so very true, so very profitable. I love slow motion. slow motion is good. the market is going in slow motion but you are in full speed. less mistakes, more control, more profits. This is one of the big reasons I switched from eminis to NYSE. When you are used to very fast pace action, it...

it depends, your internet connection (and your internal clock) can participate in building the wrong candle. because some charting software (I was not only talking about esignal, but esignal may have this problem with third party charting software using this datafeed and others) will use your...

stevet, you are probably right. However, if you need to be sure about the candles there is much more trouble waiting for you. 2 different data providers and charting software will not show you the same candle on 1 mn bars. that's a fact. It's going to be hard to find a data provider that...

NYSE/Nasdaq ? I think it really depends on the trader and what he's trying to do. If you try to go against the specialist you may lose in the long run I agree. If you try to trade news too, but you don't have to. Trading NYSE is very profitable with several strategies (not the open only). A...

Nitro, I agree even more with your last post than the one before. For motas, I don't really understand why he really wants to daytrade. Why try the most difficult thing with so few succeeding, specially after loosing 70k why insist (learn about stop loss!). motas, if you still want to do...

I am one of those defending IB. And like I said, you can go back to my posts and see that - I am not affiliated - I have been very critical of IB in the past (I mean very, even advising to go elsewhere because they did not want to change their policy). as well as very cheerful. So I think...

LOL !!!!

alanm, it was not available this morning because of connectivity problems I believe. I contacted them and they told me it would not even be active today (it was working premarket). It went back online at noon I think. tntneo

LOL Nortel, great short.. this morning got junk bond status I think.. even better. yum.

indeed.. it's great. see the comments here http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...=&threadid=4733

see my reply to the thread itself

many advertising on this thread. the title is calling for trouble. I suggested to avoid flat out advertising in favor of valuable info, that instead of just closing the thread.

Is the “top of book” bid and offer in OpenBook the same as the NYSE’s best bid and offer? A: The best bid and offer in OpenBook represents only the limit orders on the specialist’s book and not the entire market. The NYSE best bid and offer may include book orders, crowd interest...

I think Def's reply was very good. You just can't imagine the situation will be allowed to continue for too long. If it does, please stop crying, go elsewhere, use another broker you think is better. And I can be loud about this, because when I was not happy about IB's position (regarding...

one thing which might help, next time (hey I don't wish one!) close TWS and start it again. Today that's only how it showed me orders executed or really cancelled. Actually, I was pretty mad waiting, like you, for something to happen with my orders and wondering how all this would end up (have...

Hi Magna, yes I have it working. You are right that they don't like each other, however you can make them work. - they MUST be in the same workgroup (forget about domains here, if you are in a domain Magna, I know why it does not work). - a good protocol to use is TCP - but you must also...

It takes about 2/3 days to have NYSE Open Book active with you IB account. The procedure is fairly simple. I don't know about the payment yet, but OK. As soon as IB got confirmation from NYSE I could see the market data. the book itself is working fine and build for institutions with average...

I was stuck in many positions, and obviously some of my orders had to be executed. However, TWS would not aknowledge that. This was bad. I could see with my back up data providers trades going (and obviously some of mine) while TWS was keeping them green. Chat with helpdesk did not help, I...
