Never make the mistake of thinking that the US sent men to fight for the Iraqis. That would be naive and I doubt you are that.

Thats likely to be your markets rather than latency in sending them. Perhaps some form of limit order to manager the acceptable slippage. Or use stops so that they are on the server rather than having to add ... delay of data + delay of you + delay of order + server translations to the process.

Not too hot and not a 10. You guys need to spend more time on the beaches of Australia.

This is starting to become like the US market thread of a few years back. I recall that, on stating a few simple observable facts to one on the outside, I was told that, not being American I should stay out of the argument. Funny how biased people get when its housing. There was almost...

Yep. Dumblock is the correct name. Dumblock ... find another broker. IB sure doesn't need you and we, the other ib customers, would be happy to see you fxck off somewhere else.

Yes, just reading dumblock's posts I can see you are right. Please someone, give him the name of another broker so he can leave IB to those with at least half a brain.

I needed some strange stuff done by ib recently so interacted directly with customer service for the first time in 18 months. They were great. Fine. So this thread is just turning into another bs thread with the shills and twats leaping on to whinge about their old and imagined injuries...

Actually the headline for the thread is wrong. Although the magazine article is correct. Even the wording of the post suggests it. It was the worst MAY since 1940 not the worst month.

Why not? Spread Spikey price action If these things don't disturb you then trade them.

My sympathies to friends and family. Clyde was an impressive thinker and a gentleman.

SteveIB, Are we not getting a little screwed up in our thinking here. My understanding from another IB staff member (in HK) is as follows: 1 - you have a home server location (hk, us, eu) and that is where your account resides and you log in 2- when you need data it comes from the...

I've run tws on w7 x64 with both the 32 and 64 bit versions of java. No problems. But. I do check where javaw.exe is located and make sure the command line is pointing at this (I tend to put it in places that Bill never expected). So search for and find javaw.exe and then right click...

Agreed. A lot of brokers have their own charting but it isn't a patch on what I can do with Sierra Chart's base capabilities and programability. And I'm sure esignal or tradestation charting users can achieve similar capabilitity. IB and SC is a nice combo for chart trading and...

Read the history: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/general/about/about.php They started as a trading group. They might well take the other side of your trade (through the market) but this isn't necessarily a bad thing - they don't win 100% of the time either.

You just need to check whether the ip address that TWS is connecting to is in hk. Do this when you are getting hsi data though as it may be connected to a different server at other times. If connected to hk then one of the IB addresses will have the domain .hk (two if you have recently...

Luiz Inacio Lula da Who? Funny how Time Magazine can be the nail in the man of the year's coffin. Once again no doubt.

You might tell your responders some more about your trading so that any recommendations fit. How many screens in future? How much do you watch at once? How fast must you respond ... etc? I mean the pc looks like total overkill for trading especially if you run it back to XP Pro. I...

I went to 20 because the release notes suggested enhanced performance and I've not yet found following java releases (I tend to install a couple of weeks after release) to be risky. But I don't launch my account from TWS frequently so that aspect isn't a big issue to me.

You choose not to get it. There is nothing of substance to accept.

Actually lots of countries permit the resumption of some poor sucker's property. Very common. And for the Iranian offer ... Lol ... publicity stunt.
