Many Thanks. I had looked up the Eurex pages but not found this. Happy New Year to you.

Hi, currently (after 17:00 CET) I do no longer receive any data for Bund/Bobl/Schatz via TWS. ESTX50 is ok. Anyone have the same problem?

No, you can send your opening order along with an attached stop loss order with one hotkey-stroke. In TWS select "Configure" -> "Hotkeys" then create or modify a Hotkey. Highlight the hotkey in the "Configured Hotkeys" section and click "Configure". Then go to the "Customize" tab. In...

I can only guess: Are you talking e.g. about the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note (and its brethren)? Then have a look at the corresponding Trading Calendar. They role the last week of the month before expiration month.

Thanks for this info. I did not believe what I saw and thought my data feed to be kaputt.

In BookTrader click "Configure" -> "Hotkeys", select the one you want to change and click "Configure". Then choose tab "Customize" and here you can select the order type of your stop order.

[/b] That's bad politics - I would stay away from them. What do you do when there are problems? If you have not already done so: On their homepage click on "Preise & Vergleiche", scroll down to the bottom; there you will find a "Gebührenrechner" = fee calculator. Select "Vergleich...

Why don't you ask them? Write an email - in English. Usually no problem.

Yes, this could happen. Intraday margins are a decision of the broker and I'm not sure who determines the time of switch to overnight margins but anyway you have to be aware of this time and reduce your positions accordingly. Don't know about other brokers but Interactive Brokers for the...

This depends upon the kind of stops you want to use: only native orders can be held at the exchange, other types have to be simulated by your broker. As far as I know, Globex does not offer a stop market order type; either you use a stop limit or your stop market order has to be simulated...

Either take a look at your Order Ticket, tab "TIF" or use the "configure" menu to configure your order defaults to allow execution outside of RTH.

I feel baffled by the moves in bonds: I had expected them to rise more then they did and the last few days they are dropping. Not the "Flight to quality" I had anticipated to see. So the market sees no "quality" in bonds; and indeed what will be the effect of all the money printed now and the...

Have a look at this thread.

So you submitted an order and did not get a fill and canceled the order? I suggest you compare the order-id of this order and the order-id of the fill report; they have to be identical. If not open a trouble ticket (and do nothing with the position). The order-ids can be found in the audit...

Most likely because you have no Trading Permission for IdealPro: Log in to Account Management, go to "Trading Access" and there you have to configure what Market Data you subscribe to and what Markets you want to trade.

You should include the Maximum Drawdown per trade in you spreadsheet - gives a better picture of the monetary (and psychological) prerequisites needed to trade such a system. In my opinion you should have stopped the system when Lehman filed for bankruptcy (preferably before that). No EOD...

This is the standard number of tickers you can display simultaneously in the TWS. You may switch symbols though. The number depends upon the commissions you generate: for less than 800USD you get 100. For more details see this link
