Don, you frequently state that your compliance officers are very strict with regards to your posting here at ET and truthfulness. In light of that, could you tell us exactly how many "zillions" he has made?

I have had a similiar problem but it is only with my IB paper trading account so I haven't spent much time worrying about it. In my regular acct, booktrader runs fine, but in papertrading mode it starts normal w/ 5 levels. After one or two paper trades I lose mkt depth and only have the inside...

You can ask him directly. He posts here you know. :)

not talkin bout options here.

A cross between a bookie and a broker. A brokie. I like it. Get some muscle behind you and I'd say you got a plan.

It's progressive- you only pay the 28% on income over $74k, not all the income. Add in deductions and I think I gave you a good guestimate earlier. I fall into the 33% bracket and I told you I paid an effective rate of under 13% including state taxes. 15-20% will work for planning purposes.

Nearly impossible to answer there are so many variables. As a broad genralization, I would say plan on a 15-20% effective tax rate( just total taxes / gross income). I came in at 12.5% for last year, but I have other business income I can mess around with.

Yes.

I took it about 10 yrs ago and there was no sponsor needed then. Not positive, but don't think that has changed. 7 needs a sponsor.

I'm using 60.25 right now.

I run a zyxel dual wan router, a 2mb fixed wireless connection and a comcast cable connection. The zyxel has load balancing and automatic failover. TWS will need to re-login after failover but it does it automatically. There is about a 30-60 sec delay for it to come back up on failover. Before...

I can shed some light on the esignal calcs. It uses the 1 min O,H,L,C of each series to calculate the spread. Spread open is O1-O2, spread H is H1-H2, spread L is L1-L2 and spread C is C1-C2. Because the H and L can occur at any time in the bar, the two H values and two L values used to...

I have a few initial questions on str/sq too if you guys don't mind. These are pointed a little more at understanding what we're looking at rather than just the raw application of it. First, are we working on the assumption that futs always lead cash, or is there room in the analysis for the...

The above post gave everything needed to recreate my IB test app. I didn't post the VS files or the compiled app because I'm not sure if they are file types that can be attached to posts here. If anyone wants the actual files, just ask and I'll try to figure out how to do it. Maybe zipping them...

That really wasn't that hard to get working. I had initially started my experimenting with the REDi API and I must say that from my limited experience here the IB API is ten times easier to work with. It has one control you drop on the form. Then when you click on the control it shows all the...
