I agree. I traded over a direct line in Cbot running TT. And I traded at my condo over a Cable feed (back in 01/02). I think it was RCN??? I never saw any difference. These days----you should not be able to tell. You can always get a T1 or something to your place----if you are making...

What are talking about? I was just answering the guys question that started this thread. I have been scalping successfully for over 10 years. I would say position trading pays better and is easier to learn for most people. Some people are just scalpers by nature. But if this guys is...

If you can make money scalping in Russia---you can make money scalping in the states ----or anywhere else for that matter. Just remember the tick value on Russian futures like the RTS is low. Outside of Russia you will be dealing with more expensive instruments. And volume has been nice...

Please do not make long terms predictions. No one has every made a correct one except that we are all dead in the long run. Russia was predicted to go extinct ---hundreds of years ago. I am just suggesting that so called Western Civ., (Europeans) will go into some consolidation. After...

Speaking of Racist comments. You have made one yourself. You sound just like the self hating white people. 1)The idea that 'brown' people turned white in Europe is a joke. There is no science to back it up. Other than what crazy Anti-Racist trump up. The science the Anti-Racists push...

They don't really care. It is just the World is becoming very tribal. Indian companies do not hire Western People in India etc etc. This is the argument. Partially true. But even more true is that the Self Hating White Baby Boomers do not support their own! But that will change and maybe...

HAHHAAHAHAHAH LOL Stay away from 100 year predictions. NO ONE HAS EVER GOTTEN ONE CORRECT. Trust me any time any one (especially traders) start making 100 year predictions on populations etc. RUN! If anything you just cursed the Indians. Where will they all go? Who will let all...

Well said. This should be read by any group that is full of themselves (including Westerners). The So-Called Western leaders (usually in just Anglo-Sphere) have sold things to in vogue foreign groups for a LONG time. They only rarely end up being good deals and even then only in the short...

You can marry it faster than you can make it. And it will be like this till humans cease to exist. FWIW, I know of a wealthy trader that married an Eastern European knockout he met on an overseas trip. She was like 27 and he was 48?? They have a kid together now and are living happily ever...

I have upgraded to the latest version. I am still getting a pinkout screen for about 20 seconds every morning between 8:00 and 8:20 est. It comes back on no problem and cross my fingers that is the only problem I see all day (or at least of late). But for those of us that had gotten used to...

It depends. If it is a positive balance --no big deal you can have multiple currencies in one account. But a negative balance in a currency can be problematic and you would want to close it out. They should have an account feature that does this automatically if checked.

I just had TWS go out on the number into a pink screen. Any of you guys using the new TWS? Is it any better?

For once, IB is ignoring a thread. Kinda rare. Usually, they give us an answer one way or another. If they were working on it then ---they have to still be working on it???

thanks tums and will do----youtube sounds fine-----and i will check an mp3 I have been having weird pink screens for a few seconds and then tws comes back on. Very weird. I just had one a few minutes ago and then last night this happened 3 times. IB is becoming unreliable. I hope they get...

Good question and when is IB going to start a new margin system for crossrates?

fWIW, today I had zero disconnects, freezes etc. I was told by a trading buddy to go into the taskmanager and set the javaw.exe to realtime (in the processes tab). This seems to help this new java ---or helps something---or maybe IB has got it straightened out now? Dont know---just thought I...

Makes sense. But I hate start fooling with Java. That is always the kiss death for me. I wonder when java is going to release a new version so I can get off the 6/3 edition?

I am running Ensign and ZLT as well (no Quotetracker). I have seen quite a few log off's and log ons lately. Don't know what is up with this. I have also had a freeze up today of ZLT. Kinda Weird because I rarely have had problems. I could be IB.

It is designed to be identical to interbank. Nothing outdated about it. But most traders are used to Oanda type systems which are more user friendly. I do agree IB should have an auto-roll feature to rollback profits into the base currency if the customer wants it that way. Maybe...

I think it goes both ways. If you got big profits in euros and want to get back to dollars because the euro is going to dive....yeah the extra 2.50 is not going to hurt you. I used to agree with this. But I think it works both ways depending on the ongoing trends. No they do not charge...
