As a programming nerd and beginnner I would set up the buy formula for each potential underlying separately within the portfolio. The Buy/Sell condition I would code via the "Foreign" function. Not truly elegant, but I`m only a nerd and programming dummy. Regards Hittfeld

Reading this thread it came to my mind, that some well mannered chevy drivers try to really evaluate a Porsche (or Lambo...) under serious autobahn conditions - not to speak of track. Why don`t you just get some copies of TASC and check and compare the codes there (every month a system or...

This should be it: http://aflwriting.com/index.htm Regards

GFTUK, mfdirect or IGmarkets. If you only want to trade indices forex and some commodities, rbs-marketindex is your best bet. CFDs plus forex, commodities, stocks and futures through saxobank. Finally CMC-markets, though with questionable server problems. But cfds are only for NRA - no US / IRS...

For one of my fund switching strategies I trade only once per week (mondays) a few select SSFs of ishares etfs through IB long side only. To check the viability of trading SSFs, I did and still do divide my trading amount for each underlying in two parts: One to go via SSFs, the second for...

I don`t know if IB could reimplement this feature - even if they wanted to: IB is subject to at least 3 fiscal jurisdictions (US, UK, CH) and a plethora of regulating bodies due to the sheer number of markets and instruments that are served by a single account (actually 1 universal account is...

Thats exactly how it worked til about 8 years ago. I had opened 2 accnts for this very reason. Just to limit my risk (due to holding overnites). Unconnected accounts, margin calculated for each separately. Unfortunately this feature was cancelled, when they moved part of their administration...

And those 6 currency micro contracts M6x with margin requirements between 270 and 450 USD intraday and overnite. Hittfeld

And Amibroker???? You just left it out, because its unfairly cheap compared to your pricing scheme? Regards Hittfeld

No, you don`t get what you paid for: You get much, much more. Just visit the user group with hundreds of monthly postings, put your question there and meet people who used to develop with MS, TS, .... you name it, and are now loyal to AB and its developer. And no, its not a one-person-setup...

Most of your questions were answered already in your other thread. So #2, 3,4 are zero (if more than $30 comm. p.m., otherwise $10) #5 is also zero for the first monthly wire withdrawl. IBs charting capabilities might be insufficient, so you might add QT (free -depending on your...

Or just updated a backtest? Regards Hittfeld

My personal recommendation would be OandA, especially for someone otherwise happy with IB! Same philosophy: Quality, reliability, correctness at very reasonable costs, no gimmicks but api trading! Within the forex sector I alsways recommend MT4-bucketshop for charting/signals - but trading...

This is the only post of yours I totally agree with. Hittfeld

I would recommend www.amibroker.com for (B) as well. Regards Hittfeld

I don`t know, if I should be counted as well: Living and trading in TG, but from that biiiig Kanton - unfortunately. And then I always have to explain, that I (unfortunately again) only can communikate (re SPEAK) written language. Always good for catching attention. Regards Hittfeld

Swiss banking (extra)privacy isn`t anymore, what it used to be, anti-money-laundering measures included. And no privacy (or even accounts), if you are subject to IRS. Regards Hittfeld

How do you know? Regards Hittfeld

Shouldn`t be too difficult: 1. Install Amibroker RT, install IB plugin. 2. Get TWS running, enable API. 3. Start Amibroker and proceed according to video: http://www.amibroker.com/ib.html http://www.amibroker.com/video/ib.html Won`t work with IB`s demo feed. Regards Hittfeld

I must agree. Slippage trading the super liquid spot market is huge compared to slippage with futures. Hittfeld
