    Bund Future 05/07/2009

    I don't know what happened, but I guess some people need some vaseline now.... It is a long time that I have seen such a wild market. The top of the spike on the left is on .38

    Bund Future 05/07/2009

    Congrats for your short, hope you made a nice profit. I did not dare take any position, 20-tick counter moves are not my cup of tea. Yes, I had seen this 121.60 level on the daily chart, but never expected such a reaction. About 100.00 contracts traded in 15-minutes blows up any statistic.

    Bund Future 05/07/2009

    Yikes, what is going on here? ECB about to announce an interest rate hike? Did I miss some news? And I thought it would be boring before the ECB meeting....

    Interesting thread, I did not know that I have such expensive books in my book-shelf: - Toby Crabel - Kenneth Shaleen - Linda Raschke. No interest in selling, too much hassle.

    Staggering Data Lags with Investor/RT and DTN - Any and All Help Would Be Appreciated

    I don't know McAfee, but you should be able to deinstall it completely. In any case you should check its settings: does it monitor your charting software? Your web streams? It should not do so. [/b] I'm referring to this statement of your's: [/b] Normally there should be no delay at all. There...

    Staggering Data Lags with Investor/RT and DTN - Any and All Help Would Be Appreciated

    There are some details missing from your description. What kind of internet connection do you use? I assume it is not the problem? What calculations do you perform within your charting software? "Heavyweight" indicators may impose quite a heavy load. Do you use any kind of security...

    Spreading some good news: Germany's 'Scrap' Bonus Fuels Car Sales

    Even the "German-Built" cars consist of up to 60% foreign built and imported parts. The Abwrackprämie is a great succes for the sellers of small, i.e. "cheap" cars. The likes of BMW, Audi and Mercedes don't profit from it because their cars are priced pretty high. It is a success...

    IB TWS anyone has problems with volume data today?

    Can confirm this (e.g. for the Bund), data in the new version 893.4 seem to be at least duplicate the real data. I checked this vs. the Eurex web site. I'll try to revert to the previous version now.

    Build or Buy?

    What is the noise level of these T3400s? I don't need a completely silent PC but since I'm trading from home I would like it pretty silent. In an office it's a different matter. The T3400s are offered with a fanless NVS290 too, can you hear the fan of the FX570? Many Thanks

    IB TWS Login 2/6

    Anyone else having problems logging into TWS this morning? I'm connected to the Swiss server and don't get past the login screen: asks for username and password and that's it. Swiss help desk does not answer the phone (all lines busy..) so I would like to know whether it is my PC or IB...

    ISO a Dell Precision T3400 or another Core 2 Quad

    These prices for the T3400 make me envious. Dell Germany prices for the T3400 start at about 800€, including tax and shipping, after rebate. Add a little this and that and you are paying up to 1000€.

    Futures commission rebates on IB statements

    This was done trading 1 Ticker? If so, the next lower fee (up to 1000 half-turns) should apply after the first 300 half-turns or 150 round-turns.

    I'm no longer sure about "Mike": it might have been "Mark" aka velocity_trader. Redduke should remember this guy.

    UK Scalpers

    There was a trader called "Mike" (sorry, forgot his family name) who traded the FDAX from Texas, getting up in the middle of the night. As far as I remember he used 5 - 6 stocks of the 30 making up the DAX which correlated best with the DAX as indicator: when these started moving he entered...
