This: http://www.pingplotter.com/download.html may help you locate the problem and give evidence of where the problem is if it is within your ISP's network and you need to deflect lies and fob offs - but you will probably find that the problem is a) caused at the state enterprise gateway...

Suspect the ISP's route everything through ports on their proxy and sniff every packet in the hope of being able to direct requests to a local mirror - also latency from packets backing up as they cue them to fit down constricted bandwidth). All about saving on international bandwidth costs. It...

202.1.7.3:4000 TWS disconnects on packet loss so steady ping or loss of ability to ping does not necessarily correlate with TWS disconnects which are triggered by packet loss. I am in Thailand and have similar issues with disconnects recently. I am uncertain as to whether this is a TWS...

When we are new we just want detailed setups and methods, but how about books that tell you what doesn't work if you are a complete beginner - might save you wasting a lot of time on books and methods written by non trading traders. Winner Takes All by Gallacher and the two Niederhoffer...

Still having problems with markert depth. My patience is wearing very thin with IB.

I've often thought that what makes trading so hard is that we are trying to override our natural flight or fight responses. It's like when you were a kid and a dog chased you and you found yourself up a tree without knowing how you got there - I can find myself with a prematurely closed out...

It's on the original Oil thread - search by my name and you will find it.

2000ms is a long time in HSI. I have had to adapt the way I trade to factor in latency from Thailand to HK (actually 200-300ms despite short distance).

Isn't that where the hedgies locked in their profits with puts while they worked who was the greater fool who would take them out of their positions.

Alternatively, now we can see how much of the buying in oil was purely speculative. If it was really demand related it would have gone up on fears of other actions in e.g Saudi, but it went down most likely because the hedgefunds shifted all their capital into safe haven bonds which went up.

Never connected to long to US server so don't know what I am missing, but for futures with Sierrachart volume and last size is recorded cumulatively by e.g. Sierrachart. HTH

I am reluctant to take isue with someone who is actually on the ground when I am not, but think you must have an exceptional connection (US MNC/Govt office?). I heard from someone who was based in Shanghai that someone trading in his office was driven completely crazy by the internet...

No direct experience but you will probably find that you are forced to use primitive unreliable order entry and can only get basic data. Even HK data feeds and front ends are primitive vs US offerings. Mainland listed shares are just state enterprises dumped on the exchange What would make it...

Word is Hyperserver is working on a backfill version but it will not be a free product.

I am intrigued by the possibility of using this http://www.tradingmachines.net/DownLoad.html to get RT data from a local feed (below) into TS2000i. http://www.trade-vizion.com/Download/Detault_Download.aspx http://www.trade-vizion.com/Product_Service/Free_Trial.aspx From the I...

If IB would think to use a value of -1 for the first print after the server reset that would allow it to be automatically scrubbed out by API (Sierra already does this). As it is, random 1 or 1.00000xx values have to be removed manually.

Best synopsis of MP are by people I suspect of being non traders Chapter in Murphy's book is good and concise as is the first article by the lady editor of Tech Analysis of Stocks and Commodities whatever her name is available from the TASC store for USD5 or thereabouts. There is a...
