anyone?

Hi guys, I used to have stop orders trigger outside market hours in older tws versions, i think i changed a setting somewhere. However i just recently upgraded to a new TWS version and now i cant seem to get stop orders to trigger outside US market hours (i trade ES). If you go to order...

seriously you cant turn it off? anyone know any hidden trick to stop it?

hi i wondered about this when i joined ib. if you daytrade and never hold overnight unbundled is cheaper even if you trade 1 contract a month. if u hold overnight then what u are saying is correct since you have to pay the extra 0.10$ a day per contract.

zeroline is good, i have 4 doms open for ES at once (im serious- each has a different strategy programmed. swing, trend, breakout, scalp) and i have another 2 doms for YM and eurostoxx, so thats 6 total. seems like u can open alot of doms dunno how many but i think i had about 10 open once...

Hi guys, does anyone know if you can turn off the auto log off on IB? I would like to leave my computer on and logged in mon-fri 24hrs a day. Thanks, David

im having problems too, im long ES future and i cant place new orders or exit the position right now first time ive had this problem with IB since i joined them 5months ago

I trade mainly the ES future but i watch the eurostoxx in parallel. I used to trade the stoxx future also, but i have stopped recently since its nowhere near as volatile as the ES lately. If the stoxx is moving quick the ES will be moving with it just as fast most of the time, but if the ES...

IB has only 6 months of historical data on daily charts. Im a daytrader so thats fine for me. US data is free if you make $30/m in comms. Get quotetracker and zerolinetrader if you go for IB since their own software is pretty bad. Both of these plugins are simple and very effective, if...

open e cry use live data on their 2 week trial its not 100% accurate, some time and sales prints are 'duplicated' meaning vol is not quite accurate. sometimes you get 460 contract print, then a 390 and then a 70 (both add up to 460). so you get double vol sometimes (i saw this on...

quotetracker kicks ass get it, its free with banner ads everything you need is there pretty much, unless you need a million useless indicators...

hi guys, just wondering if any of you have upgraded to new tws version. i am still using 875.3 and was reluctant to upgrade as i have heard bad things in the past about new versions. is it safe to upgrade to 877?

get zeroline trader a dom for ib. its $90 a year, i use it its great, 10x better than ib dom and u can set up brackets in alot of ways. u can create 'strategies' and u can choose one to use on ur dom. u can set more than 1 profit target in advance for scale outs or just scale out urself...

I signed up with IB a month ago and they are rock solid so far. I trade ES, FESX, DAX futures and data has been lightning fast at all times. I heard that some of the nasdaq stock data has been playing up recently though, but futures data and execution has been perfect for me. Customer...

Hehe, typical response shows you why i never post here often, no? Well obviously if you could read my posts properly you'd see that i myself believe in many conspiracies, but the issue is people like you blow these theories so far out of proportion it makes them sounds like nonsense. Eg...

Agreed. I dont believe in the overhyped conspiracy theory, but i am almost certain there is corruption. They have to be more subtle in this day and age, and the 'accumulation, distribution' cycle in combination with misinformation is a great way for them to continue to make easy money that...

I trade ES, YM and eurostoxx futures and sometimes the charts do not backfill properly on first try. Sometimes they wont fill properly for some time (like 30mins), but eventually they backfill properly if u keep trying. The solution for me is to never log out of TWS all day, even if you leave...

The FED supposedly only owns 10% of the govts debt. However, this does not mean that the situation is not corrupt since the fed was undoubtedly in cahoots with other large private banks early in the 20th century who own the remaining 90%. The whole debt situation is blown out of...

Well i am sure the fed + other major world central banks used to be ultra corrupt and prolly still are a little (insider trading etc). This and plenty of other dodgy stuff goes on every day in the world of finance i am sure in the name of making money. However, some of the things you have...
