I jez keep tellin' 'em - Buy Those Dips! ...but don't forget to sell. Hint: you should have sold already. Good trading to all! :cool:

Speaking of quotes, IB could save on a chunk of bandwidth (IMHO) if they had a "snapshot" quote feature. After the open I rarely need streaming quotes for my autotrade API. I just need to grab quotes every few minutes, but I may need up to a thousand or so symbols. No way to do that cleanly...

Spammin' Sammy? Say it ain't so???!!!! Sam, ES, et al, any way we can start up a similar thread - minus the spam? It was very interesting learning about that stuff and 'Savant's trials/tribulations. Sure, it's all a ponzi scam, but it was one of the more interesting ET threads... :(

It is damn near trivial to build an automated trading system that will connect to IB's API, safely make trades, and is profitable. Or at least, it is after you've done one and have lots of experience in the market...

They don't want you to know about it!

Yeah that Kobe... Really likes to take it to the HOLE! :p

I was thinking the same thing. What a mess... They must have had the same guy as the one at CNBC do the site changes!

When you get out, I think you should get a few friends together and start your own MM operation over at the AMEX. You'd fit right in!!! :p

It certainly seems like an outmoded ridiculous restriction nowadays. Especially with "smart"-type routing to different exchanges available. Anybody have any experiences/comments about electronic option order restrictions, like the CBOE's? It's easy enough to get around, but it would be nice...

lol

What this will mean for you, I don't know. IB pops up windows and limits trade speed (pacing violations) when you try to API op orders. It's a pain... CBOE Regulatory Circular 00-139: SEC Approval of Prohibition Against Electronically Generated Orders Date: September 15, 2000...

Unstable? Maybe. But to start as a bucket shop runner then make millions trading back in a time when $10K was a fortune, means that JL was an incredibly intuitive and ballsy trader. He just didn't know when to stop. Much like modern types like Zander and possibly Niederhoffer. There is...

Did you ever sell all of those "original" PTJ tapes? Heh. Juz kiddin' Surfy! :p

What is amazing is how much of the book IS applicable to today's markets and trading, seeing that the events in it are from about 80-90 years ago. Good trading to all. C

RB? Haven't been there in 5 years. It used to be popular tho and a fun enough place to talk trading. What are you hearing?

Yeah, seems like you are mostly Flat and Out of the market this year! Just kidding. Good luck in your trading! :cool: C
