Breakouts on daily moves, but buy in anticipation of breakout and pattern completion as soon as the pattern becomes apparent on intraday moves. O/N risk is the factor here. If you are trading low leverage consider buying ahead of pattern completion in daily timeframe. Never buy pullbacks on...

Just plain stealing. In the UK the judge would order them to be tarred and feathered.

Generally the only way to get a meaningful response is to post it on this forum. That way you stand much more chance of getting a meaningful non fob off response from the right person. I have had good responses to isues when posting here. The choice is yours, post here or write 3 emails when...

That'll be your ISP* * (unless you have missed Monday's clock change)

Your stop appears on institutional screens as a big red dot with "come and get me sucka :p " written underneath. On a more serious note, stops are placed at obvious levels and if you enter at breakout or S/R then that is an obvious place for the market to be pushed back to. In thin markets...

I agree, they get so much else right and then sabotage all that good work with their IT and customer service issues.

Just upgraded. Now looks like I have to downgrade. Unbelievable incompetence. I have held back from criticising of late as IB seemed to be doing their best to address the issues, but if I had not read this I could have been wide open for expensive (MY EXPENSE) errors. IB, save your money on...

I junked eSignal for Sierra charts/TWS. Best decision I made. Saved myself USD3-400/month and got real realtime data. I just refused to put up with such a high price for such a low grade service.

If they get it will this mean we can trade LME, TOCOM etc through TWS?

In all but the largest most liquid stocks large holders can only get out when the market lets them out. So what is as/more important to them as price is volume which is why 'flows' ie stock available for crossing is what salestraders call their buy side clients with. Breakouts offer that volume...

Hyperserver (free but unreliable) Metaserver USD 168(slightly better (un)reliability and quicker reconnects and also backfill), Dynastore (no experience) If there are others or anyone has feedback on Dynastore would like to hear.

British tendency to form orderly ques i.e. buyers wait politely ( sipping tea and talking about the weather) until sellers have finished and vice versa.

Appreciated.

Look forward to it (again) def. Due to O/N gap risk low correlations with US are very desireable.

Boom is equities only, double commissions and only shorting in HK and US. For investing not trading IMHO. Some of the regional brokers like Kim Eng or DBS Vickers, Phillip offer access to most AP cash equity markets but not from the same account and clunky/browser based platforms. Phillip...

Jim thanks, if there is multiple repricing rather than sending as a marketable Limit with wide limit it maybe explains why IB synthetic Market is slow and marketable LIMIT and STOP LIMIT is not. I assumed they sent a marketable limit up to the exchange maximum when creating synthetic market...

It was with futures and basically involved very slow execution with what appeared to be excess slippage relative to conditions, not experiencd since I stopped using market orders. Using a Reverse function with 2 different front ends both showed the same problem - sometimes around 30 ticks...
