TradeStation Data Outage - Forex data was unavailable from 1700-2233 on Sunday December 3, 2006 No broadcast messages regarding the data outage were sent out. The weekend/overnight desk is under-staffed. Consequently, was not able to contact until European market open because too many...

A lot of software has been going down hill since there are tons more programmers and the quality control is not as tight. But these are data feed problems, where TradeStation executive management is happy to skimp on the data end to the detriment of clients. bali_survivor/Maria, can you...

Here is the latest content from About Us www.fxmarketspace.com ________________________________ FXMarketSpace: An Overview FXMarketSpace is the first centrally-cleared OTC foreign exchange (FX) trading platform. It was formed through a 50/50 joint venture between two FX industry leaders...

RE TradeStation, my understanding is that any strategy that is run to actively trade will keep orders resident on your own systems. So they fail data frequently, which means that trading strategies would suffer commensurately - and this is their entire brokerage business angle. I have traded...

Some NYSE Floor Trading Interrupted By Malfunction (Update4) By Edgar Ortega and Michael Patterson Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Brokers at the New York Stock Exchange turned to pen and paper to complete trades after a problem affecting their hand-held computers interrupted floor trading for more...

Going to have to switch to E-Signal - I can not afford this complete worhtless piece of @#% software anymore.

"Please be aware that we are experiencing an issue where market data may have intermittent delays. We are working to address this issue and will provide more information when it is available." At least they sent a message today. Nevertheless, TradeStation, @%#! you guys.

Steve_IB - thx for your posts, I am very hard on your firm - make that extremely brash & hard, but it really is intended to get things moving = more money for IB by gaining market share. The pace is too slow. Rome was not built in a day, but I don't think many current traders are too eager...

When you are worried about getting the latest neon and pastel polo's so that can pop a collar and drink wine spritzer at the country club this upcoming weekend in CT AND YOUR IPO, these things will take time! Why doesn't IB recruit IT staff at just one of the dozens of MM buckets THAT HAVE...

BTW II - I use this counterparty as a emergency one. They are so far in the box in my opinion, they have very little chance of ever getting out, ever. So much so that there utility of serving as an emergency counterparty is approaching zero.

I distinctly recall that these flash quotes occurred after 2030 ET on Sunday, November 27 - and that is specific as I will get. The offer I am referring to was roughly in line with the market so that should narrow it down enough. Granted quotes for all brokers in GBPUSD that I have access to...

GBPUSD/// Shortly after the open on early Monday Asia market there was a lack of EFX MM participation that flash quoted 1.9150-1.9412 or so several times (offer somewhat in line and no bid). I could not believe what I was seeing but it happened several times. Congrats on the tight markets...

This is something that you must do yourself - know the P/L - Risk/Reward calculations for direct and indirect currency pairs. For example, when you buy JPY vs USD, you are long JPY and short USD at a certain USDJPY exchange rate. If you want to exit that postion at a different exchange...

Best way to avoid having to convert with IDEAL is to adjust your exit position size. For example, if you have P/L in a USDJPY trade, to go absolutely flat your US dollar notional on exit will differ from that of entry. So adjust your last piece of your position on exit to reflect the exact...

IDEAL Pro GBPUSD: 3-4 pip spreads all too common... THAT IS @#$%ING WORTHLESS. WHY NOT 5-7 PIPS WHILE YOU ARE AT IT???? Also, for your rocket quant IT staff: When you are long, P/L should be marked based on the bid. When you are short, P/L should be marked on the offer. IB, @#$%ing...

Another US equity data outage today. No notice or communication from TradeStation unless you call in and que up. @#%! you guys at TradeStation. GET YOUR @#%! TOGETHER... WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO TRADE $1.00 USD NOTIONAL WITH YOU WHEN YOU CAN NOT EVEN PROVIDE YOUR CHARTING SERVICE???

You should ask yourself who comes first, the customer or the broker dealer? I am not associated with a broker dealer. I really want to see more comments from broker dealer loving "customers"... c'mon have you tongued your broker today? Are you a Microsoft employee?

F that - It just shows the incredible arrogance and complete attitude of IB. They don't give a @#% because they are too worried about getting the latest neon and pastel polo's so that can pop a collar and drink wine spritzer at the country club this upcoming weekend in CT. It is amazing to...

Infinitely more, TradeStation...

Also, Pieces of %$#@, please have the balls to use the TradeStation Message Center for what its primary purpose should be. To convey when the system is having technical problems - not to sell tickets to your conferences and "training". "Training"? @#% you guys!
