I found out this: When you disable EVERYTHING in that feature selector, and restart, it is better. However, I think the source of the problem are the TWS option models. They take a lot of processing power. I cannot really verify it because that huge volume is gone now, probably for months...

I cannot go back before 867 or 866. Does not work for some reason. BTW, I will make no trades today. First, this is gambling, second, quite a few systems are affected by the extreme volume.

As some of you may have realised, markets are a little over-active this week. Regarding IB: The network connection is fine, but this bloated Java TWS thing "hiccups" each time much market data comes in. CPU - Useage goes to 70 - 100% for a few seconds, the whole "software" freezes as it...

ORDERS: Your App (FIX API) -> IB Server MKT Data: Your App (COM Interface,TWS-like)->FIX gateway->IB Server

You have no idea, obviously. This link mentions the Market Data Gateway (Java App) which tunnels market data trough the same interface as TWS. (IB->Mkt data gateway->API->Your App) The IB FIX interface itself does not offer mkt data.

IB FIX interface is for trading. No mkt data

Yesterday I had an idea. I do not want to speak about this in public, but I think IB has indeed a good reason not to offer it. If this is the point (what I think), I say it's perfectly ok when it's not offered.

I was talking about Nybot on ICE, as I heard what FullyArticulate stated. Seems plans for this thing were buried. I cannot comprehend some of the politics IB is following here. On the one hand, they implement sophisticated technologies/spend lots of time in SSF trading, which has no chance...

Plans for Nybot on ICE were cancelled, from what I heard.

I thought IB would implement access to NYBOT until end of Feb. 07. However, recently (Friday), I heard that the management decided, after reviewing the whole thing, they will not trade Nybot products at this time, until further notice. I do not really care about Nybot, but why this change in...

While we are at it (Nybot)... IB added several exotic currencies to their IDEALPRO listing (but not trading) months ago (HUF, KRW, about 15 or so). I think it's at least half a year now. Can we still expect these to be tradeable in the future ?

eCBOT has problems right now. it seems that a few participants are ok

I would second these requests. Any timeline when IB will introduce electronic NYBOT trading ? I estimate it will be only 3 - 6 months until the (liquid/front) contracts have shifted over to elec.

I thought we were talking about building a new system. When you want to use a new CPU, e.g. Core2Duo you will need a PCIe graphics card (x16 plus maybe x1). The cards you mentioned (probably used on EBay) are AGP only - Nice for older systems.

point is this: 2x 7600GS : $180 (2x 256MB DDR3; 4x DVI out) passive cooling 1x Matrox Millennium P650: $250 (1x 128MB DDR; 2x DVI out) active cooling

unfortunately, 7900 cards are not available with passive cooling. plus, they need an extra power source also, be aware you have to buy 2 identical cards otherwise you will be stuck. you don't need the SLI bridge if you don't want to play games

brother gnome, your opinion reflects what was true 10 yrs ago. it's a fact that use can use SLI boards for building a nice trading workstation. notouch, you should use 2x Geforce 7600GS cards. these are available with 2x DVI & non-active cooling (no noise) for $100 each. you will be...

The whole "nymex on globex" deal is IMO a fiasco for nymex in the longer term view (regarding the business, not technically). I think this will end up like CBoT -> A/C/E -> EurexUS, but much worse because of its far greater scale If anyone considers this deal a win-win situation, it's...

I bet they will be next week. Symbols are already there. Anyway, CBoT does far more volume in gold, in silver it is 50/50. So if you don't need copper yet... But one has to admit that it is more difficult to get size executed in silver on the screen.

Clearly, you guys did not yet see "James Bond 007 - Casino Royale" With profinum, your money is as safe as when bunkered at "Le Chiffre"
