ha! another c++ pumper! :) although this guy is cool because he answered some of my pms before.

the difference between c# and c++ is like the difference between excel and lotus123. excel kicks lotus123's ass. press the windows button on your keyboard. type "cmd". press return. see that black box that pops up? if you use c++ you will be working in that black hole. spend all day...

bravo! finally an honest c++ coder who will tell you not to use c++. :)

please explain

hold on there partner. i said c# has a decimal variable type. i did not say that c#'s float and double variable type will work. i said Visual Basic's float and variable type will work. so it looks like you don't need to rewrite anything. just change the variables to decimal type and and...

in C# you just use the decimal variable. in visual basic you just use float or double and it'll understand. :)

lol this is why you don't use the C++. you must roll up your sleeves and explain to it slowly and cleary that 1.00 + 1.00 = 2.00!

do you know her personally? i know what you're talking about, but you seem to have already made up your mind that she didn't earn it? what does earning it mean anyway? even if you got in with no connections and you actually do work 80 hours a week, did you "earn" your $300k a year salary...

you know what? as long as you get there it doesn't matter how you get there. warren buffet said that he would rather earn a lumpy 12% than a smooth 10%. this is common sense and its so true. just make sure you don't blow up before you get there.

wait a sec. if she's a vp at 27 then she most likely started when she was 21 which means she's been working for 6 years already. if she didn't squander her income, it is very possible that she saved around $1 million. it's probably very likely that she has $500k in the bank. you can live...

How can I get Tradestation 2000i signals to IB TWS? There was a program called traderassistant that let you do this, but they shut down. The traderassistant software was nice in that you didn't have to adjust your easylanguage code at all! You don't have to call a dll or anything like that...

she's a Division I swimmer!

why aren't these traders trading for themselves after they lost their jobs?

Is there a way to get information on historical data, like close of 1 bar ago high of 1 bar ago etc.

b1s2, why do you trade the ES instead of the big contract? isn't there less slippage in the big contract because the minimum tick is narrower? your account seems to be big enough to trade the big contract.

what is pfm?

I submitted a limit order to narrow the bid-ask spread and I actually got a price improvement! Why does this happen?

that's right! i feel more assured now, but placeOrder() doesn't ask for a client ID.

IB's User's Guide says this id - The next available order ID received from TWS upon connection. Increment all successive orders by one based on this ID. It seems like IB wants you to just increment by1 too. I'm just worried about it conflicting with manual orders. Wish they can address...

is there a way to stay comfortable out of range of the orderIDs generated by manual orders? for example, if manual orderIDs start from 1 and i know that i won't have 100 manual orders, I'll start the API orderIDs at 500 and start incrementing up from there. the problem with nextvalid id is...
