    New Bug in IB Software

    Now charts aren't updating on my side. I don't know what you guys did to TWS over the last week, but it's pretty seriously hosed. One of my computers was running strong with a standalone version from July, and now the layout keeps getting corrupted. The main window kept freezing on my laptop...

    I added in an extra line in my accounting to account for misc charges. That's 10.00 for data because I'm not active enough, and 5.79 from my forex mess on page 1, which I pulled out of the PnL to Date line. Now the PnL to date will only include system trades. Product Traded: YM Z7...

    First triggered trade in over a week, and it was good for a bit of pocket change. We still haven't seen any strong t-days (except for the fed moonshot) since inception, so although it's showing a small profit, it's really just noise. Product Traded: YM Z7 Contracts: 1 Starting Balance...

    Conversion time for exchange held stops

    Does anyone have any data on the distribution of times required to convert an exchange held stop order to an active market or limit order? I'm specifically interested in eCBOT and Globex. I recently had a case where it took 6 seconds between a trade taking place at the stop price before my...

    Oh how cruel the markets can be. My system thrives on days like today, but instead I learned an important lesson about using limit orders on entry. In short, I didn't get a fill on a day where the simulated results show over a 1k gain per contract. As a trend follower, I know that it is...

    Normally I won't post when the system doesn't trade, but I unsuccessfully tried again today to get the currency positions straightened out. They assure me everything is flat now, but I'm getting kind of unnerved at this point. The account window shows a 7.81 loss, I figure it should have been...

    I originally didn't think I would be available to start until Monday, but I was, so I took the signal. I decided to show the starting account balance so everything is transparent. The small unrealized number is from a foreign currency position I can't seem to get completely rid of. Have a...
