    You set up different account groups and allocation structures and use them when you place the orders. You cannot allocate after a trade is made. The allocation info is in the trade window alongside your bid/ask etc. You setup the page to your liking just as you do now. You change the...

    Excellent Indicators to daytrade the ER

    Not sure what your adjective(?) means in reference to the noun chart but if you open the attached chart and click on it it will enlarge such that it can be read with ease. Compare to the Hyposculator and the Hypenvelope for utility ad ease of use. Efficacy is under review. Jack

    I'm not familiar with Multicharts. However, if I remember the reviews in the software section of this board there was some question as to how well it interfaces with the IB datafeed. You might read through the reviews. Jack

    IB Suggestions & Improvements

    Did you click apply at the bottom of the window after you made the change? I made the change to GTC after the market closed today. Closed TWS and then reopened. The GTC was still there. I also setup an order and it showed GTC. I left the GTC setup and shutdown TWS for the night. I'll...

    TWS clock ~15 seconds behind

    I've noticed the following: My system uses Dimension 4 ( www.thinkman.com ) to time sync. I open only TWS. The TWS server time box shows within 20 seconds of the PC time. After some period of time that varies between 3 minutes and 20 minutes the TWS server time has corrected to match the...
