    Broker with Euro based Accounts

    I would like to create a list of Retail brokers that give you the option to open an account in Euro's. I think a lot of European trader will be interested .... Due to the movements in the Euro versus the US Dollar, European traders have to deal with this risk as well. Please also add the...

    API's

    Let's first start with a complaint.... I really like the IB API, but as far as I know, there's a SYMBOL limit of 40 symbols. And this includes the symbols you're viewing in your TWS. I think this really is a problem when working with the API. I would like to use their API for the purpose...

    ping

    Sorry, no I don't have it. But perhaps it's somewher on the platform (look for server settings, this will be an IP nr most likely, but you can ping it as well) Or you can just ask tech support, they'll know.

    NQ/ES Pair Trading

    I don't say the NQ is the leading one. When you trade stock spreads you have no different point value (if XXX moves 1 ct it's the same as YYY moving 1 ct) In futures this is different : If ES moves 1 point the value of this move is $50 vs $20 for every point NQ moves So don't look at...

    Ping times for Dialup/Broadband users

    I'm no expert, so excuse me if I wrote something wrong in my above post but what I meant to say is this : If I (from Europe) do a tracert to a US server, I see most time is needed to cross the ocean (of course). Perhaps the word "delay" was used wrong (I'm not a native speaker) and should be...

    Ping times for Dialup/Broadband users
