"upgrade of systems" - ??? excuse my skepticism. Today, there is another TWS update..... surprised? I'm not. Yesterday, when eventually i was able to log on again, the TWS layout was changed from my usual default settings - the rapid order entry and other bits and pieces were all on view and so...

:eek: :eek: :eek: here's a gif of the livechat i had....... doesn't seem to have any save or print option for the session - not surprising really. enjoy... coops

Me too - can't login from Thailand...... to be exact, was logged in, made some trades then TWS disconnected...... can not get back in at moment, after win2k reboot just in case. Had a trade in the market when i got disconnected... i use bracket trader, praise the lord, so my stops are in the...

aha, cannot get euro futures with a equities account (i had equities with eminis for $10 extra)...... need a futures account plus the eurex, plus if you want S&P futures still, need CMe etc etc - ah well..... what are you all using, and do you / can you get Hang Seng Data? coops ps...

good info - i've found IB's symbols ok, and also Esignal's (ET Z2-DT right now, i believe) - but when i try to add Eurex to my Esignal account, it's nowhere to be seen in the account maintenance section (it's in the symbol guide, and it states Eurex is included in the european data available...

yup, just in the beta.... put your cursor anywhere in a chart window, then start typing - a box will appear. For SP's you could type ' ES #F' then in the bottom box, labelled ?? for the time duration, type in ' XX T' replace XX with your choice of number of ticks. Also can type '5 s' for example...

:eek: indeed.... mind you just checked for what the latest release was and found a 1 week later 7.1 Beta release 2 than the one i'm using....maybe i'll stick with it....:confused: oh well. coops

here's the second.... :confused: :confused: :confused:

hmmmm...... checked mine today on a 55tick chart of ES. Here's a couple of the two charts - first one is as prduced from half hour before trading (no refreshes during trading). Second one is after closing esignal completely and closing the turbofeed manager (tried refreshing by clicking on...

Any chance of getting Hong Kong Hang Seng data feed (and Singapore ) ? coops

go to the IB website and go into the discussion forum - API section. There is indeed a simple charting prog there - it works, has one 20SMA and can be 1,3,5 ,....?? not bad.... no backfill obviously. Don't know when Medved QT will get IB integrated.... coops

thanks def, i actually stumbled on that answer in the IB forums...... useful to look at the TWS API sections for useful applications aswell. :) coops

argh................... got the great tip from this board - grab that irritating useless icon strip, drag it away then you can iconize the bastich and forget it about it.... why waste screen space. Great. Now i've upgraded to lthe latest daily flavour of updates and when i tear it off, the...

Thanks pretzel.... :D i quickly got into the habit of always entering my stops in to the TWS after a few connectivity etc etc problems, then entered my limit profit target.. so your program does exactly what i need. ps anyone else, don't forget to turn on (check) the options in your TWS...

I'd use/ change to Win2000 for your trading if you can face it... for home stuff you may as well go with XP - i mean Win98 is fairly bad, Me is slightly less bad, so XP is the only option nowadays i suppose........ to do it - get Partition Magic. The latest version (7?) supports XP. I dual...

I'm an ex QQl user - was the best interface, ie easiest to configure without any help etc, but no futures so changed to esignal before QQL folded up.... the esignal advanced charts are fine, and reasonably intuitive to use - not as good as QQl but hey... Market-do you should try Nextrend if you...

it's working in thailand! :eek: thru the US broker mind.... coops

Do you react randomly to the market? Either to put on a trade or close one? No?..... didn't think so - if you don't react randomly, do you think anyone else does? Just because it may look like it's random, doen't mean it is....people are buying and selling based on each person's judgement -...

I liked QQL, but had to leave just recently due to lack of futures... then they folded, so glad i was looking around. Defected to Esignal, who are good - the new charting is ok (old stuff is hopeless). Quotetracker is also good, but you will not get any multi day intraday data - with prophet...

stumbled onto that thread and ran away............eeeek. I mean, i was trying to trade and couldn't face going thru 8 pages and growing of all that stuff. Did anyone check the guys ISP? Honestly, i thought it was someone taking the piss.... he couldn't be for real could he? Still can't look...
