Thanks.. except that I don't have any "Sun Java" in advanced inet options, I only have "microsoft VM". Anyway I just use j-trader as a backup, so I use the standalone version that isn't slow. Thanks anyway 50

they blame the whole world except their own selves. it's your machine, it's your cpu, it's your internet connection.. man, eSignal and TWS work fine, and JTrader doesn't, on the same machine with the same ram, cpu, and inet connection. one should read the writing on the wall...

Nana Trader, You can try them for free.. will help you evaluate both functionality and reliability. http://www.gfetc.com/platforms/index.html That I am not pleased with them does not mean that other traders won't like them.

btw another potential issue with jtrader. if you have sun java installed on your system (required to use IB), jtrader will work extremely slow. you will have to uninstall the Sun Java. Alternatively you can use the stand alone version of jtrader, which is not slow, except that version is out...

PuffyGums, I was referring to JTrader not to TWS. I don't get any unusual disconnects with IB or eSignal. Put it another way: JTrader disconnects when IB and eSignal keep working fine. Just my experience.. not trying to bash any software or broker. PS - it is statistically logical...

I use j-trader as a backup. the price feed connection is lost about 20 times a day, every single day, without exception. you may still be able to place trades though, i never tried, i use it as a backup, as mentioned.

If you are an harmonic trader (fibs, ganns, gartleys and so on) then check out Ensign software, they specialize in that. They claim to combine data feeds with IB and their own backfills, and therefore provide a real time data for the mare fee of IB quotes ($10/mo.). The software itself costs...

the new version of tws has a complicated command line in its shortcut. i am pasting it here, if you create your own shortcut, make sure to paste the following in the Target line of your shortcut c:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe -cp jts.jar;jcommon-0.9.0.jar;jfreechart-0.9.15.jar...

Start -> Programs -> Trader workstation

ron2368 is right, i had the same problem, use the new shortcut, they changed the parameters.

I have a good article on the subject of 90% days and their assosiated bottoms and tops, the author also ran statistics all the way to 1960. The problem is it's a 160KB PDF and I can't attach it here because it's too big. If anyone has some sort of a web strorage space, I can upload it there...

Luctrative1, As for Series 7 study material, get the Dearborn training CDROM. They have hundreds of drill questions arranged into subjects, plus simulated full exams. When I took my S7 I used this cd, the arrangement of questions into subjects was priceless. Many of the questions appear...

danjos, if you are scrolling down on the tos window (to see past transactions), make sure you scroll all the way back to the top when you are finished. because the tos flow halts once you start scrolling, and resumes only when you go back to the top. Not sure this helps you, but if it...

Gee thanks! I didn't know they have web based access..

I know a few people who have these certifications and are now columnists in various newspapers or financial web sites. They write their analysis about various markets. They also teach at t/a courses just like you said. If you consider these jobs desirable, then yes you have a fair chance at...

Thanks.. I already noticed the estx50 will require going in with more size. By the way gfetc, better known to us through their introducing broker AF, will let you trade european markets without even converting money into euros! Their margins are also good however their commissions should be...

Just starting to have a look at the european futures (dax, cac, estx50, ftse). Which data feed and brokerage are you guys using? Are you using eSignal and IB? Are there any other? Is the eSignal european feed timely and reliable (for eurex, liffe)? How about the IB feed and executions...

Any plans to do so in the future? Jay or Chuck?...

Thanks, that's the cash though. Although better than nothing, it's still not a continuous contract..

Is there a continuous contract display for European futures in eSignal? For example I tried LX #F-LF (for FTSE100) but it says "No data". While LX H4-LF does work, but doesn't go back much on the daily chart. Thanks 50
