I had a quick look at eclipse trader. If any of the following comments are misleading, I apologise in advance. Overall it looks promising, but there is still a long way to go. The UI is quite nice, but it seems to be a kind of MDI arrangement. (I don't know anything about SWT so the...

IMHO one of the biggest impediments to open source trading platform on UNIX type systems (linux, Solaris, BSD etc) is the lack of available real time data feed. Interactive Brokers have been exemplary in supporting TWS on Linux, MAC etc, but the feed is still too limited eg 100 symbols (++...

OK, a couple of other ideas. 1. You can change the default look and feel for java on the command line. Make it something other than gtk and you might be able to get started. 2. Run under strace. Do a man strace for more info. Towards the end of the output you should be able to find the...

I haven't tried AMD 64 Linux yet, so I'm just shooting in the dark, but here's a couple of ideas - Are you running 32 bit or 64 bit jvm ? If 32 bit then even though gnome/gtk 64 bit libs may be installed, 32 bit may not be or they are not being loaded. And visa versa. Try locating all gtk...

Yes, I think jfreechart is probably the pick of the bunch. It is capable of producing some very nice looking charts and there are many, many options. However, it is not suitable in it's standard form for real time charts. It's author freely admits this and it is not a design goal of the...

I'm not suggesting QT volume doesn't work with IB feed. Every time I've tried QT, volume was fine.

If you're using the IB simulator (demo) I think that cumulative volume never works.

I use my own home grown charts that use cumulative volume from IB on the DAX, and there's been no problem today.

Cost of living in Sydney is certainly less than London. Renting a two bedroom flat will set you back a minimum of about AUD 350 per week in nice (ie close to harbour or beaches) areas. More for a good one. In general rents in Australia are reasonable. Probably due to so called 'negative...

It may be stating the obvious, but TWS almost certainly uses the swing JTable class for it's 'spreadsheet'. It's actually quite easy to use. So if you're willing to use Java ..... I know nothing about .NET, but I must say I find it a little surprising that this is a problem. Java has to do...

No idea what's going on, but IB/Verisign surely should have identified the problem by now and advised IB customers. I'm definitely NOT an IB basher, but this is surely an urgent issue.

It appears that it's not the IB X.509 certificate thats expired, but the Versign certificate that used to sign it. If that's the case, it's Verisign's fault. I've emailed IB, but no reply yet.

Hi Nononsense I've never used Kylix (or Delphi either) so I can't comment. There is a discussion today on http://slashdot.org about Kylix. Apparently there hasn't been a new release since 2002 and there are no announcements about any new release, so caution may be advisable. If you want a full...

InteractiveBrokers TWS runs flawlessly with Sun 1.4.2_02 JVM. I think the IBM JVM is also OK for this. If one was considering using the TWS Java API, then Linux would be a very good platform. I've managed to get Medved QuoteTracker working mostly OK with Wine on Red Hat 9. JavaCharts from...
