How come IB is showing 909.25 for low of day for ES? I see the same 909.25 on Esignal's daily chart for ES. When I go intraday during market hours, I see that ES has never traded remotely below 930.00. Where did the 909.25 come from? Thanks!

Thank you TraDaToR and Bob! Both of you were correct. I figured out the problem. The old number was restored to the tws.xml file everytime I started my TWS. I just unchecked 'Store settings on Server' and it used the current tws.xml file on my machine without restoring my previous saved...

Cable has higher bandwidth DSL has lower latency The problem sounds like your own setup. The problem could be a defective dsl modem, wireless card or router. You can try to see if you can reproduce it on multiple computers so you know if it's computer specific or the router/dsl modem. I...

It was working fast last night. I wonder if everyone reading the news articles had to go try out Cuil and they never expected the amount of load.

I've invested in Superfund Series B before for a year and took a gain. The only concern I see is the 5 year period from 2003 to end of 2007 where anyone would've got 0% return. The bright side is a lot of trend funds have had huge drawdowns during that same period. A good trend fund is a...
