I had heard on CNBC (and saw a small note in the WSJ today) that Europeans were pulling funds out of the US. Don't know if that explains it, though

I agree. I need the P&L to show the current open P&L not the cummulative P&L for the day.

I went through exactly the same decision in january. CyberTrader has decent software, but it's simply too expensive to learn to trade with $15 commisiion. I don't know about you, but I insisted on trading 100 to 200 share lots until I consistiently proved profitable. I recommend switching...

I only found $PREM useful on the very short term, ie one to 5 minute resolution.

Limitdown and BigEd are right. The only way to do what you want to do without registration is to open an "Investment Club" account. Everyone signs the same paperwork, and there are ways to limit who have the ability to execute trades. Using an Investment Club also means that the "poooling of...

Works for me. Thanks !

Does anyone know which IP address TWS communicates with?

I upgraded this morning before I issued any trades. Here are my experience from today ISLD went live immediately NYSE took 1-2 seconds to get accepted, maybe longer. Seemed slower than usual I had TWS 721 hang on me once. No quote updates ... just a "frozen" display. Had to close TWS and...

not very realistic * if you enter on limits, you will get a fill if a trade happens at the limit price. Not always realistic * same for shorts, except that it's much more difficult to short in the first place. * The simulation approximation is better at small lot sizes, ie with maybe...

My executions have been good/fair today: * ISLD went active immediately * NYSE probably took 1 to 2 seconds, which is a bit slower than usual.

For me, the problems is still there

just downloaded. Works great.

I think there are few practical issues: * you can make it into an "investment club". Schwab and others will open Investment Club accounts and it will all be legal * if you want to trade "public" money, I believe that takes registration with the SEC, passing exams etc. Be very careful.

721 is now available through the web trading. Support told me that 721 will be available standalone in "a few days".

I agree with the ES vs SPY comments above. One more thing to consider: 500 SPY's (as one ES equiv) gives you the ability to scale in and out of positions. For certain strategies this is important.

I have to admit that I've never found the futures predictive in any way I systematically could test. Most people don't realize that SP and ND futures are open outcry, and that the quotes therefore are typed in by a clerk, who observes the action in the pit. Also, there is no guarantee that...

Thought I'd report a problem I've been having for the last few weeks: Go to "Your Account" and select "Edit Options". Change "use email notification by default". Select "Submit Modifications" button at the bottom On my system, the browser goes to a blank page and stops. No further...

Any news on when the new 721 release of TWS/4 release will be available for download? I've tried several times over the week-end to no avail.

For some people & trading styles Pro firms are a very good option. For others it's not worth it. Re the PRO firms: you should remember that you effectively are joining an LLC. It's no different than teaming up with other people to found a company (which is something I've done). Founders will...

I don't know. I recommend checking out the web site: http://www.ieeeinsurance.com/ IEEE main site is http://www.ieee.org I suggest that you contact them. I recommended the insurance to a friend of mine, and he found them very accomodating. The main carrier is Cigna PPO. They also...
