LOL. We do know how you hate IB. I thought non-sponsors couldn't advertise like this? Do we have to read this scum as well as puretrick?

I am getting cynical - I hesitate to reply to this thread! TA is anything where you trade not based on some fundamental style of expectation but because of what is seen in the action of prices and volumes. It is the interpretation of price (and for some volume) over time to generate a...

If you want to have a useful discussion on something like this you guys need to be more specific. What version of TWS? What version of Java? What OS are you running? How long is the lock up? What locks up? (note: one at 30 sec and one at 3-4 minutes makes one wonder if these are two...

And rio http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/ is the only decent newspaper in aus. check out the business pages for info.

Realistically this is like trading palladium or something equally exotic. A funny thing about thin markets is that the trends look better. But the costs are right up there too.

Disabling UAC is one of the first things I do with Vista and W7. Unless its a PC for peons and children this stuff is just a pain in the xxxx.

I had stopped trading. I like moderate behaviour (like the morning) and simply don't trade when it goes crazy. I know it costs me some big opportunities but I developed a set of rules around moderate trends and have had to learn to watch 100s of points fly away without me. Kiwis are...

Hell, what a day though. Up 453 points from the opening lows. Then down 601 points to the closing lows. A truly amazing market.

I don't recall whether the orders go direct or not. It was raised here when it originally occurred - IB might have announced it. I will ask elsewhere and post if I find out. Go4, be wary of assuming that because your browser can browse a HK site the connection is suitable for TWS...

Actually it isn't Go4. If you look at your internet connections you'll find you have a link to each IB server farm that you get data from - you log into your nominated host but still get data direct. It used to be that everything came through your chosen host but a while back they gave us...

It was fine in Aus. And I was chatting with a guy in NZ who was also getting ib data. Neither of us experienced any issues. US internet must be going the way of the economy maybe?

HSI has certainly dumped this afternoon. I'm told the Nifty did too. 498 points down from the lunchtime close in all of 35 minutes.

No its not (except in your self-deception). And it has sweet fuck all to do with the thread's question. Just more et shit. On the thread's question: Teaching is both very satisfying and hard at times. Remote teaching is both harder and less satisfying. And organizing to do it is a...

This is the dead cat bounce. After that we find out if 10% is on the cards or not.

It is amazing the fuckwits we see at et. Hint: I don't mean Nkhoi.

Yeah true. The majority of money is happy to just do its thing - just crossing the prairies in their wagons. But some money will take advantage. I confess that if I see an easy area I'll position to enjoy the spoils if a little stop raping takes place.

Its not visible. However its not hard to predict where there will be a supply of liquidity and in the absence of a strong move it is in most participants interest to test such areas and mop you up :)

Austin, Although any tests will give one peak (well most any test) it is based on some definition of optimal. Some of those definitions are great on paper and flawed in reality. If you've done the development it seems you'll also know that: 1. most good systems have broad ranges with...

Actually they are fine for all of the Nikkei futures, HSI, STW, and the european futures. If one cared about bid/ask volume or tick counts you might call them unreliable but the combination of real time data and 5 second (true) data is both reliable and accurate (With Sierra Chart the 5...

Myself: balancing patience and care with doing it.
