no possibility of what? from my expirience (i always used "smart" in the past)-if you are trying to BUY at bid (even on most liquid stock/etf) you ALWAYS will be LAST in line. and will be filled most likely, if someone steps on your bid(ie-the bid will became asking price) .specially true,if...

There is a plenty of reasons for application developer to use demo. I would love to use paper account , but IB likes to complicate things. Limitation to run paper account only on same machine, where your real account running is one of them. Stupidest decision ever. And im sure everyone likes...

no short on demo account? why? just logged into it. i can see (for whatever reason) on demo account some appl options combos- 1 long,one short,but can't establish any short position (for testing my application) on ANY stock.

still arguing about it? :) ----------- ----------- How Realistic? $50k account, $500 / day--------------- i've done it. rarely having daily loss. but that was long time ago. and that "edge" is gone now. it was fun. specially 2008-2009

note trade window right behind account management opened in browser. all days are checked-yet no trade displayed.

i rarely trade these days,but even executing couple passive trades a month is enough to expose those bugs in TWS. have no idea how you guys deal with it on daily basis..latest example. i'm not sure what is going on here at all. PNL shows profit,report-shows loss, trade is not displayed in TWS...

Nah..they never closed. They have multiple offices all over the world. I use to trade a lot and occasionally run into a problems and there is always someone 24/7. If not in US, then HK or office in Europe will pick up the phone (I'm talking about trading related issues) . As for email inquiries-...

Link above working just fine. I Can post you a screen shot of sended inquiry.

Took me about 30 sec to find on my shitty tablet . Took much longer to post it on this messed up site. existing customers contact ib via ticket system. Not sure why you can't find the way to contact them. Plenty of options including chat

Define funds. Most of them imo care less about performance.their game is to collect fees.

---Was just wondering whether it's part of a specific strategy and what that strategy could be.---even if it is a part of someone's strategy,trying to understand why someone is placing 1 order is pretty close to trying to understand why there any order at anytime on whatever security was placed...

Cheap shit is cheap for a reason..I don't know much about otc (and stocks in general) but I think statistically you have better chances not to kill yourself in a process of investing by going "regular"way. I mean- how many successful companies you know that went up from otc to a regular exchange...

But how it will affect IB's TWS? i hope we will see something smaller,faster. something that doesn't require i7 to see a few tickers on PC screen https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/entry/moving_to_a_plugin_free

No, I havent. The stuff I use to trade does not require such precision. It doesnt even require intraday bars :) feel free to do such job yourself. As for outages-big power supply, combined with periodic saving data into something such as binary file (its loading differently, in one shot, not...

---- Best option to use bars is to create and store in your own program during live session and dump copy to disk from time to time.---yep. that was my initial suggestion. dunno about .net vb, but when i need accuracy in my good old VB6 apps- i rely on system clock and good old windows .dll

------I hate to use timer due to past VB experience since it was not accurate and slow down the system.-------- what do you mean by that? how VB timer(or any timer) can slow down the system? maybe it's a poor programming slowing it down? regarding freezes,bad ticks etc-there is TWSAPI group on...

trading signal based on one 15 min bar? you can use both and run cross reference for sake of security\accuracy. reqhistdata should be pretty quick for one record.not sure why you are concerned about sql request time,if you are in such long time frame and requesting only one record.. you can...
