Yes, this this is exactly what exchanges do, when they force brokers like IB to collect exchange fees for them: They get the money twice, which is pretty obvious to everyone. Send email to the exchange and ask for a refund. CME told me, there is no refund. Ok, next step will be a complaint with...

They invented some stuff called CFD to avoid stamp tax. No tax on futures (yet). :D

My TS6 connection status changed while I was typing my post. TS6 disconnection was for 20 minutes. IB TWS was fine & running ...

Would be helpful to know what you want to do: Trade, chart, backtest ? www.fxtrek.com www.tenforex.com

Lost connection 20 minutes ago. Now up again. Did not have any problems before. I use TS6 for quotes, charts and backtest since January 2002 (not for trading).

Now I can see 20 pips (0.9042 / 0.9062) for EUR/USD.

Roundturn 22 $ (plus exchange fees) ? :D

I do not think that it is a great problem, only need to add a third button: ACE Mini-Contracts (free until further notice) ACE All Contracts (30$) ACE Market Depth (60$) Free CBOT Mini-Dow quotes is a promotion to make CBOT Mini-Dow Contracts popular. Free CME E-Mini quotes was a...

Now IB customer service tells me litterally that they can charge whatever they want ! Can´t believe it. Then why not charge 50$ for simple E-Mini quotes instead of 10$ ??? I asked them why I have to pay 30$ exchange fee (CBOT/AVCE), if the exchange does not charge any exchange fee (CBOT...

With TS6 (Tradestation) I now have Charts and Times&Sales, but cannot trade with IB (no quotes). Spread seems to be 2 to 5 points for YM (YMM02) and enough liquidity to trade 1 or 2 contracts. IMHO Volume is increasing fast, this week I saw a lot of trades with size 10 and more. If you use...

Does this mean they use their own servers and use RCG only for clearing ? Why don´t they use RCG´s servers ?

Your funds are kept in base currency (USD). This base currency must be used for deposits and withdrawals. If you trade european stocks then profits will appear in EUR. The IDEAL facility let´s you convert these profits into USD, otherwise you would be unable to withdraw your profits. Well, for...

My connection solid as a rock, might be your ISP. IB TWS software monitors quality of connection and will do login/logout sequence when it thinks that connection is bad. You can see these re-logins in file log.txt in TWS directory. Maybe you ask IB_Help. I guess that connection is better if...

Hi def, I wonder if Globex stop orders have been affected yesterday. Did you read ddefina´s post in thread IB Downtime ?

Valid only for CME/Globex: Now you ran into this stupid problem just with your first trade. We discuss this with Def for weeks. Currently stops are held on IB´s server and work fine - unless IB server gets disconncted from Globex quote stream. IB server needs Globex quote stream to trigger...

At least with IB TWS I never got a fill that did not belong to my account. I am not sure if the same could be said about PATS JTrader when run on overloaded servers.
