Wouldn't it be smart to parallel your efforts rather than coming back upset when the leased line doesn't fix it? email ibapi pm dcraig God helps those who help themselves ... and faster if you do all the work without procrastination.

The only reason a particular bar time will work is because it is followed by a large number of traders and thus its edges become important. The old self(=lots of selves) fulfilling prophecy. Personally I think you have to study what you want to trade and the time of day you plan to trade to...

The application is platform independent (written in java) But there is something between the platform and the application - the java virtual machine (jvm). And it converts java to machine code etc in a very platform dependent way. So on w7x64 you install both the 32 bit and 64 bit...

Don't forget Sierra Chart which provides a C++ based dll interface and a huge amount of flexibility. Plus one of the most responsive programming teams out there if you come up with something useful that isn't already there. I think you'll find its memory / cpu efficiency superior to some...

Let's forget about the utility of not displaying distractions when on the web. Lets forget that when an advert is not displayed, if its not downloaded either then it your page is displayed faster resulting in increased user satisfaction and lower internet usage. Actually that's the funny...

You don't appear to get it winston. Adblock plus, etc are not about security, they are about tailoring your web experience to suit yourself. For example, adblock+ takes out all the adverts then I use adblock+ element hiding helper to remove elements of pages I frequently visit that I don't...

I use chrome as my primary ... because the way adblock plus and adblock+ element hiding helper perform on chrome suits me better. But I run a variant of ff9 as my backup. Try Pale Moon if you like firefox. FF has to run on all the old processors so it isn't fully optimized for new ones. PM...

I like to run everything silent so I'm keen on the power reduction. Also I don't need the upgrade now so waiting is good self-discipline training :)

Have you checked: 1. TWS's log files 2. Any order entry software's log files 3. Call / Chatted IB and asked them to bring up their logs for you. It seems more likely that you misread than that they f'd up but if they did then it will be in either their logs or yours. Yours are on...

OK. That was easy. Easeus Todo is pretty easy to setup but has the following disadvantages. - the image backups are over 1/3rd bigger than the macrium reflect ones and it doesn't give you a "save this backup config" options - the file backup is no where near as comprehensive as cobian...

That Easus todo package looks excellent. I've been using Macrium Reflect for images and Cobian for back up but I'll have a look at this one and report back. It looks like it might replace the other two if it performs to the advertising.

You are making an assumption that "consolidating 75% of the time" implies an XX% chance that when price exceeds the daily range by YY points then it will return. Maybe one statement doesn't imply the other in which case stops won't be the issue.

It actually suggests that you are doing something wrong somewhere. Excel 2003 should run pretty much the same in either environment.

What's the IB management view then. It sounds like SIPC might be smoke and mirrors for those who primarily trade futures. Perhaps its time IB changed insurers?

Well, seeing its the season of giving. I am here to give you counter-examples. I have restored my daughter's pc from acronis backups after a virus took here system partition out. I have restored new disks using WD acronis backups. Every 6 months I rebuild my system from a clean (fresh)...

I think I'd ask for references amongst their customers. There are no rules of thumb as server farms are scalable - if they do it.

If its related to market conditions it is caused by your clearers' servers congesting. Internet congestion is more likely to be time of day related (all the kids get home from school etc etc) or sporadic. Market related information makes up a tiny fraction of internet traffic so it doesn't...

Actually Cutten is right. The past is very indicative of the future. What happens though is that elements of market behaviour mutate so simplistic and fixed views (your systems above) fail. A good discretionary (even rule based discretionary) trader is monitoring the stack of conditions...

Reading the last few posts: I too love the snapshot data approach because I remember how people suffered when their "all tick" provider lagged. I have noted on the Sierra board that many of the brokers who supposedly provided all tick data seemed to stop doing so. Either they were found...

But if you consistently get good ping times you can be fairly confident your other data will receive similar or better treatment. In my experience bad and/or inconsistent ping times correspond to isp's who are not providing the type of service a trader needs. As do dropouts. On the...
