problems. I am seriously beginning to doubt...

They apolagise for any inconvenience their "testing" may have caused. No bulletin warning of second data outage, but what the hell it's only customers money, why should a bunch of IT people care about that. HEY DON'T YOU GET IT YOUR "TESTING" COST PEOPLE MONEY. I could not see what the hell...

Bulletin saying some users will lose data - seems to have been sent after the fact. Lose data then lose for a second time. All charts distorted by bad ticks. Lost market depth with am server reset. HEY IB HOW CAN I GET TO BE ONE OF THE ACCOUNTS THAT IS NOT ONE OF THE "SOME" ACCOUNTS THAT...

ZN is 26 045 bid in TWS

...if you are using IB - anybody else getting this - I have seen this on a few occasions before.

Also agree and by using IB feed you get real realtime data for a fraction of the cost of delayed realtime data from you know who.

Having watched how markets behave around Gann dates there is no doubt in my mind that there is something there - I don't think Gann is widely enough followed for it to be a purely self fulfilling prophecy. If you read Truth of The Stock Tape it is obvious that Gann's knowledge came first hand -...
