How long does IB support previous versions?

When are we going to have these icons redesigned? they'd better just get rid of them IMO I am using a previous version of TWS and hate these ill designed icons that now got even bigger, I can't even resize TWS as I used to. First off who the hell needs the charts and the news??!! I suppose...

Def, calls outside of regular US hours to foreign help desks are not toll free Do you mean a Dax Futures trader in France or England doesn't have a toll free number to call IB 's office in Switzerland? Thanks

I know this one http://www.stormchasertech.com/. The numbers can be different depending on the source.

Remember futures (except for the DIA contract) are suspended for15min. prior to the NYSE opening. The eminis are not suspended why is that?

The introduction of the market data fees was just a way for IB to charge an inactivity fee under the pretense they have to pay the exchanges for data. How come they didn't charge anything before? how come they still charge 3 bucks a month with no quotes ( which is what exchanges charge for THEIR...

Don, you know better I am sure, but I believe the strategies you guys use at the open are mainly for listed stocks. If you don't trust chart patterns nor the MM's on L2 how do you or your OTC traders trade Naz stocks then? Just from the tape? I don't trust the tape with Naz stocks plus I...

I have no idea of what these open only trades with fair value exactly are. It sounds complicated. I daytraded stocks for a while now eminis, there are many chart patterns in the first 30 min of trading. Just go to lower time frames, watch multi day charts and watch one min chart of the futures...

replying to my own posts here, for the record, the levels I had annotated on ESZ1 seem to be satisfying to work with on ESH2. Anyway there is only a one point difference between the cash and the March contract not a lot more than the PREM on ESZ1 a few weeks ago (why?). For ex. for today I had...

Darn only 250K a year with bonus! I don't believe this ! Do you still want to be a Forex trader?

http://www.mrci.com/ and read this daily column: After Midnight Morning Outlook with Toni Hansen http://www.hardrightedge.com/trader.htm otherwise just stay glued to your real time charts all day long for a few months and papertrade a few strategies before trading real money.

Zentrader, "Generally, if you are a great trader they will find you" What do you mean? if you make a ton of dough your broker will hire you??!

Not sure I understand you write puts against a long position that in the example you give might go down in case it makes an acquistion? Why the long position in the underlying, you can have the stock put to you and see another loss on your long underlying position ?

Sorry another question just to keep the thread active : today's fair value given yesterday night on Bloomberg TV was 1.27, the other source I use http://www.stormchasertech.com/ has fair value for Friday 12/14 at 2.03, also two days ago it was something like 1.4 on Stormchaser Technologies...

yeah the new users should use the search function there is like 5 threads on emini trading.

It's my first time trading through the rollover period I am still not sure what to do with the S/R and MA's of the December contract practically how do most of you do it? I use mostly S/R to trade so it's very important I have the right numbers I have been keeping only the numbers for ESZ1...

Strangely enough you can still get RT snapshots and charts from Futuresource.com not very useful but it's free.

Quotes totally inaccurate this morning at the open. LiveCharts is even better.

Toni Hansen from swingtrader.net gives good ideas for trading index products, I don't know how valuable swingtrader.net is but I always read her daily column on Hardrightedge.com, very insightful TA comments even if it's often hindsight 20/20.

yEAH I don't know what they are doing with the night session data. Try this fix when quotes get stuck again, switch the chart to another time frame and then back, it worked almost every time , I only had to exit 2 -3 times since I have been using it. Other than the major delay last Tuesday and...
