Unless it's Cramer himself. I guess it would be illegal then, wouldn't it? Ursa..

Well spoken sailor, regards. What would happen if a former general or worse, a diplomat, would speak of the nifty tricks they pulled on the Iraquees or the Serbs to win a battle or war. It would cause political explosions that could undo any achieved goal. And if a political agenda was...

Yes, I agree, it makes life so much more comfortable and it lessens stress so much as to give a real edge. The new (868) version of Booktrader fails to impress, I'm sorry to say. There are some slight improvements but in general it is more of the same. I'm now unable to use the status column...

Hi 4Q, fine here, glad to hear from you again, tax season is over? :) I'm surprised that the anomaly you described existed at all, this very seldom. It is very easy to build a scanner to find these opportunities. And since they are entirely riskless they will be done in massive numbers...

If you think these quotes are valid why didn't you sell that put, bought the call and hedge with short stock? Could'v locked in 30 cts without any risk! Ursa..

Yes, and I believe for the sole reason to prevent IB from doing just that, which would have been a far better and possibly great outcome (and bad for A-turd) Btw. the frequency of updates has slowed down since then, but it still is fairly regularly. I even think it is better this way, since...

Buying march and selling april is in fact a short calendar. Lookup under what conditions a SC is best done. Ursa..

Your welcome. :D Ursa..

Yes, every 2 weeks or so there is a new (beta) release. I find quality control and bug feedback excellent and they could teach some of the 'professional' (read: expensive) packages a few tricks. Quotetracker is excellent, even if it would cost more/something. Ursa..

I think you're right, it seems some simple internal data-structure error; starting-point of some overwrite or something. This is indeed an old bug. Ursa..

You cannot program the buttons (I think) but you can of course program many hotkeys and mouse-combo's to do enter or modify orders. I actually find the order-entry rather good with hotkeys, lately. Ursa..

Maybe naive, but not kidding. As I understand it (maybe wrongly) these guys have special priviliges to trade the 'inside' of the market, but for that they are obliged to 'make a market'. There must be some rules that they have to adhere to, and if any regulator, or even the owner of the...

I'm not sure about NOT possible, but I found it rather clumsy and it felt unsolid. Maybe Java again, another love/hate thing, Some of the things described weren't possible in TWS 6 months ago, maybe they are now. Butt this is only the beginning setup. After that there are so many things...

Ah yes, great. I currently don't need the watermarks because all my charts are about the same future and I never change them. Before that I had a love/hate thing with the watermarks too, you need them but they are distracting and a bit unclean. I'll experiment with the colors again, good tip...

So, why didn't that MM lose his job today? Isn't that what he's hired for? Someone, in case of a complaint like that, should look back in the ordertraces and if it happened before he can look for another job; or maybe his boss. Ursa..

Same here. In fact, if I will not even consider going for Vista unless I'm able to switch of the eye-candy, which is the first thing I'll do (and did on every install of XP I did). Ursa..

Good to hear, nice setup too. One more thing, you can drag the titlebars beyond the screen-edge and, but that is a matter of taste, I always let the other titlebars overlap the horizscrollbar of the chart above it. It's not much but it saves some screen real-estate. Have fun and good trading...

I think its well described in some manual somewhere, but I'll try to explain anyway. Once you opened your three charts for the same stock and changed the charts' parameters and timeframes and indicators and colors and whatever, you go to the pushpin symbol for every chart and change it to the...

Yes, the dynamic switch of 3 charts by scrolling through the portfolio is quite intensive. But I'd think (not tested) that this will take at least as long when doing it within TWS. My feeling is that QT is as efficient as is possible, given the demands and constraints. It's the backfilling that...

That's correct, the delta adjusted number of puts combined with the long futs is a long an adjusted long straddle, with unpaired number of legs. Eg. 10 futs, and you buy slightly OTM puts with delta .40, so buy 25 puts, which means 10 synthetic calls + 15 puts. Trading long straddles is very...
