Just intersted...how did you calc EUR? With a 1/2-margin of 1418...I get: 125.000/1418 is 88:1

Not true: ButtonTrader has Tick/Trin TickCharts starting from Dec-2003.

And also these are available: Just use the "marketstatistics page"

Oooohh...already a very long time: December-2003 to be exactly.

It is just the same...You do not "talk" in pairs because you are just moving budgets...so in both cases you will have a CAD-budget (- or +) and a JPY-budget (+ or -)...and both budgets (or exposures) will have their own interest-haircuts.

If you are a swing trader you should take BUNDLED fees instead.

easy: Bundled SPI = 5.00 per side Unbundled SPI = 4.89 per side So yes it is better

Yes and then this for the Order-button:

I know traders who did that (leave IB and ButtonTrader) and went for another Broker with TM...But after 6 months the came back... When I asked the reason they told me: "costs and functionality".. Just to show you the other side of the picture.

@Runningbear, Nice spec's.....to build a system like that will take $$$ and years of time... What would be the "ultimate-price" for the users be?

Yes.....just try to request a chart in TWS...for every ticker that gives a chart..there is backfill as well (it is simply one and the same).

Yep seems so.... When you do no overnight-trading (which will kill you in fees by adding $0.10 per night) it is in all cases MUCH better to take the Unbundled fees: ES, ER2, NQ = 2.36 (instead of 2.40) EUR = 2.82 (instead of 3.00) ZN, ZB = 1.72 (instead of 1.73) YM = 2.12 (instead...

I just looked and it was wobbling between 2 and 3. Remember that the actual spread, that we all see, is a "displacement" between the MarketMakers, which are quoting on IDEALPRO. This model gives very narrow spreads to us when the MMs have a "different-view" of the actual spot-price. Say...

Yep of course (we can only dream of real volume like that). The Max levels are not really bothering me. A 5mln trade needs a $100.000 Margin with 50:1 (not many are playing with that). And you can easily enter 2 or more trades of 5mln at the same moment. With more than 20mln at Bid/Ask it...

Great news..It looks that DeutschBank is quoting on IDEALPRO from this day on...they insert 15 Mio at Bid and Ask in EUR/USD (and also all other majors are clearly showing more volume). This has immediately a narrowing effect on the spread, because I can see 1 pip again (from time to time) in...

I can only agree with def. ButtonTrader is offered exclusively to IB-users (so no competition). And both systems TWS and ButtonTrader are used as one environment using features of both systems at the same time as if it were one integrated system. So traders use TWS to trade some Options and...

Well, you can with IB (and TWS), but when you really want to scalp then you might look at ButtonTrader (sorry I'm biased )... just look at the Video-tutorials at our WebSite and you might find what you need.

This will happen with streaming-data vendors...That's why I love IB because they use snapshot-data-feed, which always can follow the market (even when greenspan sneezes it is possible to scalp).

You can use ButtonTrader for this, it has the Touch-logic and additionally a timer to postpone the change in a Market-Order a bit (user defineable timer). There is an example of this in the tutorial-Video's: http://www.buttontrader.com/swf/ButtonTrader_Videos.html

I have to disagree as well. There are more multi threading apps then you think. ButtonTrader is for sure, and I'm practically sure that even TWS from IB is multi threading.
