What is the point of using the IB data feed for volume bars? It is only reliable for time based.

DTN.IQ feed. Works very well with MC. Use it for volume/tick based strategies.

Nope. Let me get this straight, said person is up 5900% in 6yrs on $5M start capital? Or was more backing brought in along the way? Regardless, sign up for the next round of Market Wizard interviews while you're at it with that kind of return on large $. But on a serious note, shut up...

Interesting. What is your dj handle? Have any sets up on net? When living in NY, worked under Jimmy Van M for 2-months (summer 00). Sample production and pre-lim mastering. Released two personal tracks into Balance Promote pool with his help. Twilo was the spot back then. Had quite a few fun...

Someone didn't get the TPS report memo. :D Like mentioned above, it's been transferred to the ICE and perhaps will never be same. Was a great CME vehicle.

Take note of "I could not..." Just personal preference. And to re-iterate, I would absolutely never move back to NYC unless it was for important family purposes. Perhaps I would have a different mindset if $ was a dominant issue as it was when younger.

My current and favorite location is Denver after having lived in Boston, NYC, and San Diego. Nothing comes close for me, except the PNW (Vancouver) or S. France (Nice, Provence). Trade futures from 730am-2pm MST. Great schedule w/open afternoons allows for that "hmm, that felt like only a 1/2...

Exactly what "headaches" are you referring to? If Vista, by all means plot away. I hate to be sound like a Microsoft shill, but XP Pro SP2 Corporate Edition is extremely reliable (this coming from an engineer (prev career) who worked exclusively on Solaris/Unix). Have built multiple high powered...

Just a slight amendment, hope you don't mind :) Plenty of effective mechanical systems utilizing readily available code, signals, etc that are manually executed. OP: Like others have said, understanding and being able to manipulate your platform-based code is often a great benefit. Don't be...

rivercode: Who do you plan to execute with?

"The same type of pattern that happened in commodities this summer happened with the dot-coms in 2000," Lansing said. "And according to this pattern, there's a 95% chance it would repeat." - Would be interested in how one quantifies and extracts a precise probability from a chart pattern. Too...

Mis-interpreted your initial post and did not realize your need for entire US equity/US option. $1500/month cap won't cut it for full-bore Nx. Ran us $1800/month for entire US equity and paid only a minimal setup fee (this may have been because we were already DTN.IQ subscribers for several...

That is correct. One of the reasons we chose them is due to our locations (Denver, SoCal, Chicago). I connected to the Omaha server, partner living in Chicago to Chicago server. NY/NJ users would connect to Chicago. They cover entire US equity and options market, as required by OP. One of...

Did you miss the part: "large thumbs"? I spent nearly 3 weeks with an iPhone when it first came out, absolutely could not type fast and accurate after much practice in landscape. My thumbs were too wide & flat shaped, and had to eventually break down and return the phone. From what a local APPL...

For those that frequently type long, fast emails with large thumbs, iPhone definitely hurts in this arena. Qwerty type keypads are a must. Was in similar dilemma earlier this year as OP, but have decided to forgo replacing my BB 8810 World Edition with a newer 3g, and purchase a highly portable...

Forum police are always a curious bunch. A poster going out of his/her way to inaccurately bad mouth IB in various threads, including post(s) that were deleted by a moderator, gets labeled a "dunce." Tragic. Would be interesting to perform a comparative analysis of post count vs forum ego. You...

I would also highly recommend looking into DTN's NxCore (a direct connect with DTN tick plant). Full broadcast, "very" low bandwidth. My partner and I were quite pleased with it last yr when using it to feed a resource-heavy equity n.net for about 7 months. It should be well within your...

You taking a piss? I was simply stating this is a specific backfill problem isolated to Globex data. At least 4 other traders here in Denver are experiencing this but "DID NOT" before mid-sept. Many others on ET are voicing the exact same isolated issue but never had such problems prior. Yes we...

No issues here with Booktrader. TWS Build 886.5 standalone. Java: 1.6.0_07 XP Pro SP2 2GB Ram Q6600

Please don't be a dunce. This backfill problem started occuring mid-Sept after the first major chaos started to hit the markets. Is it not of any importance to you that this issue is isolated to Globex and not other exchanges like ECBOT? Fact of the matter is IB tech support is poorly...
