One thing to bear in mind is whether the Cayman Islands are regarded as clean for onward fund transfer purposes. I have a vague memory that we would not accept funds from the Caymans This was the point I was making, you may well be correct with regard to fund administrators. Considering...

BVI and Channell Isl [and many other offshore havens] are regarded as perfectly legitimate, Cayman has negative connotations.

One thing to bear in mind is whether the Cayman Islands are regarded as clean for onward fund transfer purposes. I have a vague memory that we would not accept funds from the Caymans and that major banks won't. If not Cayman then certainly some offshore locations. Cayman Island bankers that I...

Why even deal with these companies at all?. Trading is hard enough without having to trade against someone who knows your position and your available buying power, maybe your stop and who decides what price he quotes each customer and whose integrity is questionable. I mean, think about it...

There is a MP/Price vol add in (dll) dowmloadable for Sierra compliemts of Kiwi (thx Kiwi!) and also there is now a T&S dll compliments of DE_Trader. QT has volume profiles (as does ensign). I mainly use TS2K for Price/Volume profiles driven by IB feed. Riskarb, BBG data can be fed into...

IB is not tick by tick but if you use IB then you can use IB data feed to Sierra or Ensign or Quotetracker with IB data. With backfill it is now really not that much different from a regular on demand feed. All are very reasonably priced with excellent service (i.e. the OPPOSITE of my eSignal...

Spend the whole day trying to hack into every PC in Asia. Virtually all hacking attempts in this ime zone originate in S. Korea

Poison from the truly clueless that gets into your subconscious and damages your trading. I scan the headlines for what I call "jolt" news in the morning, but really more interested in the overnight price action not some convenient explanation. Alerted to non sceduled "events" by an audio...

2 issues 1) Something maybe (maybe) happened that took out various bits of hardware over a period of days and …………. 2) How to resolve the issue with the one (the Appian 4 port video card), that can’t so easily be replaced (Router already has been, UPS will be after research in...

From CQG website" Q: Is the opening higher or lower than the previous close? A: If the opening price is higher or lower than the close it signals a change in sentiment overnight. The greater the difference in price the more significant the change. Q: Is the opening higher or lower than...

Kiwi, Never done it but I gather if they don't all use exactly the same driver you are in for a bundle of fun. I picked up a 4 port AppianX new for USD225. The general wisdom seems to be a 2/4 port is best or failing that use identical cards. HTH - not an expert.

Fascinating thread/posts, (even for someone who doesn't trade NYSE) Thanks for all your posts Maverick (and others).

Most businesses of any size would jump at dropping a USD3000PA cost if the same job could be done for USD144. I also got irritated with their nickel and dime/surcharge this, extra that strategy. People who have run businesses successfully for years watch cost like hawks. They don't pay more...

Yep, I second that. I have been something of a critic of IB on 2 issues on this board, but I only ever had 2 issues with them and there have been real efforts in these areas. Everything else with IB is positive. They have a great product.

They DESERVE to lose customers. They lost me. I refused to be ripped off for such bad data and service. What REALLY ANNOYED me was how Chuck whatsisface would be posting here in threads trying to sell some poster an Advanced Get sub for USD50 but was NEVER EVER EVER seen participating in the...

Yep. There was a problem with TWS logging me out and then refusing to log me back in on Mon Asian am session. Glad I had no positions on. I also hope IB will not let things slide again. There was a [non exchange] issue with SPI data last week.

I sem to remember Reuters 3000 allows you to match news with date of price action.
