    IB improvements

    Does Def or anyone else know why there are no quotes in the TWS for the ARCA route with QQQ or other listed stocks/ETFs? This was the last I heard from IB tech support, in June. Dear Trader, I also see this. Do not route orders to ARCA at this time, use best execution or another...

    How to switch Servers? QCharts

    The ContinuumClient.ini file is still used. Here is what mine looks like after choosing only Sterling-01: AutoUpdateServerList=false Server=209.202.228.21:23100 (sterling-r01) Make sure AutoUpdate.. is set to false, or QCharts will automatically try to override your choice of server...

    Beginning Day Trader - Where do I start?

    Quik, I think you mean Toni Turner for the second book. About the first one, do you mean Elder's "Trading for a Living", or "Trading in the Zone" or some other book by Mark Douglas? Just trying to clarify. Great advice in your post. -v

    Qcharts & NDX & SPX

    Punter, most data feeds provide quotes for these indexes at 15-second intervals. There is no way to get them faster through a subscription at quote.com. Some providers apparently have something called "fast cash indexes" which update more quickly. The NDX and SPX quotes in the IB TWS are...

    IB available shorts

    Since IB only has shorts on the most popular stocks, you often miss out on opportunities like the recent security/anti-bioterrorism high flyers. IB doesn't have VISG or CPHD, though they do have AVAN. -v

    ES and S&P, NQ and NS relationships

    Here are some threads on futures as leading indicators, which contract leads, etc. I think the consensus is nothing leads by much, but it helps to watch futures to see quick changes in market sentiment. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2458...

    emini Level II

    This is a CME/Marketsound page which contains an applet that shows the top 5 bids/offers for ES, NQ, and the fortune e-50. You can also make your own html page that links to this applet, which might save some space. I'm not sure how these quotes compare to IB market depth...

    A/D Line

    There was a commentary on CNBC today about the uptrend in the NYSE a/d line. The guest said that the computation is being biased by preferred stock, closed-end funds, and other instruments which are interest-sensitive and not representative of the broad equity market. When you take these...

    Best Day Trading Stocks

    Roger, I just looked at these and I think the chart Jens posted is a little off as you suspected. I show the NQ peaking in the 9:55 candle at 1500 and AMAT peaking in the 10:00 candle at 44.15. Also, even this much of a lead for the futures over a stock like AMAT is quite unusual. It...
