    BEST_ECN Missing?

    I think we should create some pressure here in case IB removed BEST_ECN due to TimberHill routing. I do not think this is the "fine english way" here. However, if IB gives a _credible_ reason, why they removed BEST_ECN, i am of course willing to respect it.

    hello guys, before this thread exceeds 10x its estimated length at creation, first: unfortunately, i was not able to get the password from any source. therefore, any claims of potential copyright infringements are useless. and yes, i have already switched to other data vendors (RealTick +...

    the *.h files hang around in .../jts/SocketClient/src, which of course should be in your include path. off topic: since this is really a basic issue you shoud - maybe, only my advise - dig a little bit into c programming before starting of with auto order entry

    Trading Maxims/Quotes

    bid, ask, level II is all a great _game_! only the print matters. only matched trades show the real intentions market participants have, everything else can look like gold but it may turn out as the last crap.

    Why do patterns fail?-makes no sense

    maybe patterns have worked in the past. i cannot verify this. but markets have changed. electronic trading of most participants makes up a different market overall. there are more participants today and they are more hectic, resulting in more erratic markets. patterns and standard indicators are...
