Perceptual distortion is an interesting thing to watch. Bylo may be a re bear and economy bear but you are clearly clutching for anything that will support the view that you are committed to (financially?) We all do it. Its just seldom that it is so clear as in this statement and the...

I think that the live TWS operation is generally more robust than Sim. But bizarre problems can occur with so many bits of software on your pc interacting (ps, thanks to OldTrader, I've upgraded to java 1.6.0_16 and the new tws+java launches faster than the old tws and old java.) Full Auto...

I have just been lying on the floor with my eyes shut, extremely relaxed. TWS is in talky mode so if a trade is entered by Sierra Chart I hear it and get up. It took 3 trades yesterday: +13 points, -45 points, and +172 points. I wouldn't have stayed for 172 points (or -45 actually) if it...

Thanks rwk, Yeah ... I agree ... if you hadn't raised it and Bob hadn't had a solution it would have got me sooner or later. Although it does depend on your strategies specifics and maybe that's why more hadn't raised the issue. Personally I've only been full auto for a week or so after...

Note: I have installed version 898.4 Sept 28, 2009 on Java 1.6.0_14, XP Pro SP3. Will check the error override option and autotrade today. Restore = replace JTS directory if a problem occurs. Configure > API > All API Settings > checked Bypass Order Precautions for API Orders. :)

rwk, Did you look at the suggestion Bob made? FWIW I have found that IB do work with me when I find a problem. They have offered to do so here (privately) so if you have an issue can we get specific and get them to work to resolve for all auto-traders? No comment on password entry...

LOL cstfx, yes, hell does seem to have an icy layer over some of the puddles full of broken non-ib traders, but I also raised a fuss about an earlier mandatory upgrade. I've also gone fully automatic after 5+ years of discretionary trading so something weird is in the water. Kostia, thanks...

According to my source 893 will be the oldest version still supported. Someone who I trust just told me that hes been using the latest version and the latest beta for a while without significant issues. His recommendation is to use the latest version ... but as always to download, wait a...

One of our esteemed members informs me that TWS 890.6 which has been giving a number of us sterling service for some months will be scrapped late this month. Damn and blast it. Now I have the task of finding another good TWS. I've got the last versions of 893, 894 and 895 and I see 897 and...

LOL OP. You sure poke some shite for someone complaining about the value of message boards (you might see your shrink about that old fellow). I still suggest you pm me in 2 years to demonstrate that longevity instead of making unverifiable bb claims.

Although I would love it if IB produced a stripped down TWS (just the features I want please IB - forget these other fucking morons) I can't see it happening. What is more I will add my vote to the "It might be bloated but it has given me zero real problems in the last year+" group.

1. Its the weekend. 2. Another bs poster with a recent join date. Cant spell and can't afford the tools they require to trade apparently. Thats really credible.

Its amazing how someone so new to ET can have such a depth of cynicism. I predict you won't be around in 2 years time - like most who utter such fake profundity you will fail as a trader. Whether or not you post or sup at the bulletin boards. Feel free to pm me in October 2011 and tell me...

The best way to play this strategy is to put it in the "sounds too good to be true" basket and look for something that is tradable. If it was tradable someone would have beat you to it.

Ensign was optimized to run with ES and the US futures and stocks. You'll have minor problems with the european products ... but for heaven's sake stay away from the Asian products or you'll have a disaster.

The second poster will be 100% correct about the engineering (and costs) required. The secondary factor that is easily ignored is that it is cheaper to bribe some officials to take an underspec product (even if the spec looks ok) in some countries than in others. Not pointing any fingers of...

I know that Macs only make up a small proportion of internet connected computers but some of the cyber criminals are starting to see them as a soft target, particularly since rather few Apple fanboys have anything like security software installed. Seems that there is a bounty on your heads...

Yes it is. Its a genuine platform. The other players may not wish to play your game but at least you know it isn't your brokers messing with your head :)

Guys, Getting back to the college theme ... don't forget that Price Action, PA and PASR are all just forms of TA (subsets for you math wizzes).

Lol. Time you went back to college and learnt something this time.
