I am a big TT fan. So I was happy to see so many options for IB. It is all personal taste type of thing. Zeroline does everything I need. Ninja does more. But it really depends on the features the trader needs. Ninja has way more stuff than I need. I find it to be no more clunkier than...

Zeroline is the one to go with. You can try it for free for a month. You can use the sim for free forever. It is tip top. The best front end for IB.

1 pip and usually they are right on top of each other. You can go inbetween and usually get your price in normal market conditions. I have been using IB more and more for forex (I have only been a customer for 4 months). They give the best spreads IMO. Very tight. Especially in the crosses...

I have only had an account for 4 months. overall, they are great. They are going through software upgrades and adding new tools to the mix. I have not really had any problems. Furthermore, when I have had problems. They go away quickly. The above problem went away after I logged out and...

When Def gets back from vacation he will have some answers in regards to the forex programming. He was going to check with the programmers to see about the progress on this. I know they are working on it. As far as TWS being easy to change the programming for Ideal Pro to track profits...

I had a similar problem with YM today in IB. I thought it was zeroline but it was IB. Hey are you playing the midnight rally??

Out of curiousity, what were you trading? stocks?

Besides Rickshaws point. Around that time (june 98) you had the order protocol limits expanded in the minis. I do not remember the exact date but I do know that the limits were not expanded again till 2001 and then up to 250 contracts.

The Chinese have spent the last 4000 years being invaded and conquered. Historically they have never held on to their territory. They have a huge land mass to hold to. That is what reunification is all about. The last renegade provence is of course Taiwan. The early part of 20th century...

Well we saw it quite frequently in the first down leg of the Bear market in 2000 (we --meaning the trading desk I was on). It seems to be the common trait in an "electronic" environment for patterns to self perpetuate. Maybe there is a very good reason for it. I would not take any pattern...

Rickshaw, You just buy the YM? Do you ever do the ER2? Are you putting in stops or do you just go without them? If so, are you using IB's sim stops on CBOT? This pattern goes back quite a ways. I traditionally do the ER2 or ES. But I do not do the trade indiscriminantly. cheers on...

LOL I luv this post. I don't blame the man. I blame the jury.

I am fooling with the EuroFX day and night and have yet to see a thousand lot?? Has anyone seen a thousand lot??

I spoke to soon. From what I just heard. You are correct bro. I have not been in Chicago for a while now (a few years since I actually got rid of my place). I was actually under the impression that Baldy got more out of that tech deal than actually did. When I mentioned his swings and I...

He is going to be the OJ Simpson of Corporate America. I want to see who in the hell was in this jury. Total BS. If he did not do it. Who did? He told the jury that his employees did it! WTF. The dog ate my homework defense. "I am the CEO but I did not know anything was crooked...

Well I have not seen the news from Bloomberg. But I will comment. Tommy Baldwin has been pairing down his trading for quite a while now. He got rid of his office in the Cbot and started renting an office from Gelber. He was spending more and more time at his place in Northern Michigan. That...

Well there are people at institutions that look at and buy systems. Not uncommon. Commodities Corporation had a whole program for buying systems from traders. I know they still had something going for Goldman Sachs (CC is now owned by Goldman Sachs). I don't have any more details for you...

So you are trading the new electronic forex futures options for the Euro? Yen? On CME? Are you using IB? I just pulled up the option trader for the Yen and Euro and there is indeed something going on there. Kinda a new thing. I had forgotten about it!

I am using the latest version. It lagged data on a couple symbols for me today as well. I use Ensign and the auto log in used to work well. I have Ib logging off and Ensign logging it back in. Not anymore! This latest version has some bugs. Another thing, I made the mistake and...
