Thank you. I have been all over the website before and have yet to see a grid with the Contract months and the current volume and open interest in those contract months displayed. I can find the volume and open interest ---but not based on contract month. I realise now it is all probably in...

So everyone is still looking at April ---ok ---I have May up as well.

Hey, Can anyone tell me the liquid hang seng contract months and when the volume rolls? Everytime this damn thing rolls out. I end up pulling up the wrong month for the first few days. I went to the damn website and looked all over ---they say it rolls quarterly (march, june, sept, dec)...

yeah I am used to TT as well :)) In the zeroline, if you go high or low it does not just buy or sell. They are stop orders. So it is a little differant than TT. Take your time to get used to it. But if you use TT you will adapt with the action buttons and like it. I have to have a TT...

JimC, I like Sierra as well. Ensign is great. They have backfill on everything but the Hang Seng. As IB rolls out it's backfill it will link that. Sierra will link the backfill as well. Learning curve on any new software can be a pain. You know you can run both Sierra and Ensign. One...

Well I am messing with Ensign and TWS and I have had an issue collecting data as well. There is no backfill for the hang seng. So you have to collect the data. IB will be offering so many days of backfill shortly and ensign will pick that up.

I just started using it a week ago. Yes, you can get option quotes and all that. In Tradestation, you have optionstation. However, you cannot use it for futures options. They are suppose to enable it for futures sometime in the near future. Of course to Tradestation 'near future' can mean...

Jason, I am a big fan of CQG. I do not believe you will completely replace it. I was running Tradestation as well. I am canning it and running Ensign instead. Ensign can run on many differant data providers. With a 40 dollar subscription. You get free historical data. I have an IB...

Has anyone run TT on XP home? I have only run TT on a handful of programs (nt, 2000, and now xp pro). All the recommended ones! I just wonder what the difference would be running TT on XP home instead of xp pro. I only have XP pro. I looked at one of my nephews computers with xp home and...

Is anyone here trading these daily? Or is everyone waiting for the margin to come down and the hours to be extended? The spreads appear to be tight.

Did you build your Ergotron from scratch? You know you can mount 36 inch polls to go higher with ds100. "Mr. Lescor--- a trader by day and at night in his spare time he launches space shuttles."

I must be missing something here. Since when do the futures crosses do any volume? The futures outrights are doing great volume. But for crossess I have yet to see much progress on CME for like Eur/Yen etc...

Thank you for your answers. So basically, I can trade any random amount above 25k. I get it. You guys are basically operating just like Interbank then. There are no standard contracts at all. Your website was not clear. So basically, If I put in a bid to buy 50k dollar/yen everyone...

Thanks def, When is the shutdown? I remember you saying that IB expanded the hours? and is going to expand them to 24 hours? I have to buy and sell in 25k lots/increments? correct? Also when is the margin rates going to change from 5% to 2%?

Never mind the question. I am new to IB. I was looking at your Jpeg and was looking at the description of the symbols which looked back/assward to me cuz I thought that WAS the symbol. :D Lone Eagle, I opened up an IB account for longer term stock positions. With that said, I...

Thank you for posting these. Why are the symbols inverted? usd/aud instead of aud/usd etc...My system is the other way around?

Thank you Setharb. How are they on the Nzd/Usd. Can you do the Eur/Cad? How many actually crosses do they cover?? I cannot find it on their website. I am guessing all G7 and G7 crosses?

How are they for crossrates? For instance, gbp/jpy?

Eagle, I see you use Hotspot. Everyone is loving them these days. I do not know anyone that is using Lava (yet). I do know everyone is looking at them all of a sudden. Currenex is tip/top. Probably the best IMO. You can do the demo with them. Out of curiosity, are you trading as an...

Interesting, These Monitors must be HUGE. Does anyone know if these would be mountable on Ergotron stands. Probably have to get longer polls (which you can do). Two of these on a verticle Ergotron stand would give someone ALOT of real estate. But at 1100 bucks ---not bad.
