This has much more to do with the exchange than it does IB. IB has some of the better Asian networks in the business. They are used by Timberhill (and set up byTimberhill). Timberhills lifeblood is having secure feeds/connections and exchanges. But the problem lies with the exchange in...

I agree with your post. I have seen more data problems with IB in the last 5 months than in the previous 3 years. I am sure they will straighten it out. Timberhill will not put up with data problems.

IB what is going on over there? I thought these problems were straightened out last year? My data is shutting down and sticking ---all over the place. Get it together IB.

Def, When is IB going to offer a creative solution to the non-base currency crossrate double margining ----Eur/Jpy is about 60k in margin (per 1,000,00k position) in a dollar based account. You guys were going to do a system wide type span margining or portfolio type of margining for...

You are correct to call him out. But for the record, the whole top of Anglo-Sphere has it's share of Hebrews here or there. And yeah they can have some power not that it has ever been good at for the average Jew or even above average Jew. Right now Anglo-Sphere has dominant Irish fractions...

I have to disagree. Zimbabwe happened because the "White Elites" in the West wanted it that way. Probably one of their stupid experiments gone wrong. Mugabe was not the guy they thought. South Africa probably will not go that way......because the White Elites in places outside of South...

Is the Mini Hang Seng tradeable? I seem to remember it was either very illiquid or US residents could not trade it. Good sized contract actually.....now that the Hang Seng is such a roller coaster. You trading it Kiwi? I remember you used to trade the hang seng. What about the mini...

One thing we can all agree on is that the Ensign platform should be re-written into modern code. It is a dated platform, not in functionality per se but it is just old code. Neoticker and Investor/RT seemed to written in better code.

I have rarely had a refresh affect my trading in over 10 years. I use indicators but keep things simple. If you need something perfect to run a system.....it will rarely work in the long run (in my experience). I looked for "reasonably reliable" indicators years ago and have been using the...

I used CQG for years and a few years ago started fooling around with the "cheap" feeds. I started with Tradestation and moved a small account with them. They sucked so I moved the Tradestation account to IB. I fell in love with IB for trading multiple instruments etc. So I looked and tried...

Good trading. But what are you trading? forex?

By the way, this is why we do not see the monster size in the deck for the Bund and bobl----block trading. I need to call around on this one.

I have traded fixed income at the cbot since 1995. And this is a new one. Is this block trading ----going on over the phones? Where do we find this market? You would think I could pull up the deck for the blocks being bid and offered. In the pits, the lot sizes actually had different...

Thanks. I was wondering if there was something in TT and or IB were I could see the block trades bids and offers. I was curious to how they take place.

Where do you see the block trading page?

That is what I figured ----my trading pals just yelled at me ---saying---we are watching just like you..... lol How do the block trades take place? electronically?

There is NO size in the ten year deck. But all looks steady. They have allowed block trading. Maybe that is why I dont see any 1k lots in the deck?

Volume should mushroom on Bonds. BUT it may not. There are more than a few traders/institutions that like it the way it is. I am guessing that the new exchange has more to do with it than what traders want (as a previous poster pointed out). I curious to see how Globex is going to change...

I have been around 100's of trading computers (strike that thousands). I have seen very few problems with Dell workstations and even fewer problems with HP. Furthermore, I have not ever seen a problem with Nvidia cards. Not saying there aren't any. I don't know jack about computers. I...

I was recruited a few years back by a power trading company in Canada that had an operation in the mid-west. they had the idea that because I could trade Natural Gas----I could do well in power. Trading PJM?? (I think) LOL I did not take them up on their offer -----but I did walk...
