yeah, i've only made a living investing for over 20 years- back when you were just a youngster with your mum turning tricks to help feed you and her other john trick babies.

laugh or laughing my ass off. he shat all over my thread last night so i decided to do my best impersonation of the winner of kiwi wankfest 2007.

i think one of our many problems is that you're too dim to understand sarcasm. unlike you , i don't cast myself in some self-important light. when you get older. perhaps, you'll understand that such a sense of self importance reveals your immaturity. as to the gaps, i did very well in the...

only a wanker doesn't know how to trade gaps. oops, almost forgot, i think i'm supposed to throw in a lame LMAO and LOL here too...

no, one is ethernet straight to my computer (no router), other is wireless to the DSL connection.

yeah, imagine if i'd been in 10 contract and NOT been able to finally get out b4 the break last night- quite the gap down. of course, i traded the afternoon session with my head in my ass; proving, yet again, that poor trading is just as dangerous and an unreliable connection to ones broker!

as i posted, the server reset came 1/2 hour early last night- so i knew the reset was behind me (server reset is VERY obvious- you know when it's happening). as i also said, the connection was fine (no pink, wasn't trying to log in, no interruption of data, etc etc).

actually, from the sounds of it, i may be the only one who was stupid enough to take bad advice from an ib trader- trying to trade on the HKFE using the US server! it has never happened while trading the US markets. i PM'd Steve, the ib guy who posted to this thread- i'll report back what he...

someone pointed out that it's better to ask IB than post on ET. this and several other posts show this is quite wrong (exception goes to our 12 year old kiwi who desperately needs a time out in the corner and an expanded vocabulary beyond the playedoutsince1990 'wanker'). i inquired about 2...

this just happened tonight... 21:23:30 User: Submit Order SELL 1 HHIN7 HHI.HK JUL07 Futures at 13472 21:23:57 User: Cancel Order SELL 1 HHIN7 HHI.HK JUL07 Futures at 13472 21:23:57 System: Cancel confirmed SELL 1 HHIN7 HHI.HK JUL07 Futures at 13472 on HKFE 21:24:07 User: Submit Order...

agreed. i'm an old timer and what we can do from home far eclipses what i could have dreamed of doing at work when i started with mother merrill in the 80's. i really enjoy trading the HK markets- i love the volatility (really wish i could trader Korea- hopefully someday here in the US)...

well, hero, this will be my last wasted effort directed @ you. first, do you know any really really wealthy people? every one i know is loathe to throw money away (i had business dealings with a billionaire and he was exactly the same. we got off his private jet, walked to the waiting car and...

i think i will give that a try. i guess i was stupid taking the opinion of the ib trader i spoke to as fact. he talked from experience (or so he said) that US traders who switch to the HK server have lots of problems- he also said that the latency issues were worse US-HK-US vs US-US-HK. he...

the thread title clearly states i am looking for alternatives. your smug attitude contributes nothing. one of my best friends is from New Zealand, if you're going to be such a prick, you might want to use a different user name- everyone i've met from NZ is the polar opposite of your pompous know...

thanks for the reply. how often do you have issues with the HK server going down? trading the US markets, i have only had 1 issue of any consequences, while trading the Asian markets i am in the double digits on only a few months. like i said, in my OP, i like all the markets available, i am...

so, does anyone use a broker besides IB to trade these markets?

who the fuck are you to personally attack me when you don't know me or the issues. i guarantee you that if you had the execution and server issues that i've had, you'd be pissed too and looking for alternatives. that is the purpose of the thread. asian futures as a full time vehicle is...

this wasn't intended to be an all out ib bitch thread. i am seriously looking for an alternative for trading the Asian and German futures markets. suggestions?...

my comment about coping to IB issues was not directed @ you personally, but @ ib. not responding to trouble tickets is just icing on the cake. unfortunately, i do not have a lot of logs saved (i have a couple) showcasing execution issues. reason being- when i'm in HSI or HHi.HK futures...

i was told my a trader @ IB that it goes down for the reset while the US market is open, it's more random, and down longer. that was all i needed to hear to dissuade me from that option, so i didn't look into it any further.
