    IB and forex

    Is IB known for slippage? I want to know if I am going to continue using IB for forex. It just feels like I got scammed out of 40 pips today.

    Actually it shouldnt have mattered if it was IDEAL or IDEALPRO, right? I still got scammed out of 40 pips.

    $500/day

    I had the exact same thought and I know how hard it is to make $500/day. Ive had consistent $3000/day streaks but then I would lose $3000-$7000 a couple of times and more money would get thrown into my account. Especially, these days you really have to be psychic to be consistent and your...

    day trading futures?

    Are any of you successful with day trading futures these days? Ive been working on ES this past month, but it seems like a casino game where I just bet up or down on each bar. Are there other futures that are liquid and dont have as much of a randomized graph?

    qcharts

    For the past couple of months my qcharts has been lagging about 15-60 seconds, and a lot of times I couldnt even log on to a server. Anybody else having the same problem? Can anybody recommend an interface like qcharts without any of the technical issues?
