You are right RickShaw. That was easy money for any longs. The Nikkei blew up. Pull up a chart of the Hang Seng from last night. The Hang Seng is back in action---it is starting to make those big volatile up moves in the second session. Good Job. Now all you have to do is learn to buy...

I am using 848.8. I was not aware of a simple Macd. Well damn. I had not checked this upgrade. It was not there before! This is fine the ability to change between simple and expon. is just fine. I would like to make the MACD slow line dots though. Maybe some dots or dash option for...

On your longer term charts for IdealPro forex. I would like to have something other than line charts. Also, for your Macd, I would like to be able to vary it from simple to exponential. There is my request. Oh, i like the white charts better than the black. Can we adjust colors in the...

I saw them turn up at the end of the day and immediately wondered how many on this thread will be buying. Do you buy religiously every night or do you just do it after a big down? Or are using other inputs? I have noticed it tends to work if the dow is down more than 70 points. Has...

I would listen to this man. Believe me. That is how it works. Not in all cases. But 8 out of 10. If you are giving out a loan to family. They consider it giving. Believe that. If you are going to give your family money and help folks etc. That is great. Especially, if they...

Hows it going F71! It has been a while. I agree with this. I am used to 19's and sitting in front of 20's is odd. They look better for surfing the web etc. But for trading---the 19's seem to work very well. I can lipe up 3 big charts on a page. The extra inch of the 20's does nothing...

You are asking a good question. Hopefully, Def will tell us. You can have more than one account with IB and move money between them real easy. For instance, I am on the US server farm and it used to go down an hour a night ---right during Hong Kong trading session. The solution was simple...

Sorry to ask an off topic question. Thanks for replying. Hopefully, your IB hookup through Hong Kong works out! You can have multiple accounts with IB (one on the hong kong server and another on the US or Europe).

LOL..... I have a feeling that IB will get this straightened out and in the near future will be as good as ever. I am optimistic. There is not much else they can add to their platform. What other kind of sh** do you expect to see? Now that it is loaded with stuff ----they will get it...

I have been fine all day with US markets. Europe is shown to be up and I any quotes. Also, all my combo quotes for the Eurostrips are gone.

They are in the process of moving to server farms. Supposedly this has and will bring big improvements in Asia and everywhere else. Joesan, How do you like Shanghai? You trade chinese futures there as well?

Eurex and IPE are not showing anything on my TWS.

LOL. I have another broker. I have been using IB for Asia and data (with Ensign). I did have CQG. But now I am just using the IB and TWS solution. Which up until the last day was running head to head with anything I sat beside it.

My USfutures farm is connected and is fine but Nymex quotes are not coming in?

I am not getting data from the US farm and HKfarm (both disconnected). I was logging out and in earlier and it was getting worse. So until they get this fixed ---do not log out and in--it wont help. Unless you are not getting any data ---then it does not matter. IB, It is very...

Thanks for the explanation. I thought that my rave review jinxed the whole deal. I have had consistent problems with HK over the past week and I am glad it is not something on my side. Your explanation works for me. Anything to make things more stable and faster --go for it. I went to...

I wrote a glowing review for IB on this thread (or maybe it was another thread on Elite). Of course this morning I had data problems with Eurex and still the HKfarm is not logged in throwing the light orange. No big deal because HK is not trading. But I missed alot of trading this morning...

I have been scalping for over a decade. It would have been great to have something like TWS 10 years ago. I have not seen the problems you are seeing with TWS in regards to speed. The commissions for Nymex are the best going IMO (8 bucks cheaper than if I use my other broker and or TT). As...

FWIW, IB is a reliable company. I have only had a couple minor problems and that has been of late. I have not lost any money because of them tho---which is of course the only thing that matters. I plan on being an IB customer for a long time. IB, are you guys going to off LME?? It...

Hey Def, I filled out a trouble ticket. I am on the Ny server (eastern time). Hong kong server is consistently dropping off. You guys having problems? My market data light is orange all day from this.
