I think TWSDDE was an older way. Have you tried the newer ActiveX support?

And what did he say about orders placed through Rithmic ? Note that Crossland offers several different choices of routing. It is my understanding that orders placed via Rithmic clients or API go directly to Rithmic. After all you are paying Rithmic's standard routing charge.

Actually I believe that you were completely misinformed because they are just an IB for Crossland and do not have any servers (or bank accounts) of their own. You are really trading with Crossland. You connect directly to the Rithmic infrastructure. Both firms are listed by Rithmic as...

If anyone knows of a broker that charges only transaction charges for R-API trades, without a $100 a month minimum charge, please let me know here or privately. It is not clear from broker web sites. http://www.deepdiscounttrading.com/ quoted 10 cents a transaction with a $100 a month...

I am skeptical. You might be misinterpreting - the display was misleading in older versions of TWS. Please give an example......

Ah that's very helpful to know that it is broker dependent - I will check with other brokers in that case..... Thanks a lot! Don

Is it true that it costs $100 a month minimum to use the Rithmic API, but that there is no minimum cost to use R-Trader? Can one postpone this cost during testing and development by initially coding to the Zen-fire API (which is a wrapper of the Rithmic API)? Later one would convert to...

Thanks for your comments, Bone! I am not planning major plays in the options. I have been trading the WTI versus Brent futures spread for some time and am just looking to enhance it a little with some options as well.

That combination appears to line up exactly with my needs. I like the C++ so that hopefully I am not stuck totally on Windows. I have just finished reading many many threads on Rithmic, which are very positive. Iit seems very attractive. It seems that Vision Financial Markets is one of...

I have not traded those so far - probably I do not have the capital yet - but I guess you are saying that those would be the way to go for the more sophisticated swaps I definitely would like to trade them eventually....

Right the Globex ones are fine for WTI, and I do trade those, but not, I think, for Brent. I would like to trade Brent options against WTI options. It is just one trade though and perhaps not essential. ICE has both Brent and WTI futures so I like to trade on ICE. I guess there is...

As per another post elsewhere, I am interested in small-scale trading of Exchange Spreads on Energies on ICE, but I like to trade crude options too. It looks as if Cunningham CTS T4 from Advantage Futures, kindly mentioned by Spread Professor / Bone as one option for trading exchange spreads...

Absolutely correct. I am looking into a couple of very low-cost options for a solo 401(k): http://www.401kadm.com/ http://www.theonline401k.com/ and others. Ideally I would just like to license a prototype plan with as few add-in services as possible since I have experience with a...

It might be the different network cards. Try swapping them if you can or adding a different one on top of the built-in one. It could also be some other hardware component such as video card that is using excessive memory or interrupts. It could also just be a larger cache in the...

There were news stories recently that Nymex is looking to make changes to the contract specification to limit the acceptable content. Apparently some suppliers have been mixing in lower content Canadian oil which is allowed by the current spec, but is causing problems for refiners. I am...

Ah thanks - now I finally understand why these specialized platforms are essential - because they have the exchange-defined spreads programmed in. I found the low per-trade pricing for CTS on the Advantage web site ("$0.50 per contract with a $25 monthly minimum- Includes first 50 contracts...

Is it true that exchange-supported implied spreads such as the crack spreads on NYMEX and ICE cannot be traded optimally at Interactive Brokers, and that I need to go to Advantage Futures to be able to trade them directly without legging in and out? Also, what is the lowest cost platform to...

Oh I should have added that cautious brokers might still not accept a foreign-incorporated client if the major shareholder was from the U.S.A.

I do not see anything improper about forming an offshore corporation provided all income to oneself is properly reported to the IRS and the proper Treasury form TD F 90-22.1 is filed. There are companies in the Caymens and elsewhere which advertise incorporation services. I guess the ideal...
