I never used to think she was all that, especially on a network stacked with hotties (many of whom have left for some reason). But, I started recording Squawk Box every day, and seeing Becky on a daily basis, especially showing off her legs on the Chairs segment, has got me jonesing for her now.

Hi DAV. Someone in IB api tech support told me that the TwsActiveX.xlsm file was tested with Excel 64-bit and that there are no known issues. But, when I try to open up the file I get a compile error referring to a declare statement. I emailed a screen print of the error to the api team to...

Anyone?

I may need to upgrade to Excel 64-bit in order to handle increasingly larger backtest/analysis files (>150MB) that seem to cause 32-bit to constantly crap out (I always get the annoying message "Excel does not have enough resources to complete your request"). The problem is, I also use IB's...

If I wanted to trade in a separate account in order to have audited performance for marketing to outside investors, do I have to create an incubator in order for an auditor to evaluate my results, or can I just set up a separate account (joint account with my partner)? Do auditors or outside...

Anyone know of a data vendor for survivor-bias-free mutual fund historical data? The only one I know of is CRSP, but they charge an arm and a leg. Thanks!

Sorry. I assumed that scalping by definition was a reversion strategy.

I think I will just go by overall losses for the day. Just stop trading for the remainder of the day and take off.

That's an interesting idea. I wonder if that check can be automated?...

So the events of last Thursday convinced me that any automated scalping strategy would've gotten burned that day had it continued trading through the massive moves in the market. Are there any "circuit breaker" indicators that people use to determine that a major move is occuring and that...

I was surprised that in all the discussion about the housing bubble, the financial crisis and derivatives, that he would single out individuals trading index futures for speculation as what should be banned. http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1483967932&play=1 It's in the latter third...

When I try to trade the ES or NQ, IB's order types don't include REL anymore. Anyone have any idea why that's the case? And if there is no REL order type, is there a way of duplicating it using the existing order types? Thanks for any insight.

It does call into question any news outlet that might try to let its viewers know why a stock is on the move. Bloomberg and CNBC come to mind. I'm somewhat torn because although I understand that these analysts have proprietary material and there are copyright issues, on the other hand analyst...

The small investor gets screwed yet again.... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052748703523204575130093464131302.html MARCH 19, 2010 Web Site Barred From Fast Release Of Ratings NEW YORK—A federal judge ruled that the Web site Theflyonthewall.com misappropriated the...

Thanks cstfx. I stand corrected. So it looks like you start saving money as soon as you get up to >300 contracts/mo, which is a much lower threshold than I had thought. Also, thanks for the idea on getting ECM privileges. Is that something that you can do through IB, or do you have to...

Based on what I can find on IBs website, it only makes sense to go unbundled if you trade >10k ES and NQ contracts/month: $1.14 CME Globex fee + $0.35 IB Execution fee + $0.10 IB Clearing fee + $0.10 IB Carrying fee + ----------------------------------...

This was on the weekly email from Greencompany... This tax idea is being embroiled into related stories on a banker bonus tax in the UK, financial reform, TARP, Main Street vs. Wall Street and more. Bills have been presented to pass a financial-transaction tax in the House and Senate (soon)...

Looks like I might've found the answer to my own question: http://ibkb.interactivebrokers.com/node/568 Will open futures contracts roll over automatically at expiration? Please note that futures contracts, by default, do not roll over at expiration. The TWS trading platform, however...

I'm still a novice wrt futures, but can anyone out there tell me if I roll over an index future contract to the next expiry, do I get charged a new commission? Is that considered a sale followed by a purchase? Thanks for any insight!

Bizarre. I just reposted on the Trading page and now that thread was outright deleted. WTF?
