i have a ticket open for a couple months. still waiting for legit answer with links from whatever party that regulates this s**** so far-nothing but silence,forget about info from legit sources

i said it long time ago(i'm talking about YEARS,not months)-IB is using odd trades(as "much" as 2-5 shares) to define high \low of the bar or even EOD. good luck using indicators or whatever without prior filtering their data

hidden orders doesn't have any priority at all. ie-based on my experience "they" can trade thru your hidden order just fine on some other exchange(they now have 80 at their disposal). and this is where we( as a retail) are really boxed. you hide your order-you lose any priority. you show your...

Haim was right,but only partially( he is missing another big part -current microstructure created by SEC) or worse for everyone-combo of both.. last friday i have few postions. my soft popped up couple stocks that are traded at my price,but i got no fill. i counted at least 5 separate...

i'll do that. Thank you!

glad to see old T&S format is back(after completely unnecessary and useless modification IB finally realized that what they done -doesn't make any sense) but after i tried newest version of your TWS-first thing i noticed is same lame kindergarten level mistakes.. size of T&S window is always...

i'm not sure what i've provided here. as i said above-exactly same thing happens in both executions-bid 3.1- i placed LIMIT order to sell at 3.11(ask at that time was something like 3.14-3.13.) in both cases my order was immediately executed, as i hit someone's hidden order at 3.11. at least it...

got into this crapper and trying to close position manually both trade occurred at EXACT same circumstances,but commissions are dramatically different. same exchange,same conditions- the bid was 3.1 and every time i place an order to sell at 3.11-i hit someone's hidden order at 3.11. exact...

back in a day i did offered IB my help in QA dept(see TWS bug thread). i can do it from home part time w/o any benefits. just give me some reasonable pay and i will overflow you with my bug reports.:D so far-no respond :D

i can send you a copy of any previous builds. i think i have them all saved on my PC.right now i'm using standalone 937.2 on java 1.7.0_11-two instances of it s runs fine on VERY old dual core PC. never seen those pop ups about forced update(not a big fan of them,that's why i keep all the...

i would try a clean install(might be along with java update) but honestly-it's been like this for years(see TWS bug thread)

my point is that this game is pretty straight(unlike any other business,forget about working for someone else)-for every mistake you will pay right on spot. you are lucky that time,when trade was triggered by unfiltered data,but it wont' happen again :) just make sure you know that. i might let...

i don't know nothing about your experience as a trader+ programmer, but just a friendly advise from some random guy-if you have something in mind that needs to be done in order to improve your system(i'm talking about things that would handle bad data,disconnections,backup,data that would help...

why not? just make a table and insert the data as it flows into your application via API or whatever. just insert(not update SQL statement ). insert is much quicker than anything else in SQL. and then-write a procedure and convert the data at EOD from database into a flat binary file. should be...

i've downloaded IB's 15 sec bars of historical data for couple liquid ETF's and found that last bid price(of the this 15 sec bar) is consistently higher than trade last(of the bar) price :) so if short at last bid of the bar(worst possible price) and with a target price higher by a dime or two...

You are so right about cops.once I was stopped by state police trooper for driving w/o lights when wipers are on. I got almost 300$fine 1 for this one and two tickets for belts for me and my wife.took him 40 min to write tickets. The guy was arrogant asshole for all this time. Long story short...

i kind of doubt that. IB has 200K clients accounts(see their annual report) how many of them using API? i have no idea. let's just say -half. are you saying that not only this TradeKing has bigger clients base than IB, but also twice bigger amount of API users? i'd call it a BS,unless it's in...

Good points. I can add that one should expect some trade offs. For example-it will be very time consuming, if you are going to reinvent the wheel and rewrite even basic indicators in let say excel, while they are most likely already a part of ami, mentioned above.
