I am looking for a software to program my system. I prefer not to use Tradestation.com. I am considering AIQ. Does anyone have experience with it or more importantly with their data service MyTrack for realtime data. I might consider RavenQuote too, but their reliance on quote.com is...

How many symbols can you track with studies active ? Let's say I want to code easylanguage alerts based on technical indicators, but of course I want to apply them to 30 stocks at least. The old TS was not good at opening many charts. Is the online TSPro version any better in that respect ...

thank you pt2 for replying in the nyse context. I do not like otc that much either. Anyway, most are looking at otc so it is interesting to do business elsewhere. less competition means easier profits imo.

I agree with Robert. If your system works with amount A, there is no reason it would not work with amount 2xA or whatever the margin is. This is really true with swings and multiple positions trading since you can spread the risk and have no position able to go against you too much.. When...

I don't think it is possible to login several times for the same account, and that make sense in terms of security.. I kind of remember that if you login again it freezes the former session. I understand your idea to be able to see several pages though..

YEs, it is possible. I have two accounts and they are both opened on the same machine at the same time. They even keep their settings fully separated. No problem at all with data or transactions. It is just like having 2 machines. Try that with some other packages. The only problem...

Yes, swinging is working and will always work. I really don't understand why it should not. What you might want to change [I am not talking to praetorian2 who obviously is doing OK, I continue to reply to the original post] is the time frame. Break out still works, they just only work on a...

swings, break outs etc.. they all still work now. The issue is to remember the trend and avoid fighting it. If you believed in the countertrend rally in the Nasdaq before christmas, and played the short term break outs, you are likely crying now. However, swing traders who did remember the...

I would also like to see more comments from Swing Traders.. Which forum are you talking about ? I do not know this particular book though. I do mostly swing trading. It can become daytrading depending on the conditions :-). But I use day trading sometimes to offset the recent market...

m_c_a98 there are two fields to tell you what is your risk of margin call : Maintenance Margin Requirement "The amount of funds, when holding positions, that you must maintain in your account at all times to avoid liquidation. The maintenance margin requirement is updated on a real-time...

Def, Thank you for the changes in IB JTS. I see IB does consider feature requests. Thank the programmers too. It should be a great feeling to write a program users can really benefit from. The changes they did, do help. I hope we have more constructive suggestions so the platform...

Hi Def, Would you explain the use of BUY- and SELL+. I read the doc but I am not sure to get it. How is it different from a limit order. Thanks.

Hi Def, Suggestion for the Java version.. Thanks again for the hotkeys.. - The stop orders do not show the stop price. They do for a brief moment [basically when you select it] and then it is gone. So All my orders are active but I have no idea what is the trigger price ? :-( pretty...

thanks a lot Def for keeping track of all our suggestions. Proof that IB is listening and cares.

I use Cable. In fact bandwitdh is only higher on paper and depends on time of day. This is because Cable, as you know, is shared among subscribers. The more subscribers the less bandwitdh. However, trading does not take that much bandwitdh per seat. I have several apps [3] per seat sucking...

I am happy user of IB. And I'd like to balance some of the nasty comments in this thread. On very few instances I had to call on IB chat help. It was accurate and helpful. Time to help was acceptable. There has been only one instance when it has been impossible to reach them by chat [it was a...
