    Firewalls ?

    I suggest ZoneAlarm, its free for individuals and only $19.95 for business use. http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10105-100-6747047.html Notice on the site it only talks about using it with DSL & Cable connections, thought I would share it also works great with regular Dial-Up.

    Has anyone used InterQuote?

    Try: http://www.nextrend.com/ Only problem is you have to sign up for the $79.95 service for real-time futures (+ exchange fees). Except e-mini's they are real-time on the basic free plan. I'd give the free service a try before you pay up. http://www.nextrend.com/analysis/content/SvcLvls.asp

    Problem with build 969 of JTWS

    Def- I guess this is as good a place as any for this question without having to start a new thread. Why does IB allow us to trade pretty much all the standard size currencies on Globex but not the Japanese Yen (one of if not the most liquid contract)? Thanks Jay
