Just give us a theocratical PnL window with a rundown of all the positions in the order that they were put on and in the pairs they were put on with. You can also do a total exposure for each currency like Oanda. You need some specialization for your Ideal Pro.

How often do you guys upgrade TWS? What about java? I think I am stil on 843 should I upgrade?

I have traded futures for the last 10 years. I have used every broker under the sun. I opened an IB account a few months back for stocks and miscellaneous trading in Asia etc. IB is a solid broker. No one is perfect. But for the low cost data and everything else. They are very good. I am...

I realize that this type of talk does NOT sit well with folks new to the financial markets. Or folks in general that believe the govt advocates a free market. I have been around markets and read everything out there in the last 20 years. It was not until I worked around a couple exchanges and...

I got you. I like having my bottom monitors at least 6 inches off the desk. I tilt the top monitors down on an angle so I can glance at them. I got used to this on a trading desk were we had the CRT's on an angled platform looking down. I dont know if you have ever seen the trading desks...
