Mailand will be open on monday again. Yesterday there was no trading in Parmalat at all and the day before yesterday there was only the closing print (at 11 cts). The guys from our foreign exchange desk told me that there might be no trading the next few sessions either. Kev

Anyone who thinks to blame the traders who are "sucking" off of IB's datafeed for the multiple & constant disconnects and/or slow feed needs to think twice. I dont say that this is the case right now, but it soon can become reality. If IB would give out level2 in the same way as they´re...

I dont say that offering quotes is wrong or ppl shouldnt use them. Go, get Quotetracker and leech em! I use IB quotes as backup as well and as long as executions are unaffected - no beef with it. BUT I also do not forget that I get this feed basically for free. AND I do not forget that in...

It´s the truth. Only the truth.

...and get a real quote provider. All those ex-Livecharts+3rdparty-suckers seem to creep up to IB and start sucking there. I can already hear them bitchin about bad fills / delayed reports or whatsoever. Dear Suckers, use your brains and ask yourself why in the world Qcharts´ feed got...

You mean those large, sophisticated traders, who let their cats walk over the 'sell all & everything at the market' - button (as seen on several occasions this year, remember?) and than cant stop whining til they get their trades busted? :cool:

3 years ago, working for a broker, I entered an order to sell 15 million shares of a pennystock @ €0,08 in the wrong symbol. The stock where I entered the order was trading around €0,20. With the indications of the stock going down (went to 0,12-0,16 from 0,19-0,21) and my colleague...

Yes. But when looking at longer term charts, Tick Data isnt that important b/c it gets rounded anyway.

...i´m really looking forward to that! esignal updates are coming faster and faster. good to see that there is a constant flow and output. that´s how it´s got to be. keep up the great work, kev

imo. There are still some really interesting threads, but one´s gotta look more carefully to find em. The development I dislike the most is that great threads get interrupted by dissing, bashing etc....and this happens a lot more than 6 months ago. Kev

Can anyone post the code or tell me where I can find it pls? Regards, Kev

they´re playing monopoly. severaö other european exchanges use the xetra plattform (like suisse virtx) and they´re makin big $$$ with it. just to give you a small look behind the scenes: the deutsche börse introduced the central counterparty (ccp) some months ago, which means that if...

the problem is that you have a different commission schedule from the exchanges than in us. deutsche börse charges anywhere from 0,70 - 21€ or 0,0056% for xetra trades (0,7 € is min, 21 € is cap, this is comparable with ecn fees), thats why you wont get any commission structure like...

..what´s up? is there an end to this never ending story or is this to be continued?!

oh darn, I forgot to mention, that my uncle-in-law definately belongs to the zero-brains group of ppl...just in case that wasnt clear...:D kev

when you tell ppl that you are a daytrader and trade for a living, they wont give you any respect. that is because they have absolutely no clue what it is all about. but then when you show up with some kind of 'status symbol' when anybody else cant because of a recession, they´ll get...

The daily volume on the ES Mini is from the previous day. Thats why it is wrong. You can pull up an intraday chart and set the interval length to 415 (min), then you´ll get the daily realtime volume (you have to set the time template to regular trading hours). Kev

I use the default setting, which is 'Global Server'. I only change this one when I use ASCII data. ------------------------------------------------------

hi, I bought the Prosuite package 3 years ago, worked with it for 1 year and then was about throwing it outta the window. The permant issues I had with screwed data from historybank. com and/or other 3rd party solutions kept fucking me up big time and that was one of the main reasons why I...
