Actually, you are right. These MF'ers even put it in his contract. I don't remember Enron's shell paying for Skilling and Lay's defense but looks like MF Global went one better for their CEO. "(d) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as it presently exists or...

I don't believe that MF Global would cover his legal fees in the event of criminal charges only civil litigation and even then he would probably pay for his own attorney anyway to represent his interests and not the company's (he's not hurting for the money apparently either). If he is...

It works good. I trade with Velocity and the TT feed w/ Sierra is an excellent combo.

I'm glad I could help. Luckily I still had that 906 version for Windows so it worked out well. I've been using TWS UNIX version ever since 906/908 so I don't keep up with the Windows versions anymore.

The only older version I have is 906. I don't know if it is an upgrade or full version but you are welcome to try it either way. Here is the link: https://rapidshare.com/files/2166649338/tws_906.exe

I'll look and see. Probably not but I will check.

Larry William's account statement charted. The Moon is where his two million dollar mark was. Goog guess? Ooops, I mean good guess?? :)

Glad I could help. I happen to collect old TWS versions because I never seem to be on the latest release and probably never will. They come in handy, especially when you find a solid one that works!

I have TWS 908 for Windows. Let me know how I can send it to you. I can try and email to you. The file is over 20mb. I use Gmail which should be able to handle it.

Ok, this is helpful. You probably want to upgrade your RAM at some point or in the meantime reduce the number of symbols you are using in TWS. Running TWS with 2gb is really bare bones if you subscribe to a lot of symbols and especially if you have other stuff running also it is probably going...

What version of TWS are you on? I've had very few disconnection/reconnection issues so far with 918. Also, it is very strange that you would have to reboot. What happens when you try and close TWS? This may also be a memory issue, especially if TWS is hanging so bad you have to reboot. How...

Sounds like you may have an issue with your Internet provider then. I haven't experienced any random disconnects with IB recently. Try these hot-keys also the next time it happens and see if it reconnects without restarting TWS: For Reconnect - Ctrl-Alt-R, For data Farm(s) - Ctrl-Alt-F.

I'm afraid that until IB stops with their daily/nightly disconnections this will always be a problem. I have tried several times to find a way around this but unfortunately there is no way to avoid it. I could understand performing a disconnection when markets are closed but IB insists on also...

There are many ways to hedge yourself using the second account if your primary broker is down. If you are long a basket of stocks that are not readily shortable you could short the index futures and cover yourself temporarily until you were able to get back up for instance. You do not need the...

move your account but I would have at least two separate accounts at different brokers. All brokers have outages at some point in time. What a reasonable frequency and duration of these outages is debatable (I would not tolerate more than a couple of times a year personally!) but this situation...

Data security is an issue no matter where you put your server. I would feel no more safe with my data even if it was at broker (maybe less so). Amazon is not in the business of trading and could care less about your "secret" system.There is always a risk no matter where it is, even on your home...

It depends on the platform and size of server you choose (and of course how much you use it). EC2 is pay as you go so if you aren't using the service there is no charge. Windows servers are more expensive and start at around $0.29 per hour for a decent sized box. Medium sized Linux servers are...

Also, check out Amazon EC2. It is an inexpensive alternative to a physically hosted server. Running a single medium sized server (dual-core equivalent with around 2gb RAM) full-time would probably run around $80-$100 per month. You can size the resources based on your needs however. There are...

Yes, but you would have to buy a license of their Personal Edition before it is included. It is pretty cheap so I stand corrected. Just don't use the free version and think it is secure.
