While thinking about it today, I came to the conclusion that the IB security token offers no security at all. Here are my thoughts: - A trojan can modify TWS XML settings files, thus allowing local API access without the user gaining knowledge. Next, the trojan will connect to TWS via...

Siki, your idea offers no help. I have an idea how an "advanced pump&dump" would work, but won't publish it here as hackers might get the idea. With this advanced pump&dump, you could empty an account and get 75-90% of the money out of it effectively. It is not limited to penny stocks.

TO IB REPRESENTATIVES: I think you have a false assumption of a too strong security the device would give. A hacker can without problems remote-control a logged-in TWS and send orders for executing a pump-and-dump scheme. Modern Trojans contain not only functions to record mouse &...

I really have to underline here I consider an opt-out possibility absolutely needed. And yes, I am totally aware of modern exploit methods. - EDIT - Thanks Salvatore, ok

You have no idea. Not about my work, systems, neither about my own security measures.

Plain sucks. I had asked for an opt-out, but now IB refuses this ?

Do this: - No RAID - Put Windows + Programs on one drive - Make sure the System Pagefile is on the other drive This will ensure you will balance the payload a bit between both drives during heavy usage. RAID 5 is not available with 2 drives.

I think the second username is subject to a second 10$ fee / 30$ minimum commish fee. But I am not sure about this. Regards

I completely agree with guru. I see no further need to implement NYBOT access. With these many instruments being offered by IB it appears unnecessary to trade Sugar or Pulp. Note that you can trade Coffee/Cocoa via Liffe. Also, CME will offer globex trading in livestock futures by June.

Hey, Does anyone know how (via which site) to access reuters investor at ri2.rois.com ? It is still available (and updated) in google's cache, so it must be active. One must enter it via the correct portal. (it has session id's etc.) This is really important to me. Used it some...

This is old, still big news right now, but I could not find a thread around here. Anyone thinks ICE can be successful here ? Not me, although a ICE-BOT merger would be much better for us (compared to a CME-BOT merger) The idea behind this is, the ICE management wants to make use of the...

...somebody noticed it... I don't know where this problem suddenly came from, but TWS will generate huge (gigabytes) amounts of logfile data, it has to do with unknown market depth entries.

Yes, and that's what I expected but what I do not want for me personally. While I even admit it's better for the majority of their customers, there has to be an opt-out for skilled customers who prefer the current maximum flexibility. (I have experience with similar devices. A bank...

Of course. I would not challenge you to protect me if I chose to go the more insecure (but handy) way.

FF had several severe holes in the past!! (buffer overflows) An example, check http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/3340 http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/2082 (this is a site for programmers) Opera had far less holes.

I posted this in an IB thread, but somehow I just thought more ppl should read this, so I created an extra thread. Everything presumes a MS Windows based system: - Use a hardware firewall / router. - In addition, use a good software firewall. Agnitum Outpost or Comodo are ok. BE TOTALLY...

I want to be generous, here are some general rules for best security in trading :) Everything presumes a MS Windows based system: - Use a hardware firewall / router. - In addition, use a software good firewall. Agnitum Outpost or Comodo are ok. BE TOTALLY RESTRICTIVE WITH CREATING ANY...

MESSAGE FOR IB / Ids / IBj: If you want to assign the Security Token to all accounts, please, give a possibility to opt-out from the program, I am perfectly fine (BTW, now a customer for 7years), I do not want to change anything. I allege, my computers are more safe than the door to my house.

I am looking for that Cramer-Irony video that was posted on Youtube a few months ago and mentioned here. One guy was imitating him in his studio. Can anyone post a link ? I can't find it.

I also have to say that IB's current performance is not acceptable. However, considering the last years, I am still a very satisfied customer. One has to admit that this incredible surge in volume was completely unexpected. If someone told me a week ago that 10 million ES trade within 3...
