    TWS API Security Definitions

    I have found that the best way to get the correct IB symbol is to first search in the TWS desktop app for the Symbol or name. TWS will usually prompt with the list of possible symbols. Once you have the right symbol, copy it or click on it to get the ConId.

    Using Smartphone as a hotspot for my laptop

    But I am still pulling 3 down and 1 up on my laptop. Most probably you are still connected to the hotel WiFi, not you phone. The carriers can detect that requests are coming from the laptop and not the phone because the browser request includes a UserAgent field that indicates the the source...

    How can I generate the 10 dollar monthly commissions safely without risk

    The problem with this strategy is that the IRS may consider it a wash sale, and the resulting tax liability will be more than the $10 in commission.

    mysqld, net start mysql

    Yes starting mysqld is equivalent to starting the mysql service. I think you may find it simpler to just start mysqld automatically when the system is booted; see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/automatic-start.html

    What hardware is needed for supporting multiple monitors?

    This laptop is a bit under-powered for having many open tabs/charts. Despite being an i7, the i7-6500U is not tremendously powerful, and having only 8GB RAM does not help. Try Chrome instead of Firefox; it may help. Adding another 8GB of RAM is also a cheap improvement, if you have open...

    Workers Are Fleeing Big Cities for Smaller Ones—and Taking Their Jobs With Them

    Interesting. This article seems in direct conflict to other articles I have read that stated that 96% of job created since 2017 have been in the nation's largest cities: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-cities-created-almost-all-of-u-s-job-growth-in-2017/

    Long Index components, short index.

    Be extremely careful with this strategy. The DOW is a price-weighted index where the higher priced stocks make up a larger percent of the index. For example, the DIA dividend yield is currently 2.1%. The largest DOW component that yields less than 2.1% is United Health (UNH), that is 6.1% of...

    Trump admits ‘second thoughts’ about trade war with China

    I think you give Trump too much credit. He really doesn't think that far ahead. He doesn't read, doesn't study the history of why other Presidents have failed to contain China, ignores the advice of subject matter experts, and doesn't take advantage of resources that are already available. He...
