I think you're on to something! Thank you for the info on help -> About.... The heap size there is growing. I've actually watched it double up while I was doing *nothing* (purposely leaving it alone). Once I started using it, it doubled up again... and it went over the default max that was...

I am running Windows 10 64-Bit with 64-Bit TWS and Java 8 (latest, just upgraded last night). I believe Java 8 no longer has memory option settings (it's all automatic now). The problem still persists, I tend to need to exit every 2-3 hours depending on what I'm doing. What I have noticed...

So one could state that if one does not wish to use leverage (or it is not a deciding factor), and one has sufficient funds (let's say a 1M account) then there is not much of an advantage of one over the other? Some points I can think of that may or may not influence the choice: 1) Futures can...

I am running Windows 10 64-bit with Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27). Also running the latest (non-beta) TWS Platform as stand-alone. I believe the tweak to specify how much memory to use is no longer an option in Java 8 (its supposed to be more dynamic). I have also...

I've been noticing a serious degradation in stability of the IB TWS Platform over the last month or two. Very often if I try to do any activity that retrieves data (display chain for an option, look at my portfolio, etc.) TWS will start to peg the CPU towards 100% and will remain...

I'm afraid your post does not make much sense... perhaps too dumbed down for me to understand. A better analogy would be if you could show Warren Buffet has time to post here. If he does (or other multi-billionaires who make their money from investment and business) do post here, then your...

Yup, tried that too, but it still shows absolute value rather than % volume. I really just want to see: What was the % gain of SPY over the last year/6months/9months/etc. as a graph. Finance.google.com does it and it's a nice way to compare relative gains.

With 2M Cash you might want to think more about your lifetime goals rather than how to trade it. 1) How much do you *need* as income on a monthly/yearly basis 2) Do you have any large purchases you need in the future (house, education fund for children, etc.) Then you will want to diversify...

Hello, Based on some of your questions, I suspect you might want to do some more reading and studying on what options are and how to trade them. Although you ask keen questions, most of them should be well known before starting actual trading. In fact, several of them should be known before...

The amount you make depends on two simple factors: 1) How much is your capital 2) How much risk are you willing to take If you have a working capital of 1M you would be needing to make ~15% return per year to meet your present salary. If you bump up your capital to 5M you would only need to...

Yes, but that does not show percentage on the axis, only absolute dollar amounts.

TWS Charting lets me see how a symbol's value has changed over time. Is it possible to configure it so that it shows me in percentage gain versus absolute dollar amounts? This makes it easier to compare multiple symbols together. Thank you.

What I was hoping for was more along the lines of: Hey, yes I have a Hololens and I use (insert trading platform here) and it works (greatly/badly). Here's a quick paragraph on my experience and a screenshot! (I was hoping at least one person on this forum had tried it out :))

Has anyone observed whether or not CFA counts towards any regulatory standing (or meeting any requirements for applying for licensing)? Or do I need to dig up specific licensing requirements that may have nothing to do with a CFA qualification? I know about Series 6*/Series 7*, but I do not...

I'm not worried about raising funds. More interested in having qualifications for regulatory reasons (on top of just interested in having it). But for me the sticking point is the requirement of actual work experience, which makes me wonder if its worth going for knowing I might never have...

You could also get a 20 Year visa for Thailand for only 1M THB.

Yes, And this is exactly the point of the thread: Is the HoloLens suitable enough to use for monitor replacement when it comes to the task of using a trading platform where text legibility and resolution are important. So far, despite the cool video above, have yet to see anyone give a clear...

Hello all, I'm seeking some sound advice and helpful suggestions here. First off, I am *NOT* looking to get a job in a bank or prop firm or such. This is not really intended as a career move. Why am I interested in it? Well: 1) I'm interested in the topic itself (I find it genuinely...

For me the benefit today would be a replacement of multiple monitors. Rather than investing in 3 to 6 monitors, could have one laptop with one hololens. Then I could see multiple monitors and TVs at the same time. Plus with portability, could move to another room and still keep a monitor or...

Just a few minor points: Not all options are safe (naked puts or naked calls can be dangerous) If you are growing capital you may wish to avoid highly leveraged trading strategies that can easily wipe out your entire capital. It might be safest to take the bulk of your assets and invest in...
