I went for Casper after it was reccomended on ET. Great product. Thx whoever it was.

Any chance of an IB (as datafeed) version?

I would like market depth for more than 3 tickers simultaneously. At least 5 if not 10. A comm/volume threshold or charge in the same way US bundle is charged for is not unreasonable for (say) more than 10 (but don't want to open the door to being nickled and dimed here- current absence of...

IB TWS and Buttontrader (3rd party TWS front end). I have hotkeys set up on a separate keypad. Agree, keyboard driven is infinitely preferable for some things.

Alright, allright, maybe it's an anomoly and Wiley does not have distribution in Spain. They probably stock the e-book in Moscow.

Amazing that I can buy it in any bookshop in Bangkok but they don't have it in Madrid :D FYI it is just a (sometimes good) synopsis of various mainstream published methods and nothing more. I think it has value for anybody starting out as they get to see that there are trading methods beyond...

IB is by far the best deal I am aware of in this part of the world if you are not doing volume. Man/Refco SG will take retail but try and stuff people for USD20 RT on futures so I doubt that options are much better, plus they want USD200/month for clunky platform unless you want browser based...

Spoofing would be my guess - need to pull that size as soon as a bid ask strike triggers the pull. Latency of data coming from the broker would be an issue in that case. Just a guess.

You have to invest the time to learn how to write a simple moving average crossover system and optimise it, but after that its all gravy. The book/CD/seminar goldmine awaits you.

I stay with TS2K as I needed radarscreen for non US markets and because I wanted multiple choice of data feeds for non US markets. For me there seems no real reason to upgrade to TS8 and also pay quite a hefty fee for Owndata. I don't hear good things about their brokerage side and trade...

Thanks. Useful feature.

Steve, how do you get that feature back after pressing something and somehow cancelling it (is it configure/auto futures rollover and then tick box?). hle I'm here, is it the futures combo feature that is used for actual R/O?

I think the IB FX model is superb. Very tight spreads that easily compensate for the commission and spread model. I don't really understand why someone would trade with the bucket shops since IB introduced IDEALPRO. I think some people have unrealistic expectations regarding quotes in a fast...

Out of curiousity is this the "true latency" you were describing or were you referring to something else?

I thinky you are operating at a higher level than me on this. When I encountered it, it was just that the MD would not authorise the expenditure for additional capacity.

At a lower level than the one you operate in a major cause of latency is the bottleneck from undercapacity in the brokers servers that check client margin before executing. Not ping, not lines to exchange, just plain old undercapacity/inadequate spec. Add this on top of exchange matching engine...

On Hyperthreading, it causes miscelaneous problems. I have just solved a problem with data flow from TWS stopping with one particular app by disabling hyperthreading at the insistence of the app vendor. worked like a charm. From unuseable to problem free. I also found my menu selection was...

Having a value system that enables you to seperate your perception of your self worth as a person from you trading results is important.

It was long before 9/11 and related specifically to the risk of being regarded as being complicit in money laundering.
