    can't login IB TWS

    Yeah pal. You are right. IB only has 1 server that serves everyone. I'm done with this thread!

    can't login IB TWS

    Geez...How about IB is down and EVERYTHING else that I have is up and running with a solid connection to the internet. eSignal / Neoticker data feed, email, internet browser, etc.

    can't login IB TWS

    There were frequent IB disconnects and downtime over an extended period of time. Granted some of those were attributed to my ISP but there were issues with IB ... you and others are seeing this with your experiences as well. In the end i decided to add a backup ISP and broker. These were...

    can't login IB TWS

    I reviewed the pros/cons of about 6 dual wan routers. For me, I thought the Peplink was the most feature rich, has regular driver updates, local US distribution/support and responsive tech support via email. So far I have been very pleased.

    can't login IB TWS

    I have experienced similar frustrations and did a couple of things that you should consider. To eliminate the "its your isp and not us", I added another isp. I have 2 broadband connections (Cox & Sprint) and a dual wan router from Peplink. The cost was trivial compared to lost opportunities...

    Tradestation vs. Open E Cry for Futures

    I selected Open E Cry as one of my brokers. IB is my other. Excellent customer service, commission rates and free order entry platform, charting and real time streaming with historical backfill. I use Neoticker with their free data feed and OEC Trader for my order entry. Their charting...

    Avail Trading Corp.

    They are a solid firm with a good reputation in the business. Everything I have heard about Avail has been good. Call and speak with Dave M. directly to get some background on their firm.

    Avail Trading Corp.

    For futures, they are an introducing broker for Open E Cry. Unless you plan on trading forex you should consider OEC.

    Esignal incompatible with Vista?

    Neoticker is compatiable with Vista. With eSignal you should try to enable Vista's Win XP SP2 compatiablity mode. Right click esignal icon, click on compatibility tab, select run this program in compatibility mode (XP SP2) and select run this program as administrator.

    Practicality of Fibonacci Retracements

    What is significant in this case is that it hit the .786 retracement from the low yesterday and sold off hard. Of course there is other line work that identifies this area having significant resistance. It should be an interesting overnight session and opening tomorrow.

    IB waaay behind on tech support?

    I vote by taking my business elsewhere. I have already complained enough to this company via multiple channels. I agree strongly with your perspective but can not just wait for things to get better. My bad experiences with their platform started last year and now it is March 2007.

    IB waaay behind on tech support?

    I my opinion, IB has lost sight of what is important to their customers; a reliable and solid trading front end with the best in customer service. From time to time I continue to have issues with their data feed, market orders that do not fill or just hang, and disconnects/re-connects with...

    Ensign: Comments Please...

    I have not worked with the scan feature. Was it the pattern recognition scanner or some other function that did not work? For me, no problems with the number of active symbols. I have a dedicated 6 monitor setup for neoticker with numerous open chart windows and active quote lists. I use...

    Ensign: Comments Please...

    Yes, I agree that neoticker can be frustrating for some users. I was fortunate to have installation and troubleshooting procedures from a very knowledgeable neoticker user. For example, I was aware of the delete cache procedure that fixed your issue. Technical support is good but...

    Ensign: Comments Please...

    Well that is nonsense. I had no problems whatsoever but I will say that it takes some effort to properly install and configure. Once you get over the learning curve it is a rock solid application. What exactly did not work as advertised?

    Ensign: Comments Please...

    I gave ensign the normal 30 day review during an period I was considering esignal, ensign, qcharts & neoticker. Ensign had some strong charting features that I liked. I did not like having to refresh the charts from the data feed and prefer some type of local caching feature to mimize the...

    Tradestation, Brokerage, Automated Trading

    I tried it for 3 mos about 2 years ago. Too many bugs and poor support from the developer. I switched to Buttontrader. Probably the best trading front end and the best technical support. The only negative is that it only works with IB. You get what you pay for.

    Michael J. Siegel - WorldsPerfectBusiness

    He seems a bit overpriced and somewhat hyped. I have worked with a couple of mentors over the years and the best one I have found is Jim Kane. His complete book set with 4hrs of telephone support is under $1,000.....not $3,500. http://www.kanetrading.com/books/books.html
