Minis $3.62 at IB

I just saw this thread but it sounds like you're making out ALL Prop firms as cheats according to your title of this thread. This may probably apply only to the few firms you've worked at so therefore you are exaggerating...

libertad, You must share with everyone on ET whatever you're smoking!

www..marketwatch.com GOOG 413.61, +1.80, +0.4%) is in talks to acquire video-sharing Web site YouTube Inc. for about $1.6 billion, according to a media report on Friday. The discussions are still at a "sensitive stage", the Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site, citing a person...

There's nothing wrong with recommending a book. I just ordered it with free shipping and no tax. Worst Case: I return it. Best Case: I learn something from it that I can use in my trading. You can wait for it in the bookstore and read for free if the book is too much of a risk to buy.

You can check if there if packet loss between you and the server. Start a Dos Prompt Window Type "ping xxx -t" xxx = name or IP of IB Server you connect to. It will keep pinging it non-stop and you can see if any packets are lost. If packets are lost, you can check where they are being...

Just some advice in case anyone runs into the same problem I did. When I bought my new Dell Workstation, I got a wireless card for it. I noticed that when playing games or trading stocks near opening, that it lags once in a while and has packet loss. I got a long ethernet cable and plugged...

My friend had a HD that crashed before. He sent it into some company that helps you recover data. He was able to retrieve almost everything. Unless you are pretty tech savvy, don't try to follow the advice you're getting and risk damaging the Hard Disk more. I would never tell someone...

Did you trade with yourself?

I figured it out, please delete. Thanks!

I read a lot of good reviews of AmiBroker and just downloaded the trial version to see how good it is. I have AmiBroker connected to my eSignal connection. I create a new Symbol and Chart. It defaults to a line chart. I want to see what their Bar Chart and Candle Chart looks like. How do...

There seems to be consistent thinking among loser traders. "If I can't do that then nobody can do that" If someone was not making money, they most likely would NOT be posting on the PnL. It's completely possible that out of the thousands of members of ET, that there are 10 consistent...

If you bought it from Dell or one of the big names, you can get the drivers straight form their website under Support/Drivers. If you still have the manual, it may tell you. Either you have a separate sound card that plugs into your motherboard or it's an generic integrated sound card...

Look on the net for the latest driver for the old soundcard for the pc and give it a try. Worst case if the sound card really failed, you can purchase a old cheap soundblaster card and put it in.

I noticed Esignal was lagging IB by about 3-4 secs during the drop after the rate pause.

Did you have to double post 2 bad reviews of Esignal without first speaking to customer service at Esignal? At least wait to see how the issue is resolved before jumping to conclusions. I hope you get confirmation on the charge back for the service on Monday.

Close your account and open an account at Schwab. You can even go into the office and the guy will hold your hand and tell you where to put your name, address and number. Those forms may be challenging for some individuals who do not know how to read information on a website. I only had to...

Yep. 0.01 < 1000 shares 0.004 > 1000 shares + SEC fees This maximizes the commission since most traders will scale in/out and pay 0.01 per share It's sad when a retail firm like IB with 0.005 per share all-in can beat a prop firm. And there is no volume requirement.

REDIPlus was a good platform when it first came out but they really need to put together a better platform instead of keep applying patches. REDIPlus is the worst platform I've traded with. It was a pain with the stuck orders that wouldn't cancel. Or the orders that you cancel and they...
