kiwi, i just found your answer in the sierra support board... (scroll down to post #29) http://supportboard.sierrachart.com/showthread.php?t=12769&page=3

thanks, kiwi...

kiwi, does that mean you have two parallel charts for the same symbol? one chart with 5 second bars and one chart with a real time feed? i just switched to sierra, and am experimenting with setups.

does anyone use sierra charts combined with ib papertrader data feed? i wanted to add a second pc only for order execution, but that means i won´t be able to use ib data for my sierra charting anymore. i was wondering if i could just as well use ib papertrader data as feed for my sierra charts...

i´m looking for datasoftware which enables me to look at tick data of several hours at the same time in one screen without having to scroll (not only ticks of the last ten minutes or one hour). my current data-provider (taipan-realtime) seems to be the only software where i can do this...

switzerland: no capital gains taxes! i found this document last weekend: http://www.estv.admin.ch/d/dokumentation/publikationen/dok/dossier/f6.pdf (page 21: no cg taxes on futures and options). i wonder if there is anyone here trading from switzerland, who could possibly confirm this...

thanks jsl, that was the solution!

weird: i noticed that the P&L column in my tws trading window is missing. I normally have it next to the unrealized P&L column. I tried adding it again through the trader workstation configuration window, but it´s not listed anymore. (right side of the window, "available columns"). so i...

thanks, zltrader, my account is activated now.

had a closer look, it really seems zt has everything i´ve been missing with bt. i was disappointed about the small cell size in the dom, but i just discovered even that can be configured. zltrader, are you the developer of the software? i registered for the forum some days ago, but my...

thanks kiwi, that´s exactly what i wanted to know. i´ll have a closer look at zt this weekend. bt works ok most of the time, but there are some bugs here and there.

i know how the dom works, it´s similar to brackettrader, thats not my question. but brackettrader has a special feature for registered users. when you want to ADD to a already existing position, the brackettrader dom has an extra second column on the side. you click into this extra column, and...

I´ve been using BT with IB for futures-trading. I had a look at Zerolinetrader today. Can anyone tell me if ZT also has a scale-in column in it´s DOM, similar to BT (for registered users), so that one can simply click into the DOM window to add to a position using stop limit orders? I...

It does not matter if he has 1000 dollars, 4000 dollars or 40 000 dollars in his account. When you buy one YM contract, you will have 60 000 dollars at risk, it equals trading with 60 000 dollars worth of stocks. Forget the 4000 dollars. Futures are leveraged products, you only need the...

he has 4000 in his account, he wants to trade the ym and make 60 dollars a day. if he trades one contract of ym, he´ll be moving roughly 12000 x 5 = 60 000 dollars every time he buys or sells, thats what one ym contract is worth. so 60 dollars a day profit equals 0.015 percent per day. the key...

Ok, thanks to all, I checked the IB website, there was a newer version available after all, I updated, no more popup now.

When I login to my IB account, there is a popup "newer version available, please check for updates". I´ve been seeing this message for weeks, even though there is no update available. Any advice?

Sorry, SteveD, but I don´t think you really know what you are talking about. Why would a daytrader trading futures be a gambler, and a daytrader trading stocks be a "real" trader? It makes absolutely no difference what product you trade, as long as you have a valid strategy with positive...

How could you possibly know? Can you predict the future? Obviously this is the result of your backtesting. But how can you be sure this has any value for your future trading? Markets are always changing. What would your results look like if future volatility were low for several years, and...
