What type of trading are you doing? It matters in order to determine how to report your gains/losses. r.

Ok, so you don't have real-time data with IB. Not sure who sucks here... You get for what you pay I guess. I wish you good luck then.

LMFAO...:D:D:D

Why do you say that their paper trading platform sucks? I'm asking because I'm using them every day and I have a different opinion than yours.

You're done with shorting penny stocks with your hundreds of thousands of dollars account? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/question-about-penny-stocks-shorting-weird-issue-regarding-margin.319894/

I don't know how can you continue to do scalping with 3-4 secs response time without losing money. And VA to CA to IL, and back, that ain't sum-up to 3-4 secs. Can't help you more cause we still don't know much about your setup.

I agree with you Rob. 4 seconds is an eternity in our world. If an order is immediately executable, it should take way less. Today, exchanges are expressing their response time in microseconds. My point is, if a trader is keeping his position 2-3 days on average, how a difference of 3-4 seconds...

Slowness can come from different places. Not just from the ISP or the exchange. If we look closely at this: Order is sent from client (A) using ISP (B) to a broker (C) to an exchange (D). The fill is sent back from the exchange (D) to the broker (C) to the client (A) using ISP (B). Each hop is...

I'm averaging 500 ms round-trip with IB, when I hit the bid or lift the offer (CME/e-mini). And it's pretty much stable. I'm located in Canada on the east coast. I'm using IB Gateway, not TWS. The question is, would you benefit from a faster respond time? 3-4 secs is not that bad if you get...

Why do you want to compete with someone? Trading is not trying to finish ahead of your opponents. Your opponent is the market, not the other market participants. It's not a matter of being the faster, or the smarter, or the best. The olympics are for that type of people. The markets are like...

I love you too Soes!

Ah ok. You're making money in your head. Good for you. Keep going your nice work.

It opened at 165.90. Unless you're satirical...

I heard they closed a couple of weeks ago.

What's your precise goal?

Hummm... this is a very crowded space. That would be a good idea if we were 25 years ago, but in 2018! I wish you good luck.

What do you mean by a "trading platform" ? It could means more than one thing, depending of who you talk to.

I remember when I was programming TA stuff on a TI 99 with an external cassette-tape to save my code. My friend's tv was acting as the monitor. Soooo many years ago...

It's not the fact that IQFeed is sending invalid data that would need to be 'cleaned'. It's because all trades are included in their feed ('out-of-sequence' as well). They do provide a flag indicating the type of trade (like 'out-of-sequence'), but they're sending it only in their live feed and...

So you fu**ed up and you are trying to put the blame on your broker!!! IMO, you should try to learn from this. You would have never sustained the losses if you would have done it right from the beginning, nothing to do with your broker. Sorry, I didn't want to be rude, but that was my first...
