I currently use TWS 936.9 for OS X. There seems to be a problem with the news feed. For some time now, I have no "breaking news" highlighted in red in my filtered news window, despite the fact that I have subscribed to Reuters News and selected "Major Breaking News" in the news configuration...

"If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law." (Winston Churchill) “If you destroy a free market you create a black market.” (Also... Winston Churchill)

Literally laughed my ass off when I played it: THE FEDERATOR ... play "The Ben Bernank" in a video game: http://projects.wsj.com/games/thefederator/?mg=inert-wsj :D

“Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.” ― Thomas Sowell

Wow. :eek:

Backtesting. It was a very profitable and stable parameter set when the Turtles were at top of their game. But those days are long gone.

Bitcoin may be a bubble or not. Bitcoin may survive or not. We simply don't know. However, what's really important here is that now the concept of 'private' and 'crypto' currencies has been introduced to a lot of people who never heard about it before. The thing is out of the box - and...

I actually think there are much worse traders than surf out there. But IMHO it's generally hard to judge someones qualities as a trader from some forum posts...

Both. Desktop for regular use. Laptop for backup and travelling. Hard disk encryption is, of course, mandatory for laptops.

Maybe North Korea...

Hit yourself with a brick in the face every time you close a trade prematurely. Works quite well. :D

You could try to use a seperate charting program and TWS/IB for order entry only. TWS charting is, IMHO quite crappy and slows down the whole platform. If the problem persits, maybe the problem lies with the WiFi and/or Internet connection. I usually get the 'pink lines' once every few...

Playing around a little bit more today... What sucks big time: In 10.6, it was possible to display EOD daily charts of non-subscribed symbols. In 11.5, this is no longer works. All one gets is the message "not entitled" on top of the chart. There are symbols out there for which I don't...

Installed 11.5 yesterday and played around a bit (I were using 10.6 until now) After major disappointment with the first eSignal 11 versions, it seems to be finally ready for prime time. Importing of old 10.6 pages works quite good, of course with some limitations. My existing EFS seem to...

Chuck Norris does not like forex.

True, but the same goes for bad luck. In the end, it's about probability.

Yes - without an edge, the best strategy is to bet only once and go 'all in'. And walk away after that, either as winner or loser. This way, you have a chance. With 'money management', you don't. Why? Because what money management does is to make sure that you can make an indefinite number of...

Without an edge, money management is actually your worst enemy.

BTW: I would talk to IB... if the problem arises more often, customer support will likely already know about it. IB CS is not so bad anymore as it once was...

There may be a hardware problem involved, if that's the case it's best to get rid of the machine and replace it - or repair it, if possible. But no need to switch platforms then. If that's what you meant, fine. However, a comment "like dump the Mac" makes as much sense as "dump Linux" or...
