    45 Million iPads in 2011? Don't Bet on It

    There is something in the comments about it defaulting to the Chinese android market... hmmm red flag... maybe will wait a few months but this is where things are going... either way, IPad is way overpriced and will start getting squeezed by lower priced manufacturer independent Android tablets...

    Will PC trading software migrate to ipad?

    I did a little more research on something called J2ME Runner that is used for eSignal conversion you mentioned above. It claims you can run jar files and J2ME Runner will convert to Android runtime code on the fly without the source code. "Install jar/jad files on android device with an...

    Will PC trading software migrate to ipad?

    No, not yet I'll give it a try and see if it will work. If I can get a second login id from IB that will not logoff my existing account when I connect through TWS this would be very useful. I'll let you know if I have any success. edit: This doesn't seem very feasible without the TWS source...

    Rick Sanchez Fired By CNN

    lesson: don't f with Jon Stewart. Ask Tucker Carlson. Also ask I'd like to know who is powerless, Rick Sanchez, or the guy he struck and killed with his car in Miami while driving drunk after an NFL football game in 1990. Sanchez fled the scene, returned later but served no jail time and did not...

    Smart phone friendly Elite trader?

    Couple of things: 1) The text is too small for a mobile browser. You have to re-zoom every page even after adjusting the page view from the home page. 2) The navigation links are too small. Trying to hit the "go to last post" or page number links on a smart phone is 50/50 at best. Usually...

    Smart phone friendly Elite trader?

    Any plans for this in the near future? Browsing and posting on here from an iOS or android device is not very easy. Thanks.

    Will PC trading software migrate to ipad?

    Future headline - "NY POST: Man struck and killed by vehicle near 5th Avenue" Walking and trading just seems like a really bad idea. I think the usefulness of trading on the go from an iPad is a novelty at best. Do people really carry around iPads with them when they go out of the house...

    Will PC trading software migrate to ipad?

    I've used WebTrader on Droid X and it works fine. I mainly use my phone to remote into my trading computer, not trade, and in a view only mode. I wouldn't be using it to trade except in an emergency. Maybe once IB has a Android app it will be more feasible but I don't think it will replace...

    Did IB hike the commission?

    Looks like the fee according to ICE's recent cost schedule was 94 cents for member firms. Their website PDF under the TF page still shows .94 as the rate. There is your 20 cent increase. Hmmm why so sneaky with this rate change? This makes TF somewhat less competitive to ES for sure. I thought...

    "Trend Following" Book; FREE Kindle Version

    Thanks Michael. I grabbed it also and added to the growing list of free good books to read. Just got the Kindle and it is great. I call it the "anti-iPad" because it is so cheap and does ebooks very well but that's about it. It has a browser but is only good for very basic and limited surfing...

    Who wins a currency war?

    There is something called "conscription" that is "non-negotiable and compulsory" during times of war. Labor will not be a problem and the money never runs out so long as a sovereign government controls the printing press... just worth less. Whether those who serve get paid with anything worth...

    Who wins a currency war?

    Hey, at least the US Govt spent most of our currency on weapons and weapon systems. could come in handy during that. :eek:

    Interactive Brokers Journal / Log

    You can try the Flex report in IB. There is also a handy little database style app called Trading Diary Pro that I found. It can read the flex file from IB and automatically imports all the trades. It has a number of canned reports and graphical reports which are somewhat useful. What I do...

    Computers set for quantum leap

    More practical for us is that computer they are building in Belgium with the bank of NVIDIA GPUs. It will bring supercomputing power to the desktop level in just a few years and the cost will be a fraction of traditional supercomputers. The beast below runs Windows XP-64 but you could also run...

    button trader

    I definitely recommend using a third party software to connect to TWS so you are on the right track. Button Trader is nice software but pricey (starts at ~$40/mo for "lite" version). BracketTrader is cheap in comparison (~$100 for full usage and upgrades) and works well as an alternative. I...

    IB--Time based exit question

    This is relatively easy to setup automatically with an external order entry system like Sierra Chart for instance but natively in TWS I'm not sure about. I know that there are fields for start time and end time so it should be possible. I have done this before manually in TWS by sending a market...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    I live in SC and he is an embarrassment to the whole state (not that we need much help in this dept!) and the country. Hopefully after Nov he will not be in this job...This will give him more time to contemplate why the James E. Clyburn University Transportation Center cannot account for...

    Blue Water Sailors...Help Please

    Buy a boat you can live on comfortably full-time if you are really serious about this. This is the best way to learn quickly and you will meet tons of people this way also who can show you the ropes. Do not buy a boat if you are just interested in learning to sail and are only a weekend hobbyist...

    need a trading engine

    When you are charging by the hour I would estimate it would take AT LEAST another 40 hours to determine you are dealing with a loser :) . Problem is, you (the client) may not have any money left to trade with even if it turns out to be a good strategy. Advice: limit the number mouths you feed...

    Instead of soupkitchen lines we have this.

    out of my short play on AAPL position here... not wanting to sit through earnings next week small win but not the big decline I was looking for back in June. suffered little to no heat on this trade from 270 but going forward looks like downside is more limited than upside...rather take a small...
