No, that wasn't very funny. Pretty idiotic actually.

It allows you to execute a trade with a push of a button(s). I recommend setting up the Control key (or another key) in conjunction with a letter or number if you chose to execute the trade immediately versus having to Transmit it as a second step.

Hey Swoop. In any posts that I've read, Ditch has always come across as a stand up guy. If this system is the one he's pulling in a good amount of ES points and he's willing to share it then I applaud him. And shame on someone who takes the system and doesn't test it before putting their money down.

Today was my first day trading with TWS. I must say that I'm impressed with the speed of the executions and the hot keys. It seems faster than my old broker who charged a premium for their executions and platform for 1/2 the functionality and speed. I've asked these question to 2 IB reps and...

Configure, Order on the pulldown menu. Bottom 2 selections w/ the latest build.

From using the Demo, it looks like the Auto Stop resides on IB's servers. Is there any way to get a Stop Limit placed when a position is entered using one hotkey? The only options I see are Auto Stop, Auto Trailing Stop, and Bracket. I would like my stops on the Globex servers.

What really irks me about this whole thing is the way the Bush administration has gone about this war. I believe Hussein is a dangerous man who needs to be removed, but it seems to me Bush is using the war to steer away from issues such as the economy, the markets, corporate fraud, and Cheney's...

If you use the full version of Microsoft Outlook you can alarm calendar appointments.

I'm interested to know how everyone does with Ensign using the IQ Feed since I currently use eSignal and think it's overpriced for what I use it for. I don't even have the ability to look at equities and I'm paying ~$266 a month. Hopefully IQ Feed will put competitive pressure on eSignal to...

Right now I show 18 routers and who knows how many switches between my site (Atlanta, GA) and your router. There is bound to be some type of packet loss throughout the day with this many devices retransmitting the packets, I'm surprised that TWS isn't more tolerant of packet loss. Right now...

Def, At what level of packet loss does TWS disconnect and then re-establish the connection. I was disconnected today as well but my Ensign and all other applications continued to be solid. I would imagine that the packet loss would have to be significant otherwise TWS would be bouncing quite...

Should have added that I often times use a manual trailing stop so I usually get stopped out of at least the last contract:D

Ouch, Heavy Metal??? You must be a scalper...

It's not so time consuming if you set Ensign's Playback to regular speed until you see your setup and enter a position (if you're using the simulator). Then turn up the playback to +3 or 4 times regular speed until you're stopped out.

What do you mean by clean up filled / cancelled orders?

This happened to me when it occurred to me that what I was trying to do for a living is a form of gambling. I had doubts on wether my edge was valid. You need to make sure you have an edge and that you are 100% confident in it, otherwise the market will eat you up. Try trading on a simulator...

Make sure you do a total backup and confirm your hardware is compatible for Windows XP if that's the OS you choose to install. I don't think you can go wrong with either OS, I run both and they are both very solid for me. I would lean towards XP Pro since that is the OS that's newer and the...

Woody is definitely a class act. I don't use his system but he earns kudos from me for taking the time to help out everyone in his trading room.

:D VERY funny comment Profitseer!!

The catch is that if you don't trade them the right way you go to the poor farm much faster than trading equities.
