Bitstream, Respectfully disagree. The title "Missing money at IB" is in my opinion not the same as your suggestions of "He wasn't making much of a fuss" and "Afterall he didn't make any accusations". A person who is not a customer of IB and does not take the time to read the whole...

Agreed. My account with IB has at times been dormant for longer than that. Never any problems and I would not worry about it. Making this kind of a fuss about $1500 does not put you, your internet security practised or your trading performance in a good light, just mho. Sherlock.

The original posting said it all: an injunction preventing TT to remove X-trader from their seats. RCG does not want to have their business disrupted by Harris while they are disagreeing over the patent and are fighting it in the courts. Similarly for the others it was easier to agree to pay...

I am Sherlock Holmes. In a previous life I was a data modeller and data warehouse specialist. Now I am a detective where I not only see but also observe. Once I observe what the crowd's mood is then I place a trade. Humans stay irrational longer than that the rational maths of any...

Runningbear respectfully - do what cmaxb suggested and note how many threads there are running. Then check how much memory is taken up by what. On a message board you can get only generic answers. To know what will work in your environment you will have first to investigate your own machine...

search for ET'r deeman, he had only 52 posts and I believe he went back to a prop. Nice thread on how thinly traded stock and large orders are handled by the professionals. Sherlock

News to me. Better stop trading then and tell the bank that the money that I deposited is imaginary. (just kidding) In other words the above posting is made by someone who is still new to this game and does not yet know what is possible and what not. The real big money is not made by...

On Friday during RTH it was fluctuating (most of the time) between 2 and 4 pips! :mad: Looks like I will have to move to the futures then, not happy. Sherlock

Nonsense. Human psychology has stayed the same over thousands of years and it will stay the same until the end. Trading is the oldest profession. It is interesting to know that since the advent of the personal computer there have not been any more succesful traders than there were before the...

Respectfully disagree. If you have an application that stores the data locally (eg TradeStation 2000i) then you'll find that the database process is using one CPU and the charting process is using the other CPU. In our case the loads are spread evenly between the database and the charting...

Spot on that the (aspiring) traders do not take the time: they glance at something and then decide it is not working and that it is all baloney. This was one thing that Woodie was right on: Take one indicator and learn all the ins and outs. I developed one indicator and spend 9 months...

Some good arbing opportunities between the cash and the futures. A number of times quite out of whack. Perhaps a rookie trying to learn the game? :cool:

yep, must have blown up his account. So "easy". :cool:

Agreed :D :D :D Sherlock

Have two IBM A31 and have on both machines new screens after three years: wore them out by running them 24 hours x 7 x 52. ES: Yes I have my eye on that Toshiba, seems that with the PC arm of IBM being sold to the Chinese the IBM PC's are no longer what they used to be. :( Used to have...

Most icons on a 15" laptop with 1600 x 1200 are just too small. Prefer 1400 x 1050 on 15" laptop, is capable of holding just enough without making it illegible. Next laptop will be 17" with 1680 x 1050. Sherlock

Finally! Must say that standalone version 851 is the first version in years that I have been looking forward to. Have been running 851 web based since its release and have been extreemly impressed. Hopefully some (if not all) of the issues with IB's TWS are now behind us. Thanks IB...

Just following my system which showed 25th July a good long term R:R of going up and reaching this level. No subjective EW crap in here. Just plain objective TA. :D :D :D http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=799493#post799493...

I was posting the following reply in the SPR released thread but think it is more in its place here due to the economic implications that are the result of the hurricane impact. :cool: The little rhyme keeps on going through my head: "brains, brains, shit shit for brains" LOL. What I...

The way the man lived his life, how he ended it and how much fortune he left behind is his own business and it is not for us to judge him on that. It is immaterial to our trading. We need to look at his trading exploits instead, and they are worth great study as they are just as applicable...
