If it's safety that's of chief concern, I understand that Canadian Forex accounts are protected by the government up to something like $200,000. Please do your due diligence, I'm just remembering off top of my head from another thread. IB is different that other brokers due to their unique...

Imprinting is very interesting. What I find much more intriguing though is "instant intelligence" with ZERO input or stimulus. Experiments show that when you temporarily disable the pre-frontal lobe, people get smarter. There is no reasonable explanation for this outside the realm of some...

Cool stuff, thanks for posting. The link mentions some of this is based on work done by Robert Anton Wilson. He is held in high regard among the people who are into energetic type stuff.

A word to the wise: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER let anybody do your taxes unless you are fully capable of doing them yourself. Sooner or later you're gonna get screwed. All it takes is a willingness to read the IRS instruction publications. THey are convoluted, but it's nothing...

The developer stated explicity that NLP is NOT science. That doesn't make it not useful. The problem with science is that one instance can disprove something, and there is no way to prove it for sure. It sounds like you chaps want to say I or other people are lyers. NLP works and sometimes it...

Samson and I get along ( I think :) ) but we don't agree on the NLP thing. Correct me if you've changed your mind Samson, but in the past you told me you got burned pretty bad by some NLP stuff. This doesn't mean NLP is bogus. Kiwi, comparing it with Scientology is unfair at best. In ANY...

I could be wrong, but I thought ButtonTrader has built in risk controls. Check with Hoi, he'll have the answers.

Guys, I feel for you. Fact is, all the complaining in the world won't effect esignal management. I complained over 3 years ago about a major problem (did you know that on daily interval futures charts volume is not correct) that was never fixed. I then proceeded to point out problem after...

a service writer is the person behind the counter at the dealership who writes up the service ticket when you bring the car in for repairs, many people don't realize these people are essentially commission positions, makes you think about what they tell you is wrong with the car.....

LOL

Suggestion.... Be thrilled with constant termoil and change and uncerntainty. I could go off on one of my usual philosophical rants, but instead will just focus on the markets. Bad news brings prices down to levels where demand swamps supply. Good news rallies prices to levels where supply...

The 80k deduction is for earned income if you reside outside the US. Trading gains are not considered earned income. But, what you can do is create a corporation which trades that pays you as an employee. This can be an off-shore corp not subject to most of the wimms of most governments...

Sorry, I'm in a bad mood today and can't resist making the suggestion you employ the spell check feature also. You appear foolish when you can't spell yourself. :D

It's for custom made software, in no way is it necessary to use an API for most traders. Perhaps I could be more insightful if you told us why you want to know.

If you don't know what an API or the FIX protocol is, you don't need to worry about them. They are for programmers or software developers. API is the chunk of code which allows the IB platform to communicate with other software. FIX, I believe is an order entry protocol which is a...

Under account management you can do an internal transfer of cash simply by a few mouse clicks. Couldn't be easier. I did this just a month or so ago. Of course, you need to set up the advisor account and a new client account for yourself and anyone else your going to trade for. Then you transfer...

One copy of Vista Server will probably cost at least 4X what a single copy of Vista would cost. If you really have a problem with spending a few hundred bucks for operating systems, you might want to look into Linux. But if it costs you 30 or 40 hours in time to implement, divided into cost of...

My understanding is that the Reuters package from IB is just the news feed. Quotecenter is sold through Equis (the Metastock people). They offer a delayed data service where you don't pay the exchange fees. I only need the data to create supply and demand points, and the IB feed will give me the...

That may be a concern for some folks, but it's hardly a flaw. In my case it wouldn't effect me at all. I also found out that it is standalone, and for $135 per month you get world wide futures! The platform is the Reuters Bridgestation rebranded. Also, it's a pretty simple fix if the lack of...

Interesting, I had been looking at Bridgestation and found it to be a truly superior product. I wasn't aware that Quotecenter was essentially the same product, that would be most exciting.
