KyivTrader, thank you for your detailed explanation! Unfortunately, pretty disturbing. I already had got the impression, that there is no real large network backbone, like you have many in the western world, by L3, ex.Worldcom or Deutsche Telekom. This is probably the source of the...

While we are at it: What about London Metal Exchange ? (LME Select System) If they really bring on a Steel contract, it shoud get double priority.

Hi Pabst, nice to know you are around there.Appreciate your input. I use proprietary software, so nothing less than a fast private line, directly online in front of me or some office for 24 hours, will do. I am beginning to think this is really difficult, maybe somebody has information on...

No, otherwise I would know. But I am planning to buy a nice condo or some mansion in the next few years. If anyone can recommend a good network provider (ISP) with an english site, please post it here.

Hello Traders from the Ukraine, I need to know if it's possible to get a reasonable internet access in Kiev or Odessa, possibly ADSL or Cable. All I have until now is a quote for a fixed/leased line - priced at $800 for 256 kb bandwidth - that must be a joke. Thanks for your replies !

Def, could you make a statement what IB is targeting at in bidding for Ref ? Do you primarily want just Ref's operating business and their customers or do you want to integrate Ref's stuff into your ops? I understand that the last word has not been spoken here, just what's your basic...

Their main portal, www.refco.com is down ? WTF ?? Anyone able to access ?

NYSE Halt: I wouldn't wonder if they are already bankrupt. Traders I spoke to the last day are pulling their funds out at lightspeed.

looks more like some middle/back office group or some traders checking out tickets and fill reports

But even insider info might not help you when trading OTCBB: I worked for an european derivatives desk, it was in 1999 or 2000, there was a Bulletin Board Stock (or pink sheet, whats the difference, don't remember), unfortunately I don't remember the name, that went from $5 to $27 in 2 or 3...

newbunch, the problem occurred first yesterday, I think. Or the day before, but not earlier. When calculating the yield from ZN, you need to consider cash interest and ZN days to expiration as well. I am not really good with theoretical bonds and options stuff, so better ask sbdy else.

There is an error in index calculation directly at the source, the CBoE. All data vendors who do not their own calculations are subject to these wrong quotes. I hope CBoE gets this fixed soon, it messes up my charts. In the meantime, you may want to switch over to FVX, as TYX is...

Ok, that's all for EurexUS. Obviously they will not attract any liquidity with their currency futures. And no, it's not too early to say this. No need for further experiments, like cash settled Brent or something. I'm pretty confident they gonna shut down this thing, maybe in 2006. Unsure...

To make the scanner work for options would not be a nice idea as well. But execution comes first, of course.

:eek: :eek: Seems they try to do something right this time. --------------------------------------------------- Eurex, the world's largest derivatives exchange, today announced that a total of 20 market makers have signed on to provide liquidity when trading commences in foreign exchange...

Mr.NBBO, look at the date of the first post. You see this thread is even older. I just wanted sbdy at IB to notice. I know TRAC & Barry and think they deserve some brokers looking at them.

Did anyone of IB's reps here read ?

Uhmmm... nice "uptrend" that week! However, that was no call, but some forwarded "insider information". Next time I hear the word, I will post again here. Maybe these anomalies will dissolve some day when really everybody knows.

IB reps, I really didn't expect you to stick to the auto logoff so hard, but uhmm..., ok. BUT PLEASE FIX THIS BUG: When the TWS is connected to an (Socket-) API client, it crashes on exit (not in every case). When you close TWS main window (no matter if via Menu, ALT-F4 or even...

IMO VERY IMPORTANT Please give the ability to disable the Auto Logout "Feature" or remove it altogether. It makes no sense anymore for retail customers and it is unnerving me at least 10 times a month with it's popup windows just to ask me to move it from 4 AM to 3.50 AM or vice versa...
