Still running with W XP 32 I installed in 2003. No problem upgrading from P4 to Corei7 machine as such a distance between the two architectures it ignored old drivers and installed all new drivers when I changed PC by doing a fersh install as upgrade on old HDD.

The exchanges had it all worked out for themselves to give the impression of security of funds when it is not so - it just looks like it on cursory review. The way it worked was that if an exchange member customer incurred a loss he could not cover the assets of OTHER CUSTOMERS of that clearing...

These might need some non library functions if so get back to me with name. Conway double top Inputs: LookbackBars(20), Strength(4), RangeFactor(0.3), MALength(50); Variables: DTBar(-1), DTLine(-1), AlertString(""); DTBar = AcmeDoubleTop(LookbackBars, Strength...

There is viable code for this in Mark Conway's Professional Stock Trading Book - he is very skilled at translating pattern recognition to code i.e. the essence of what a pattern really is for it to be coded. Another not so good in Pruitts Building Winning trading systems with TS. Try Googling...

They are aware of the issues with the old downloader and have rebuilt from the ground up using standard non proprietary components but you have subscribe to MS 15 to use the new version - otherwise it is the proprietary Datalink downloader. Don't know for sure if there are plans to release the...

That is how I remember it - suddenly started paying interest a few months ago and before not and statement to that effect.

There is talk on the forums of a new Yahoo historical data JSON API that does not require crumb and cookie and links to the code I know Multicharts, Amiquote have fixed historical as have others coding for e.g Matlab. The streaming data never went away but it stops after 10-20 minutes without a...

I need to find what the maximum single day sell off in % was for a number of stocks between middle 2014 to present. Any ideas for a quick/easy way to do this? - inputting symbols one at a time into a web page would be acceptable. SO: Need Software/Website for finding Max percent range of...

I couldn't give a sh*t what you think or your popularity metrics and FYI what's popular on web boards doesn't make money in the markets. FWIW I have seen people post pure gold on here and nobody recognise it as such, but have somebody post the sucker stuff and there is a heated debate. From...

'two young idiot' - not quite, they played the market for fools and if the stock is trading anywhere above zero when they can sell their shares at year end they will walk away laughing as rich men. The losers are the pension plans of ordinary people - the VC's probably go theirs already - all...

I remember it was stated policy that they did not pay interest. i remember reading that with utter disbelief. That said to be fair they were charging a much lower cost of borrow than anywhere else retail and likely the policy was aimed at rewarding those who generated comm for IB with lower...

...as was proved by IB selling its market making arm

MM's can and do bid ahead of you .Its a bit like penny stocks - you only get filled if you are wrong. When humans were making markets I used a tactic of irritating them into filling me so that I would go away and stop messing up their quotes.

There was no 100k minimum before, then the did away with paying interest altogether - I guess competitive pressure with interest rates rising above zero has forced their hand.

They did once, then changed it I think for a time they did not, and have only just started again - I was surprised to see the interest accruing - seemed too good to be true so I checked with IB support to be sure it was a positive balance accruing not a debit (yeah u kinda get that way after a...

You can buy the stock at a discount but if it moves beyond the strike that is your loss, right? Interested to know what all the dynamics are in selling puts to buy stock at a discount.

Hilarious to see supposed smart cookie hedge funds were some of the suckers - Marshall Wace, Landsdowne, Third Point - always promoted (by their own PR Co no doubt) in the media as sharp cookie hedge fuind investors. Bunch of suckers.

Can't make money without their false structural edge and front running 'Flash' and PR select orders. It was just structural/tech edges and front running - forget this Math whizz algo propaganda. Couldn't really trade their way out of a wet paper bag.
