    Stops are still lousy at IB

    No need to apologize for having better software/data than others! :) What level II info I get in QT depends on what provider I choose. I just get the usual stuff, ECN, size, price. And I know how to interpret what I see, and I don't always like what I see. BTW I did not post this topic to...

    Wherefore Art Thou Difficult Trading Conditions?

    Candletrader, Welcome back! Neither did I realize the ongoing trouble with TradeRX. Glad that's been dealt with now.

    Stops are still lousy at IB

    <<If you used the BEST_ECN route it could ONLY fill you at the price of the best ecn at the moment of execution. Quite often, the best ecn ISN'T on the inside and you were likely given the best there was given the routing restrictions that you placed on the order. >> I assume that if I set...

    Stops are still lousy at IB

    Babak, I used Best ECN and got executed at Island. Turok, Getting filled at .39 when the best bid does not get below .42 makes me feel screwed (may I use that word here?) even if it's only for a few cents. And as said, I've had worse examples of this. My irritation concerns...

    Wherefore Art Thou Difficult Trading Conditions?

    Candletrader, I never pay too much attention as to who writes what but still, I believe your postings were always clear, to the point and of educational value. Therefore I fail to understand your decision to leave this board because of a hacker getting onto it. This seems very...

    Stops are still lousy at IB

    I read on this board ( http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=1991 ) that the problem with stops with IB has been solved. Well, it hasn't. My stop was hit and crossed twice. Very narrow spread. Long position, stop at .53. The first time it did not trigger. The second time only...

    It's a cookie controlled thing, make sure you have cookies on (and maybe you also have to be logged in, I'm not quite sure)

    DO STOPS WORK WELL AT IB?

    It has happened to me more than once (several times actually) that (at a sell stop) the ask was hit and passed two or three times, but the stop just did not go off. Had to cancel the stop and get out manually. Stops at IB are definitely very unreliable. If you use stops as your main way of...

    Software beats humans at Commodities trading

    RAY, What you want to do can be done with Tradestation or Metastock. Tradestation is more or less the standard I believe. I don't have any of them myself as they are rather expensive. But if you have a good strategy, they may be worth their money.

    Software beats humans at Commodities trading

    jaan, Can you say what auto-system you use? There are some links on this forum, but I haven't seen anything stunning so far. Still that's what I am looking for, so a link would be very welcome. (Let the others laugh...)

    Adding RAM

    Wirehead, Thanks for the clear info. I won't need ECC then, and try to get the same brand or replace it. Fohat and fast, also thanks. As to Megs, my Dell Dimension handbook says only 100 MHz DIMMs are supported. Are you sure I'll be fine with 133 too?

    Software beats humans at Commodities trading

    That's a dead link, but you probably mean this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/business/newsid_1481000/1481339.stm and/or this: http://www.newscientist.com/hottopics/ai/botsknock.jsp One thing is for sure: if such a thing works, it'll be VERY expensive!

    Anyone have info on dingdingding.com?

    Take a look at these: http://www.newscientist.com/hottopics/ai/botsknock.jsp and http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/business/newsid_1481000/1481339.stm It's still developing, but I wouldn't LOL about it.
