You are right. All the stock indexes are like that. The amount of volume that drives the thing up (even in the naz and the spoo) is a joke. You think it is manipulation? I will post an interesting quote for you guys. I have been aroun along time and have seen this quote ONLY RECENTLY...

You are a right I dumped them about 5 minutes ago! good call way to read me. :D

I am going to hold into the first hour to see how much upside we get. The trend is up. You are right tho. Let the fools fight for nickels. The only thing I scalp these days is the Euro futures.

I read that you are in Shanghai. I would think your connection would be good from there? I can imagine your internet connection is quite stable. FWIW --my Hong Kong serverfarm is down. I am on the Eastern US servers. I have an orange light. It is the only server down. IB what is...

I have noticed that in an uptrend (prices greater than 50 period moving average) it pays to hold it into the next morning. For instance right now I am bullish anyways ---so holding into tomorrow makes sense. In downtrend, in my experience you had better be gone by the next morning. So you use...

IB and TT know each other well. The management of both companies had an agreement a long time ago to do something. I believe it was hook TT directly into IB. I know that TT and IB released some kind of joint announcement way back when on this agreement.

ok RM. Are you going long right when it opens tonight or do you go long on strength? lay out the normal midnight rally strategy? I was under the assumption you just went long toward the close and hung a stop out there and rode it till the next morning.

they were working on something and the Eurofarm went down or at least my connection to it went down

Yeah I just logged out and logged back in and it seems ok all of a sudden. It was just the Europeanfarm on mine. Very irritating seeing as I have not had any problems with it!

Anyone experiencing an Orange Market data alert in TWS? I am not getting any European Quotes. US quotes coming fine but it says that the EuroFarm feed is disconnected? I cant believe I am the only one. US data seems to be coming in fine.

I am experiencing the same thing.

I have been trading Nymex products on Ib. Nymex is not rolling from CME globex just yet. They postponed it again. I pulled up Sept. crude in IB and it came up friday. Anyone looking at trading Nymex crude or Natural Gas electronically. Give Ib a look. I am saving several dollars a...

Trading Day by Day by Chick Goslin Best book in years. www.tradingdaybyday.com

I concur. I have used everything out there. I had a system running Tradestation. I junked it and moved that account over to IB. I am now running IB and Ensign on that computer and I have been blown away! All for 55 bucks a month! Quotes run right with CQG. No you don't get as many quotes...

Rickshaw, Do you go long every night? Or do you use some filter?

Yeah, Just21. School the non computer people. I tried last time you said that and it does work. I just don't know if I got enough of the logs. Is there a particle file ext? Do you mean log.thur etc etc? what about failed login dat files?

I am using 847.8 in conjunction with Ensign. I was loving everything but the autologon has not been working well in Ensign since I started using 847.8. I was thinking about upgrading to this latest version. Now I am going to wait. Let the guinea pigs figure everything out.

I think what he might talking about is the ability to track individual trades. For instance, if I buy 50k of Eur/Usd and then the next day buy 25k Eur/Usd. It would be nice to track the profits and losses and exposure of Each of these transactions. Like Oanda and everybody does (all other...

Buttontrader looks cool BUT I am used to TT ---so for my IB account I need something close. Buttontrader is to wild ---everything is upside down from what I am used to. :-)
