Sorry no, at the moment you get no audio confirmation, when an action is taken. But its a good idea and I will add it to the ToDo list, to add this feature in the future. croc

arzoo, the minichart in FuturesTrader is just that a minichart. Its not designed to replace a chartprogram. FuturesTrader prints the chart when its online, when there is a time off, it can't request historical data, as IB does not deliver them. Chris

Hi, if you take a look at the subject of this thread, I state clearly, that Futures-Trader is a Simulator for papertrading. And I think I also make it clear on my Website, that the Simulator is free for everyone to use as long as they wish. So I don't think, I'm misleading anyone or hiding true...

Hi, I just wanted to let the group know, that I made again some enhancements to FuturesTrader, which might be of interest to you. Take a look at www.Futures-Trader.net Croc FT 1.60 / V1.62 Added a Trade Evaluation module. Click on <Eval> and take a look. Objective and subjective...

Hi, this Version 1.60 incorporates some ideas I got from users, who gave me their feedback or asked for specific things to be added. Special thanks to clueless, who gave me the idea and Fitzy and R7, whose Tradespreadsheet I used to develop the Tradeevaluation module in Futures-Trader. I...

FT V1.58 Futures-Trader now detects the Interactive Brokers API version installed on your computer. If you try to run the "wrong" Futures-Trader version for your API, you will get a warning and the steps to get you going will be shown. The Version number in the right bottom corner now...

Hi, just wanted to let everyone know, that Futures-Trader now also supports Papertrading Stocks. It will use simulated iceberg orders for any order of more than 1000 shares. So don't be surprised, if you see partial fills. I also changed the Demo-Orderfill routine: If the market goes...

Hi Nas, yes I do the programming myself. And I'm also doing programming for hire. Normally I'm calculating a project on a per hour basis and giving you a fixprice for the project. Send me an Email to croc1964@web.de if your interested. croc

Spark, the Demoticker from IB often does not update prices, while Bid/Ask tick. Try a market order. This should give you an instant fill at the Ask, if going Long or the Bid if going short. Check if the T&S is updating and if you see prices in the Watchlist. If there is only 0, then you...

Hi, I just wanted to let the group know, that I posted a Simulator for papertrading any kind of futures. Its using the IB datafeed, so if IB has it, u can papertrade it through Futures Trader realtime. If you have Ensign, you can even use the Playback datafeed to trade Playback files with...

Anyone using ESignal Datafeed for trading DAX or Eurostoxx 50 should really have a look at Ensign software (www.ensignsoftware.com). I was missing Tick-Volume on DAX and Eurostoxx Charts, as ESignal did not have them. But they do update the TotalVolume info with every Tick. So I asked the...

IB updates its quotes every .7 seconds. Therefore trading Eurostoxx 50 or DAX, you normally won't miss a lot with IB. It's totally different when trading ES-Minis. If a Tradeprogram hits the market, you won't get a fill with IB's quotes (unless you enter at the Market), as the market more often...

I have one idea to add to the discussion for all, who find ESignal's standard charts not really adequate to trade with, and don't want to switch to Advanced charts for 50/60$ more. I've been using ESignal together with Ensign Software http://www.ensignsoftware.com, which really was a great...

As a former Cybertrader I can confirm that IB's margin policy is much more relaxed than Cybers. At Cyber, if you get a margin call in a Pattern Daytrader account, you need to meet the call within 3 days. During these 3 days the account is restricted to cash trades only (no shorts). If after 3...
