What symbols? DAX, ESTX, Bund are ok for me.

What problems? Works as usual for me. Regards

I guess by now you know what happened. FDAX trading stops at 13:00 CET. When you called your broker after this time, he was not able to close your position. FDAX is cash settled and the settlement price is based on the prices of the DAX-Index components in the 13:00 XETRA-auction. On...

The screen shot shows the intraday seasonality of the FDAX averaged over the last 5 days. The averages are calculated per hour. The average range is quoted in FDAX points while the average volume (per hour) is quoted in % of the daily volume. "9:00" means the hour ending at 9:00 local...

If you want to see 5 levels of bid/ask you have to subscribe to Level II. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

I see a drop of 120 points within 2 minutes only. ESTX50 dropped just 30 points within these two minutes. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

Troubled by a 200 point drop? What about a 700 point drop within a few minutes? It happened on 20th November 2001 around 9:21 local time. See e.g. here You won't find it on your charts though, because Eurex decided to cancel all trades below 5083. The drop was caused by someone who...

I switch into simu-mode when I leave the computer, then log-off (Windows 2000). So any accidental clicks can do no harm. Shutting down TWS (+ButtonTrader) is not necessary. Regards Bernd Kuerbs You should check the audit-trail whether the position was initiated by your computer...

You have enabled the audit trail in TWS? Then please carefully analyze it. Did you cancel any (limit) orders before this happened? I have had this happen once to me: I played around with limit orders, canceling them and after some time - I was still at my monitor - I got a fill on a...

Ok, since 9:00 EST they send eCBOT data again. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

eSignal stopped at 8:40 to distribute, ZN, YM and I don't know what else. IB still sends quotes, so it is not eCBOT. regards Bernd Kuerbs

To open an account you will have to deposit the equivalent of 5000 USD. If you daytrade stocks you will need the equivalent of 25000 USD. I don't know if this rule applies when you daytrade non-US stocks. Please search this board for an answer. IB offers a Universal Account, which means...

Just got their email about an Eurex outage, but I still get Eurex quotes. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

You use the demo-account, not your paper-trading account? The prices shown in the demo-account are neither real-time nor delayed, just some prices. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

Yes, e.g. the Bund is 5 ticks away from the market. Lagging several minutes. And the volume really is not that high. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

The time-out for your traceroute probably only means that IB does not answer pings. I just tried to download the latest TWS version and had no problem doing so. Maybe a problem with your ISP? Regards Bernd Kuerbs

That's new to me. Last time I checked - ok, some time ago - they showed the behavior described above. Many Thanks Bernd Kuerbs

Tradestation and some others - like eSignal and NeoTicker - add the volume just arrived to the current bar and then check whether they have to make a new bar. This way you may get bars with volume well over your threshold. Depending on your threshold this may be ok or not. In my case, I...

I read this differently: ..Besides, the Management Boards of the Eurex Exchanges agreed in above session to reduce, as of June 8, 2007, the possible minimum price change (tick size) for futures contracts on a notional medium-term debt security of the Federal Republic of Germany (Euro-Bobl...
