lol JayS :)

the beta version is ALWAYS the internet explorer version. It is a beta therefore you should not use it for real trading. It is there for testing and see new features to come. Usually the internet version of JTWS is updated next once the beta is approved by IB and then, the standalone version...

As far as I know, FAT32 is faster.. and, guess what, FAT(16) is even faster ! The trouble is FAT16 sucks. For FAT32 it has less features than NTFS and it is understandable it is slightly faster. anyway, it does not matter that much. NTFS makes more sense on a server when security / auditing...

IB simulator is not using live data, but recorded data. So your trading method has to be tape reading otherwise the simulator is useless [well you can learn how to use TWS, that was their goal].

well, my experience is I could ALWAYS sell short at bid. It is true QQQ is so volatile maybe the uptick rule was fullfilled. But I don't think so, as far as I remember, I did chase it down once or twice [although I should not !]. Again, this on Island only of course. neo

if you did not do a search yet, look at this thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=1654 mytrack is good for simulation, unlimited [but the commissions are based on their brokerage of course]. Cybercorp is good but you need an account there so the simulator is...

no uptick rule for QQQ and other holders at IB. Use the island routing [or instinet]. island is the best unless you move a lot volume. never use AMEX or BEST. neo

Well... I know the solution, for you all out there. Although not many complained about it. The problem comes from the page. If you create a new page everything is alright. So it is my old page which has some corrupted data somewhere. Also, try to change in the menu settings, 'contract...

Hi Def, I am sorry to report it is a bug. The list of stock/routes does appear with a friend login in TWS on my machine, but not with my account. so that's probably the same problem the fellow trader experienced with its setup. Maybe it is because this JTWS is installed for a very long...

well, Build 696 does suck for symbol entry.. Try adding AMGN as a symbol. I can't add AMGN with default BEST_ECN or any other for that matter. If I type AMGN or INTC with NASDAQ as exchange it works but this sucks. I prefer the list with all possibilities that all previous TWS used...

Hi, Maybe that's a question for Def. Is it normal the standalone version is not available for upgrade [ie v696] while the web version is. I know the web version is always up to date and you need to manually request to update the standalone. I don't mind the manual process, actually I...

Selling into the break out is known as 'turtle soup'. This is explained on several web sites.. Sorry I don't have much time right now to reply more. Maybe P2 can fill you in. When you think about it, it is the logical thing to do in certain market conditions. Not today ! [july 12] but any...

it depends on your time frame. But recently there is a lot of turtle soup made ! :) so breakouts seldom work on Naz imho at the moment. But that's not surprising. in a trending market [again depending on your time frame] breakouts are fine, but in a directionless or corrective market...

Zarrar, Automated systems do not seek 100% accuracy. That's the point most people missed on several threads about this subject. No trading should seek 100% accuracy, this is a myth and can not be achieved imo. However, automated systems work and are used everyday. You are right about...

check out this thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=1553 also, http://www.mytrack.com/ offers a good simulator [register for their realtime data feed and the simulator works like a real brokerage account during the day]. there are very few good simulators for...

the only thing I don't like is how difficult it is to hear about IB. It is purely by chance [and someone's referral] I heard about the broker. I would have saved a lot of money ! IB is very good. Somehow, I feel better if not too many know about it. Usually companies, even very good...

come on Steve or David, This can't be, otherwise IB would not have any customers.. Please explain what happened to you in details, maybe we can help. vpiNeo

Dan, Let's try my french. IB est une super plateforme. Pour l'essayer voici l'url http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/tws/demo2.html# Best ECN est tres bien. Pour bien profite de IB, utiliser HOTKEYS. Tres stable, IB a rarement des arrets. Au debut il faut bien lire ce qu'il y a...

I think it is OK to wonder. You also did specify you are new to the site. You could not possibly know rtharp is one of the respected visitor among many others. When there is hyping moderators try to point it out. Usually we are late and other members call hypers for what they are, without...

eSignal does offer eurex data, so you can get realtime dax and other futures.
