Thanks, I was wondering wtf happened as there were no news to cause such move. Trent

Depends largely on your style. If you enter at market chasing breakouts it will certainly have an effect. If you enter resting orders waiting for the price to come to you it may be totally irrelevant. Trent

Problems here also this week :( Trent

How about checking IB's site? its all there. Trent

And what if you apply my suggestion above? Trent

What about dividends received from abroad? You could do the following: Establish a company in a tax-heaven and trade trough it. Pay dividends from the company to you. If such dividends are considered capital gains and tax for capital gains is 0 then you are set? I have done all kinds of...

Yes trading is boring most of the time. Mostly trading=waiting. Trent

Maybe a better way to explain it: A listed stock is listed in for example Nasdaq and a futures contract is listed for example in CME. That exchange controls and regulates the product and how it is traded and gives out official quotes etc. Also, Nasdaq and CME are themselves heavily regulated...

Ah this is very good to hear. I somehow missed this when setting my Button-Trader up and as default it works as I described. Btw your documentation leaves some room for improvement, program is superb :) Thanks for your reply. Trent

OK I will try once more: Everybody does NOT take quotes from one place. For example eSignals forex quotes are aggregated from something like 200 places. Pretty spikey stuff, I have tried it. Trent

Where did I say that you did not? Anyway I have spent too much time on this allready so enough. If you really cannot crasp the difference between the workings of the interbank market and for example Nasdaq or CME then so be it. Trent

I do not know how big Reuters' share is. Basically two banks can for example deal directly with each other without going trough Reuters or anyone else and that would be a transaction happening in the Interbank market without any 3rd party knowing about it. I cannot comment on slippage on...

There is no "official" Interbank market. The dealings do NOT go trough a centralised system. I.e. for example party A may deal with party B and party C will never know that the dealing took place. It is not a transparent market. No I do not trade with Oanda I use currency futures which are...

There is no single centralised "interbank". Interbank markets consist of hundreds or thousands of participants giving prices which are aggregated by ECN type operators and quote providers. Do yourself a favor and learn the basics of limit / stop etc. orders from somewhere. Trent

Man you are confused. Trent

Will the OSO be maintained at the end-users computer or at your server? My point is that the most likely break in the chain is between you and the end-user. I often have orders sitting for minutes or more waiting to be filled. My button-trader stores the stop and target orders at my computers...

I live at home. Pretty nice one too. Where else would one live than at home? Pretty lame payroll action so far... Trent

Its funny how people are so keen to bash a guy who actually wrote interesting insights about trading. Thats is actually quite rare at this site. Trent

Very interesting especially with IB's problems lately. Anyone who uses Tradestation for futures any comments about the speed of executions and reliability? Trent
