Remember: todays the day the HSI times change. Opening is half and hour earlier as is the close of the morning session. Then the afternoon session opens one hour earlier than usual and closes at the normal time. So its a 1.5 hour lunchtime, earlier open, and one hour more trading than...

You don't reconcile them. Fundamentals being out of wack is not normally enough by itself - the market can remain irrational etc. An event is required to tip the market. In my experience we don't seem able to see it coming or see what it will be. Or when, exactly - read the stories of...

I think the key point is that IB data is not meant to be "accurate;" rather it is mean to be tradable. So it is sampled, lacking in lag, but likely to be missing ticks (10 per second but only last for the real time feed but I dont know what it does in the situation you show). If one needs...

Final bump ... next week its a new world The first session starts and finishes half and hour earlier The second session starts an hour early and finishes same time. http://goo.gl/pz19l I for one am looking forward to the changes. Lets see what it does to this fastest of index futures :)

That is a bit of an exaggeration if one plans one's operations. I use standby (so cpu speeds down and ram goes into the chosen standby mode) so my restart is a few seconds at most. Re power, I have one switch for my screens, printer, routers etc and one for the computer itself. So the...

False alarm I'm afraid. They've taken a look at the issues of porting it to linux and decided not to at present. So, I'll have to stick with trusty XP.

You seem to have most of the good advice there. Despite this I run the following on my ram disk: - tws - browser cache - temp files - sierrachart Part of the reason is that I have an early OCZ disk, pre trim, so the write speeds are slower and there is the possibility of stutter...

Thats why they are going to limit it to certain brokers. Their use of Net is very limited apparently so if you take IB and a couple of others you can produce a Netfree version. I don't think they were any more impressed with Wine than I am but the possibility of a pure linux version looks...

LINUX I hadn't realized you could use qt with linux. How many linux qt users are there out there? And which brokers are they using. Over at the Sierra Chart message board theres been an effort to increase compatibility with linux going on for a while and the SC boys seem willing to...

Bump ... Just two weeks to go ... It will be the second week on the March contract.

Looking forward the Toshiba and Android 3. Been playing with a couple of HTC phones with Froyo 2.2 and not sure why anyone would go Apple any more. Unless they just get their jollies by paying Steve for everything they want to do?

The obvious Non-Usanian friendly firm is Interactive Brokers. Trade futures or fx-ecn as you wish. Not that I like their front end - but Sierra Chart works for me.

In Australia we've replaced most of them already. The new "fluorescents" are fine and you can choose day blue light or warmer shades for night. A friend of mine has started installing LEDs (he has a low cost source) and I suspect that as LED prices drop for the different colour options...

I tried a lot of them ... ended back at Comodo for the best combination of features, manageability and quietness.

For the record. SierraChart will do everything with IB backfill that it will with live data (allowing for the backfill's granularity) so you can do volume charts on live, 5 sec, or backfilled data.

I once bought a lifetime licence for Qt. Jerry let that die with no compunction. So why should Ameritrade feel any more guilt?

Yes. I said something similar to bsam this morning. It has a different feel to it. I came from Metastock then Quotetracker (I paid Jerry for a lifetime licence ... lol) then TS2000i. And SC's design wasn't based on what I knew. However I've been using it for 5+ years now and when I messed...

It would at the moment. Hk doesnt have DST but you guys do so you'd need to adjust at that point.

Bump :)

Just add my vote for Sierra Chart as your replacement. On a 12 month contract the basic IB compatible package is $20.28 per month. For that you can run multiple copies of Sierra Chart. It's a good package for line based trading and also for standard or custom indicators (they do a lot of...
