travis - what version of TWS is that from? is your base currency USD or GBP? I would be somewhat concerned with that if your base is in USD because that FX position is almost 3x more than your total cash in USD.

I haven't found Bull and Bears yet but I did find this blast from the past... Bulls, Bears and Whales!! http://www.myspace.com/video/362013032/bulls-bears-and-whales/35430438

I'm also noticing that there is differences with the Realized PnL numbers between trader dashboard, account window and the row total. I currently have three different numbers for Realized PnL - Account Window, Trader Dashboard and Row Total all report different numbers!! I'll make a deal with...

I've been testing 911.3 and am bothered by the P/L issues mentioned above. The decimal place being left off is not a huge deal but makes no sense and should not have been changed by default in the first place. More troubling is that the P/L numbers differ when being viewed from the Trader...

Ah, but I didn't tell you what Plan B was! Hint, it involves another brokerage account. IB will be relegated to backup status until this version mess is sorted out. I have looked at the later versions and do not like what I am seeing so far and I don't have time to test enough between now and...

buyirishnow = marketsurfer = Dave Goodboy got to hand it to you surf, ever the spammer. How many aliases do you have now??

Ah, ok thanks. I'm running 905 but didn't get this message. Oh well, I guess Plan B. I was getting hopeful for a minute when they said 905 was still being supported. :(

Where did you see this at by the way? IB Customer service is saying versions 903.7 and below are being cutoff on November 30th. Is this something new that has come out recently via email because the rep I talked to was not aware of it affecting versions above 903.7.

I think we can all agree that Lenny is a terrible investor, no matter if it is in real estate, magazines or deep ITM options :).

No, I mean using an API or FIX gateway and doing all of the order management on a client that you have full control over. Even better, other brokers offer access via FIX gateway that often gives you cheaper commissions than using the broker's end-client software. Obviously there are some...

I agree and I do this too but what I was saying is that once IB drops support for a version you must upgrade to a newer build of TWS regardless. My point was that you cannot run an old version indefinitely as long as IB continues to enforce these mandatory upgrades. Dropping support in December...

This might be the point that I ditch TWS altogether and just trade with the gateway. I don't think I want to upgrade TWS past 905 and if IB is seriously going to cut-off supporting a version from May 2010 in December this just seems to be getting way out of hand with these forced upgrades. This...

This is not true you just haven't been using an old enough version once they cut off support for it. I have and it does result in a forced upgrade. This has happened several times over the last year and is just about to happen again. If you are using an old version that they no longer support it...

This is not the first time of a significant outage at OEC. I used them for awhile as a backup broker and they had major problems after a forced software upgrade a little more than a year ago. Brief outages are expected but major problems that result in days of trouble are not and are usually...

He didn't buy it outright for 700K there are mortgages on it as well as back taxes and missed payments to the tune of 12-13 million. The house has had a recent market listing of around 9.9 million...

I haven't been there in several years but it is a pretty sleepy little island. I hope you don't get bored easily. I was there for about 6 weeks last time and I did but hey the scuba diving and beaches are great at least and it is a very clean island with very little (no) unemployment. Get ready...

Bob, Yes, you can use it for more than one TWS at the same time. What you do is create separate directories for each instance of IBController you want to run and enter your login information in the .INI file under each respective directory.

It still looks like a Motel 6.

oh my, I just realized they are all taking a shit on that beach. I will never *ever* complain about where I live again.
