Yes, you're right, I didn't read the OP's quesion properly and apologize. (Also again: I think JVM is a great platform with lots of potential still unused.) A historical backfill in Quotetracker will also take a while, somewhere between 10 and 60 seconds. A intraday backfill, so with...

It's about a buy-stop with a attached stop-sell. Somehow I often forget to click the right column above the price and click the left and end up with a short. Doesn't happen often but makes a lot of mess when it does and breaks the rythm big time. Ursa..

Absolutely correct. I was not aware the word 'in' could be read as 'kernel' app. I meant 'directly using the OS'. It was intended to put down Java, certainly not. I'm sure it is very well possible to build Java apps that are just as quick as C ones. But I never saw one in the wild, yet. I...

Could u clarify what the latter 2 have to do with trading, in your view? Ursa..

Ironically, the reason the charts are slow is the same as to why they run on all platforms: Java! TWS does not directly interact with your computer at all. It interacts with Java and Java executes in the OS. So Java determines how efficiently things are done. It's one of the burdens of...

Yeah, and if it were more than that %-age we'd not have this moron in the Whitehouse. What's scary is so many ppl let themselves be lied to and herded into a new kind of citizenship. Who's the fat guy with the black goaty anyway? Who's paying him? No substantial stuff in the video, only...

Good stuff hels02. Makes one wonder, in hindsight, whether the reason that justified Gulfwar 1 (invasion of Kuwait) were maybe just as farfetched (and maybe pre-fabricated) as those for Gulfwar 2 seem to be. I have always found that sudden invasion very strange. When I read your analysis I...

Yes, that confusion was the reason for me too, to switch. I went to Button Trader. Very solid and intuitive. If you want to spend some money on this most important tool in your trading, take a look at ButtonTrader too. Ursa..

I agree. QA3 (and UT2004 instaCTF) do it for me. They tickle the same mental parts as does daytrading/scalping. Your reflexes have to be fast, you have to stay focussed but loose at the same time, in-the-zone art. Also anger-control and insisting on having fun, however frustrating it can be...

Yes, I know, it was introduced shortly after my post here. :) For now, I can testify that support at QT is still very muck alive and kicking. I had a non-urgent data problem and yesterday found time to submit it to them. Answer came within 5 minutes, about 10 email exchanges (problem appeared...

Good question. Start by asking what 'Lite' means to different ppl. I mean, when you do use other tools for entry, charting and analysis, the only thing left for TWS is to act as a conduit between IB and the tools. Otoh, some would find it awkward not to be able to view and enter orders in the...

I second that! I find upgrading a risky step everytime, only to find the message "Newer version of application available" after just a few days again. We would like to know if it is worth it to upgrade. Ursa..

In any case, it seems like a strange decision to force everyone to upgrade in the last trading week of the year. Maybe they have anticipated no problems but I'd think it would be hard enough keeping the helpdesks staffed during the xmas-nyear week as it is. I hope they know what they're...

And so are yours. traderNik, you haven't added any real content to this discussion, only ridicules and extreme hyperboles. Is there anything you want to say? Maybe a few words will do. Ursa..

I agree with that, good advice. Ratboy would make a better case if he chose his wording better. Now, about the docs. They show that, even when at the time someone would be crucified for daring to suggest government involvement in Cuban issues, in reality that same government was planning...

That's not a very good example because in the case of aliens I might even believe they exist (somewhere) but I do not believe your evidence. My feeling is that in the case of the 9/11 aftermath it is the other way around. People tend to dismiss the possibilities of foulplay and won't even look...

Excellent :D

You mean Ratboy is making up these documents? I think they look pretty authentic and the contents are amazing and shocking. Put that next to the fact that I think this administration is al lot more corrupt than the one in the 60's and the whole premise isn't so unbelievable anymore. Not at all...

Yes dddooo, sorry should'v said, I agree with all the rest of your post. Still best to put blame where it belongs, though; operations as large as these never are done by one man, certainly not one of this caliber. And I think the Cheney guy is the real devil. Ursa..
