Whats your point? Did you read the original post?

Exactly right. The US is hopelessly behind when the issues will get serious for them too. They will have to buy technology from the Europeans and the Chinese, with their valueless dollars. The Chinese take this far more serious than the US, and they are in fact still a developing country. It...

Why, and by whom? Do you really believe that crap? Al-Qaueda, if it ever existed, is stronger than ever, I think the number of sympatizers has 100.000-folded since then. If there ever was a real danger (I still doubt that honestly) this government has done nothing to make things better. On...

Yes, and the "wow market keeps going higher" was less than 0.5%

I can't put my finger on the exact difference but in my experience there is delay and a different, less accurate accumulation of tick-data. For normal swingtrades that is ok of course, but for accurate scalping it is not. Better to use a simulator on the real account. Also, there was a rather...

How about the longs that didn't cover yesterday? You lost 120 points on the YM since yesterday tops (on paper of course).

Hi nitro, in my experience, trades made with the paper-account in IB are not at all accurate. Not only do the tick-quotes differ from the real-world, also the way eg. a limit-order 3 ticks from the price is handled is misleading. It either is executed as soon as the price reaches the limit...

ButtonTrader, look it up. Best b/a fill simulator I know. Hard to distinguish from the real thing. Ursa..

Ppl won't fall for the next cut. The knife is dull already

Why aren't you back in your hole? You normally are when the market goes down (which it does about 50% of the time). Seriously, I'm trying to be market-neutral, bear nor bull, but ignorant emptyheads like this really make me hope for a few serious down days in a row, just to shut them up...

RTFM is also a good idea before starting a thread with a title like this. Maybe OP you can still change it? Ursa..

http://twsdde.wikispaces.com/ Besides a (fairly complicated) data-processing sheet I managed to build for option-chains, I never succeeded in getting any order out to IB with DDE. Just not enough docu. Ursa..

That, or he did it on purpose. The US is in deep debt to the rest of the world. What other means, except WW3, is there to ever clear that debt? But it won't work; within the year most oil-producers will want their oil priced in EURs. If that were the case now the latest FED measure would have...

Hundreds? I wonder why. Ursa..

Exactly, don't see any. Show us Hapa. Ursa..

They tried to prepare that one, but someone found out and notified an overzealous authority. Now they have to explain why they flew over the USA with several live nukes, but hey, the public will swallow that one as well. Ursa..

So what does this mean? And if you din't mean that, in what sense are you "pulling the rug"? Ursa..

Of course you get filled when you take the middle between b/a, everybody does, that's no secret. All markets work that way, why would SPX be different? Your misinformation lies in that you claim the MM has to take your bid/offer away because otherwise he is obliged to take all, even very...

Your'e very naive, arent't you. If it is possible to fly around armed nukes without anyone knowing on the spot why, when and how this happened, how difficult would it be to fly the thing to NY and drop it on Manhattan? I mean, getting the armed nukes is the hard part. The rest is relatively...

Who needs enemies with friends like this. That's why you had to take of your shoes and deposit all liquids for the last year. Security! Another 9/11 in the making, this time (sic) self-inflicted? Ursa..
