I forgot to mention this is cnbc UK audio web cast.But during US pre open/Open /close,they run the us feed. I'll post the free web link later this week end(it is in the other pc) my local tv runs local stuff all the time & US feed comes after 12.30Am but with too many local advts.It is of no...

I agree with you that Iam penny wise & pound foolish.Sure computers are not as cheap like in the US where you get a nice machine with 17"LCD for even $300. Since Iam always going in between the bid/ask & some times grab the small size offer/bid(not offered by market maker) faster broad band+ a...

I have to agree with you that IB charts is not fast enough to place/amend orders,searching for symbols etc. with TWS trade /data window (2/3 pages)opened in the back ground, MedVed QT blasting 5-10 charts is a better choice compared to IB charts since you can not run 2 API in the same pc...

Hi I use IB for quite some time. Using Medved QT as a main charting software. Two pcs running QT with quotes from IB &OptionsXpress repectively. I have placed orders thto QT in OXPS a/c not IB yet. recently installed IB charts & opened it,surprised it asked me to sign in to TWS...

I have been trading US markets while residing in Hong kong,Singapore,India etc Singapore/HK no tax on capital gains. India -a lot. But I will be curious whether IB or any us broker/IRS does send info to the home country tax man?(address on record at the brokerage a/c) I follow a strict pay...

Better response than I hoped! Suggestion of nationalising all oils will solve the problem of $300 million pay packets to CEO's.OIL is just a essential commodity .we dont need fancy ceos or too much competion!! I was giving ideas of radical curbing of consumption quoting Singapore etc! But you...

Thom glad you found range charts useful in YM.what range are you using 10/12 (usual stop loss noise) posting a es chart .play with range keeping a 2 day range till colour & shape is not too big/small so that you can catch a bigger move.

I would like to try out Ami with IB simulation & then live.I trade with IB already. Are you trading emini? Can a CCI signal based auto traing can be done with ami at IB demo? what is your current auto style?

I might think aloud of a radical suggestion (Eutopia)& I am going to be hanged sure by most of you.This idea is implemented some what in small city states like singapore(not exactly democracies) 1.All 4 wheelers above 1100cc will be charged $5000 first time registration charge 2.All...

frostengine you are right about your trading software being tested in IB demo. I use IB extensively.I Trade emini in 1 lot size only but trade options in SPY,IWM,DIA in larger size.I also trade options in heavy weight counters like QCOM,AAPL,OIH. I dont use 3,5,15 min charts.I use only...

frostengine Iam not technically as savvy as you are. I would not mind an automated system to trade emini say 1 YM contract mechanically based only one indicator "CCI" say on 2 day range chart with each YM bar 10 points under Medved system using IB. stoploss & profit taking strictly based...

Thanks sim for the Oanda caculator.I was always allergic to all the ineternet only forex brokers etall! Even though I may not rush to open a/c with Oanda right now for other reasons,I have to admit they do possess state of the art platform in forex. I can never get such clear $ figure...

attaching a chart which shows the past 2 days of consolidation of the break out. Unless one has a bigger stop loss than 6-8 ticks ,you can see it was choppping everyone on the way up & down. Yours truly tried to pick top on Friday 3 pm by buying SEP DJX & SPX puts.Since friday closed at the...

2 day chart showing still testing both lows & highs since the break out last week. we are in chop city.might continue chopping us till any solid economic data pushes eiether way. Run for 1320 or back test to 1280? No prediction & play it close.

amni23 I see Steve from IB has posted a reply. But There are no absolute guarantees in life. When you say Spot forex,Refco comes to memeory. Since Iam more of a index/option player & less of a forex player, (that too only IME future contracts during US hours strict day trade.IME options on...

Oddtrader Since I have closed my leveraged forex a/c with the big banks at Singapore 12-15 months ago,I dont know the current situation. But to my knowledge there is no API functionality in the bank platforms. I dont know whether you are also concerned about your funds safety etc.Same...

4re Options were screwed up yesterday as the big players wanted to close the index where they wanted for expiring Aug options depending upon their books. We are minnows looking for a scrap. In fact I specialise (in loosing !?) in expiring options.The last option week (add previous week...

TT1452 You can check in QT- different chart types.Choose range chart ,choose period 1 day+10/20 bar,range 5=10 depending upon your stop loss pain threshhold,play with colors as you like,keep only HMA 15-17 & ema 34 (remove even LSMA).I use woodie chop indicator too.why dont you post your...

If you just want security of funds (let us say 100k-300K) & you want to play forex seriously,consider IB .Many forex guys will say Oanda is better than IB. Like you, Security of funds is the major issue for me too!with that in mind-like an idiot I was having a/c with big banks in Singapore/Hong...

OK For all those Indian guys/out siders who simply can not believe the volatality of Indian markets-here is some info. Indian indices (not to mention front line index stocks) jump daily up down 1.5 to 3.5% on an average.That is like Dow daily doing 150-300 point swing. If you trade indivual...
