Not joking. If they fee out your account what obligation do they have to keep your account open???? If you dont meet their minimums, what obligation do they have to keep your account open. We are talking about financial institutions and a broker falls under that category....

Ok, here is how it is common sense.... What bank lets you keep an account open infinitely with zero activity without taking out fees and eventually closing your account. They call them inactivity fees.... Thats a common theme to the modern day finacial institution. Broker or otherwise...

Herman wrote the IBC interface code..... My implementation of his code was to create the Buy Sell Short Cover Signals for the code to act upon...

Herman is the author of this code, and very helpful I might add. I was having issues with it sending multiple orders and he kindly recoded it on his end to eliminate the duplicates... Perhapsby contacting herman via email, he can add the cancellation code in it for you.....

API backfill working just fine for me....

Yep, Last price is stuck, but the bid ask is moving and the unrealized is updating... I despise this error, but my quick workaround was to get charting off the ask. Till they get this mess fixed... This is the 2nd day in the row with Beans and Corn. YM is fine, NYBOT is fine.... All my Forex...

They wont reject your post... It's an honest question.... Beware, C = Close in AFL the basic syntax is this a1 = value; b1 = value; c1 = value; lastprice = Close; if lastprice = (a1+b1); { condition 2; } That is the basic syntax.... Need the rest of the formula...
