    what java are you running with tws?

    I'm running latest tws and java 1.6 20 and note that I have the same issue. However I'm going to stick with 20 - the important stuff seems fine.

    2. was a later question but given your ambiguity about horizontal S&R I'm not sure that there is a number two. Cheers :)

    "The only way to trade with Fibonaccis" journal

    Welcome back 1a2b3cppp, Hope the problems were not too major. I've been reading your other thread and I wanted to approach fibs a little differently. But to do so I need to know what you believe to be true about the markets. 1. Do you believe that horizontal support and resistance has...

    What's Worse: Missing the Move Entirely or Giving All Your Profit Back?

    which brings me to my absolutely absolute opinion of what is worse: The worse one is the one where you didn't obey your own rules. Moves come and go, and we can never control them, but we can and must control ourselves if we want to be traders.

    Brazil and the New Economic Miracle. The U.S. Has a Lot to Learn!

    LOL ... you one eyed idiot. The US chose corn because it makes lots of corn Australia chose sugar cane because it makes lots of sugar cane. And why do we think Brazil uses sugar cane? Because of smart generals? No, for the same reason Australia did. What an idiot.

    I Have Not Been Able To Exclude The Possibility Of BLACK MONDAY 04/26

    I don't know why I'm bothering but ... Look at the other black xxxdays. What proportion of them were preceded by higher highs? Or were the big ones preceded by a lower high ... that failed into a large down day? The best predictor of higher highs continues to be bear posts on ET (and...

    Brazil and the New Economic Miracle. The U.S. Has a Lot to Learn!

    Its funny. After not coming to this board for a while I arrive, see the heading and know instantly who the spruiker is - The mad man from Brazil. I shall remember him in 2015 ... history is always a lot more accurate 5 years down the track than when the promoters write it in real time.

    IB offering gateway access (API without TWS)

    TWS really shouldn't crash your computer and would prompt me to: - make sure I had the latest java (-20) - check all my display drivers were current.

    Best Automated Software with IB?

    It looks like its free ... interestingly they recommend using Sierra Chart to display playback data (for trials I think?). Sierra is now quite well suited to automating IB trading though.

    IB offering gateway access (API without TWS)

    Another note for IB software. 5 second data is backfilled by the gateway but doesn't seem to continue (tested on hsi). Repeated test between the tws version and gateway version ... and tws worked but gateway didn't.

    IB - epic failure today

    I think that the issues have to be genuinely "epic" to reach that screen. I recall some a few years back but small group issues probably don't get there.

    IB - epic failure today

    Tradism is an et member in the famous twat/shill mode. Almost every post is a whinge about ib with nothing of value contributed. epic ... lol ... should go sit on a volcano to get a decent sense of epic.

    IB offering gateway access (API without TWS)

    To IB. Having experimented with it a little, two things: 1. The logs need to show when the dark format is chosen. 2. It would be useful to have a log version that just shows order activity (including place, change, and fills). For someone who is partially automatic it is useful to be...

    IB offering gateway access (API without TWS)

    Just tried it out with Sierra Chart. For anyone who missed how you use it/run it. Download and install TWS 904 In the Interactive Brokers menu in you'll find both TWS and the new IB Gateway. Click the second one. Run just like TWS, changing the API socket to 7496 if you want to...

    "The only way to trade with Fibonaccis" journal

    1. Read the whole thread. Why should the op bother to reply to you if you can't be bothered doing the work? 2. Then you can answer the question of which extensions were used and if the OP believes in them. There is a hint here. and to MoreYummy: you might just read the last couple of...

    Grinding it out, day after day

    Actually even multi-market doesn't stop the odd losing streak. Its just statistics ... if you trade a system consistently ... there are bad streaks. The number of bad streaks relates to win rate or perhaps to "not big loss" rate as suggested by lescor's "find a way to recognize these...

    Is China actually bankrupt?

    The question begged though is: how does a couple of hundred billion cause a problem for multiple trillion? I don't want to argue with achillies about the ability of China to generate surpluses if America and Europe go belly up and protectionist (hint, the indian middle class won't do it).

    IB new security features- makes me mad!

    A thread started by a half wit 2 years ago. And added to be another half wit. God, IB just are too unselective. Don't accept so many fuckwit customers IB - you are guilty of permissiveness!

    Grinding it out, day after day

    lescor, Good to see your thread. Sad to see the likes of the previous poster still haunts ET but I guess we just add another halfwit to the ignore list.
