    Unreal

    What upsets me is that even though IB's bulletin is timestamped at 16:05:08, the bulletin bar in my TWS didn't start flashing until about 16:13:00. Oh yeah, their quotes on one of my TWS were behind Qcharts again, and then they disappeared completely. I made some ES and NQ trades by looking...

    IB TWS hogging up CPU anyone?

    Can't answer that one. As you probably know, the G200 is a pci card and the G550 is AGP, so either slot worked for me.

    IB TWS hogging up CPU anyone?

    On my TWS setup, I have two monitors with a TWS on each one. Video card is a Matrox G200 quad. I also ran them with a G550 with no problems either.

    IB TWS hogging up CPU anyone?

    I run two TWS at the same time on 1 computer. Java uses about 3-20% of cpu (AMD 1800xp). Same build (797.4) as yours.

    what f*ck just happened

    I thought the CME lifted the 250 cars limit... After posting the above, I went to the CME website. Nitro, you're correct. You can buy/sell all you want, but limit for one trade is 250. An order for any quantity may be accepted for E-mini outright futures. However, Chicago Mercantile...

    what f*ck just happened

    I forgot about the 4 ES I was long that was stopped out at 980.25 on the way down! :( I still think that no trades should ever be busted.

    what f*ck just happened

    My ES and NQ quotes on IB were way behind Qcharts (for a change). At the NYSE close today IB's quotes were also very slow. I agree...don't "pamper the guy who is the cause." I don't think any trades should be busted. Then there's no guessing after a big move. I've always felt this way, but I...

    IB's reply was that their programmers were aware of this issue and they hope to get it fixed by tomorrow. :mad:

    IB quote speed issues...today especially

    I trade through Interactive Brokers and after today's rate cut, the Globex ES and NQ quotes were extremely slow (and all quotes, stock, futures and options, disappeared for a few minutes, but that's another issue). I couldn't trade until the quotes were good again, which was 10-15 minutes today...

    Are IB futures commissions negotiable?

    Let's say that I trade 2,000 ES futures a month. I know I can get better rates elsewhere than InteractiveBrokers (FFastTrade for one), but I'd prefer to stay with IB right now because I can also trade stocks and options in the same acct. IF they negotiate futures commissions, what's the...
