I did not even try that. I knew why.... :D

Ok, I just called the Helpdesk in Switzerland. The problem is known to IB, they are working to solve it, but there is no estimate of time when it will be solved (my guess: after the US-Boys have started to work). They recommend to restart and re-login to the TWS: then the data should download.

What version of TWS are you using? I upgraded to 917.8 and seem to have problems now with IDEALPRO data.

Does anyone know when this news has been released on Bloomberg/Reuters etc? I saw German Bunds go up 30 ticks in one move at 9:30 CET (3.30 EST), see screenshot. They started to go really crazy around 15:00 CET (9:00 EST). I guess some pigs are more equal than others?

I'm using one of these Shuttle Barebones myself and my experience is very mixed: Performance, noise etc. is ok. But after one year of daily use my PC crashed and turned out to be kaputt beyond repair. The seller replaced it with a new barebone, but the whole operation took 4 long weeks...

You should try the demo: with one click you submit an order (buy or sell) with stopp-loss and target-order attached to your opening order. No need to click seperately to set your stopp or target. In short, you use a bracket-order, something most tools offer now. As to SierraChart: again I can...

IB offers a gateway access now, there is no need to run TWS itself. I did not try it, but have a look at this thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=193564

I'm using ButtonTrader myself (futures) and so I'm a bit baffled by your statement. ButtonTrader offers a one-click operation and works for most tickers right out of the box. Could you please explain what you mean by having to click too many boxes? If you are more into (intra-day)...

IB perfectly fits your needs: commission is 1.21€ per side, no problem funding your account with GBP and trading securities denominated in other currencies. And this 30 USD inactivity fee? Are you kidding?

Here is an example of today's pre-trading: the tickchart to the right shows the ESTX50 future, the one to the left the Bund Future. Orange ticks are pre-open ticks, indicating the open price netting from orders entered till then. Blue ticks present real trades. The Bund had not yet opened...

OK, they have started trading now. A 20-minute delay only so far.
