If I create my own trade IDs for api trades, is there a chance that those IDs will conflict with the order IDs from manual trades? Can I just keep incrementing the order ID by 1 with every new API trade? Do manual trades have order IDs? Thanks.

bump:D c'mon guys. how does esignal backadjust the data?

does it just roll the contract without backadjusting it?

i'm not asking about the ticker symbol. i'm asking about how you can choose the day it rolls over and the price adjustment of the backadjusted data.

Can someone show me how to set the continuous contract settings for ES? Do i set the rollover date and backadjusted prices? Or does eSignal do this? If eSignal does it automatically, what is their formula? Thanks.

can you trade with TraderStudio? the website says it's an offline product. what does that mean?

listen guys. the claim that java and C# are slower than C++ is a myth spread by the diehard C++ people out there. you see, c++ was the first language and many people learned it when it first came out. since that was the only real language available at the time, lots of systems were built...

i visited those links before making the post. when you load a chart, is the eSignal data manager supposed to turn itself on? mine isn't. what's supposed to happen at each step so that you know you did it correctly?

I tried to follow the instructions, but my chart just doesn't plot anything. Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to plot ES on Ninjatrader? Do I need to turn eSignal on first? What are your settings in instrument manager?

Two questions: 1) Does NinjaTrader provide a bridge from TS2000i to IB? This link seems to suggest that it does. http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/trading_software_automated_trading.htm 2) Will the NinjaTrader software let you do this? Chart1: plot ES from 900 to 1600 and apply...

okay i just went through twslink website in more detail. using this seems to be a royal pain in the butt. how do you go about building something from scratch? is there documentation somewhere?

if i am just sending market orders and they get filled every time, then twslink works fine? the only thing that needs to sync is the position. if all the orders are market orders and they always get filled, then everything should be fine, correct?

i still don't understand. my ts2000i generates a buy signal. the buy signal goes to twslink and twslink sends it to IB. IB fills the order. at this point TS2000i already already has a signal showing on the chart. what do you mean when you ask whether i want TS2000i to track the order?

Is there a way to configure TWS so that it won't let you submit a buy limit order above the market price or a sell limit order below the market price? Buy stops ans sell stops should be used in these scenarios.

multicharts still has some problems and it's quite expensive.

i only want orders functionality. TS2000i sends the orders to IBTWS. In your example with trade commander, if IB already filled the order then why do you need to generate a signal to send another order? Am I reading you correctly?

Are there any off the shelf solutions? If I were to build it myself, what do I need to do? I think I need to read from TS2000i's Tracking Center, but I'm not sure how to do it. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks.

can someone explain exactly how this manipulation works? they are tradfing in private markets. so what? arbitrage ensures that prices are the same as the contracts traded at the exchange.

please describe the conflict of interest more. why is there a conflict of interest when the market maker pays for order flow? lets say i am making a market along with another market maker. these are our quotes. me: 3-4 another market maker: 3-3.5 a customer at the broker i'm...

can you please give an example of hedging? how much capital do you need? how does the business work?
