the standalone version does remember all the trades, even when you log out and in again. [actually even when you did not receive confirmation first, in case of internet breakdown on your side -it happens..]

It is simple, the smileys mostly are standards.. just write these two characters : ) but without a space, and that gives :) . you can use : ( etc... EliteTrader supports many smileys.

Hi all, Yes, I have mixed feelings too. I do understand Def, and from previous post he knows I pay a lot of respect to him for coming here and most of the time listen to complains [usually we write to complain and not enough to say thank you. I try to do both though]. On the other hand, we...

4Jays, still using it and glad I do ! It is just great. Futures indices available no extra cost. I use the mytrack feed, but esignal is also supported. Charting could be better, but custom indicators don't come more powerful than this. AIQ is pretty different than other packages and...

Best ECN not released yet. It seems IB rolls out limited test release to test the system is working properly. I am also looking forward using it [I tried a few trades without any problem]. Actually the quotes are refreshed faster with Best ECN when available. I hope it is released next...

Not Again :)

Quote.com is good at this. It can be a little tedious to force the system to load data back, but it can be done even intra day [exports as ascii]. Maybe not 6 months data [I did not try, but could be. I tried a few months once] It is not free. There must be others, but I did not try them...

Hi, BTW, in case you don't know, IB released an update of the standalone JTWS tuesday, may 29. it seems Best_Ecn shows correct bid/ask now. Anyone tried Best_ECN already ? I did, but only once the fill speed was not that great. But it does not mean anything [one test you know]. And the...

I am not sure. But let's say the trend is clear :) Momentum goes that direction.. the regulatory bodies are for it, I guess they received pressure from the politician after the market's downturn, I don't know. What is sure and factual is the new rule. Unless something happens that's what...

Check handling to deposit cash in the account sucks. That's granted. Use wire transfer to feed your account. It is very simple and very very fast. To get money, I use checks. But that's just me. It is also easy and handling from IB is fast, no complain.

No I don't think so. This rule is a blow to stock daytraders and specifit to stocks [and all brokers !]. The 4 to 1 margin might be interesting but obviously the limit of $25000 is not nice. I know it does not matter for professional traders, and therefore I do not care, but it is not good...

I don't get it, the web site you mention gives pretty good marks to IB. You picked some points which, I can imagine, scare you. I am sure Def will respond. I am a IB's customer I can give some answers right away, please also read this from EliteTrader ...

OK ! I understand now. It is the arbitrage between the old pit and electronic sessions. And there are many other arbitrage ways. But now I get your meaning. I was talking only about the electronic session [minis] and QQQ on Island. I think QQQ tracks the futures and QQQ's momentum is...

Hi Sniper, Cool :) I am very curious about Tony's explanation if you can find it back [he may also respond here !]. My experience is very different, no doubt QQQ moves after the futures unless it is my feed which is slow ! :( However, I also noticed Island moving very quickly, sometimes...

I initally thought you were not very nice to just send this comment which means nothing for people who want to learn. But then you post a very nice link. I like Tony Oz's work. His book gave me the practical basics to start trading. And I made money thanks to his explanations. It is not the...

I am not sure I want to go in too many details. But here are some information and pointers. read also this small thread : http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=1204&pagenumber=1 QQQ does not trade like a normal stock although it is one. You obviously know it is an index...

On QCharts it is CME:NQ01M for naz emini and CME:ES01M for s&p emini Obviously the month part of the code rolls with the contract. I do not remember if there is a fixed symbol for the 'current' contract which does not change with the month.

Hi Def, Do you know how the new margin rules will be handled at IB ? I understand there are 2 ways to calculate max buy power in the new rule. Which one will you follow ? Do we really get 4-1 margin ? etc... I guess information regarding other brokers would be interesting to ET...

I think it happened to me too, when I started. Anyway, is that important ? If your posts are on the board, that's the important thing. If they have been removed, it is the moderator's or administrator's job and you can ask him why. In my case, the posts were always there, despite the...

Livecharts from Quote.com It is free and realtime for futures under certain conditions [easy to meet]. check it out here : http://www.quote.com/quotecom/livecharts/default.asp check the Free Real Time Offer. symbol for Naz futures now is CME:NQ01M you get Nasdaq realtime as well [not...
