    Hi, first post here - searching for trading software

    second vote for Sierra Chart. Good value for the money and very customizable for just about anything you want to do. Combine SC with a free data feed from a broker and you've got a nice setup for very little overhead.

    Ninja and IB for autotrading

    I know that IBController works with the gateway with some slight modification to the startup .bat file. I don't think the gateway has auto-logff though so the only thing you get with using IBController when you use the gateway is auto login. Don't quote me on that because I don't use gateway at...

    It just works well. I wouldn't be trading at IB without IBController period.

    Free backup internet connection if you have an android phone

    The Motorola Droid X with Verizon is good. Have heard good things about the HTC EVO also. I use the X personally. There are always quirks but overall I've been impressed.

    Most disingenuous Fed Chairman?

    What was up with his quivering lip during the whole interview? Dude was so nervous I thought he was going to crack at any minute. Luckily he had the biggest softball interviewer with zero tough questions and he could stick to his script to get through it.

    Transcendental Meditation

    There is a free Kindle 1946 blue edition from Amazon.com... and you don't need a Kindle to read it... there is free software for PC/Mac/iPod/iPad/Android that you can use. I read it once a couple of years ago and am re-reading it again now on Kindle. Great book...

    NinjaTrader 7 Released!

    Ray, congrats on the new version. I have tested NinjaTrader a few years ago but haven't looked at it recently. I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts on having a scaled-down version run on Linux natively without Windows emulators or Virtual Machines? I understand it was built for Windows and...

    2 weeks passed, IB never cares to address "stop loss not stopped" problem

    I have no idea. I've only recently become aware that they are doing this and not giving an option (that I know of) to route Stp Lmt orders to the exchange. I just simply never thought about it because my stops have always been filled at fair prices so there was no problem that I could see with...

    2 weeks passed, IB never cares to address "stop loss not stopped" problem

    I don't know about HKFE but on GLOBEX, Stop Limit orders are native but IB simulates them and holds the order anyway. I still haven't figured out how to make a native Stop Limit order on GLOBEX if anyone figures it out let me know. That may be the source of this problem.

    TWS for Android phones

    The iOS and Android versions are practically identical. There are a couple of features on iOS like Scanners and some kind of market analysis called IB Market Brief. If you use these two features then slight edge to the iOS version, otherwise there is no real difference. Stability is another...

    IB TWS Old Version Available

    This has been an issue for awhile even with versions below 906. I noticed this also and they only solution is to restart TWS. It is annoying I agree. I think it is definitely the remote desktop software that is responsible this and not TWS.

    hedging against aliens?

    You think they think like us? They don't need anything we have. Aliens coming to Earth is like you taking your family to the zoo.

    Boycott of Amazon. Helping the Empire strike back by taking down Wikileaks website.

    Let's play whack the mole! Wikileaks is already back up on another server. Viva la Wikileaks.

    Selecting second broker beside IB

    I recently opened an account with Velocity Futures as a backup to IB. They have everything you mention except XML/CSV based reporting. They mostly deliver statements in PDF files via email which are unable to be imported into anything. They do have an export to Excel feature but it is very crude...

    Transcendental Meditation

    I've been meditating daily for over a year and it has definitely been very helpful to work and life. Meditation is free to learn and easy to begin but hard to master. No guru is required... breath is your guru! It takes dedication and you won't always have time but you should try to practice...
