In your example an initial investment of 100 (whatever currency) will "grow" to 60 after the second period. The factors are: 0.5 and 1.2. The geo mean is 0.77. Which translates into -23% (yearly). (0.77)**2 * 100 yields 60. So what is wrong with that?

Tray the geometric mean: to be found under "functions" -> "Statistics". You have to convert your numbers into factors: i.e. 20% to 1.20, -10% to 0.90. The initial investment multiplied by the geo mean taken to the 8th power (= number of periods) yields the end result. regards Bernd...

I'm not involved in the programming of Buttontrader, so I really do not know. Please ask Robert. regards Bernd Kuerbs

I do not know what you are trying to do, but the appendix H3 refers to the march contract of last year. Current contract is H4. HTH Bernd Kuerbs

You need a microphone, preferably a device attached to your head, so your hands are free. Windows itself includes a little recorder to produce audio files, but this program does not fit the bill. There are some cheap programs which will produce voice recordings in a more convenient way: they...

I do not understand what you write. The 0.01 I added are the "Regulatory fee" as stated on the site of IB. E.g. the 1,91 for the FDAX are for intraday trades. If you hold overnight it will be 2,01 (one night). Could you post an exact example of what is your interpretation? regards...

it depends upon what future you trade: for the FDAX it is: 1,00+0,40+0,50+0,01 = 1,91 + overnight fee for the FESX it is: 1,00+0,40+0,30+0,01=1,71 + overnight fee for the Bonds it is: 1,00+0,40+0,20+0,01=1,61 + overnight fee. Overnight fee = 0,10 per night. So it looks like for a...

Is anyone watching the Nyse Tick supplied by IB? I just started doing so (again) and it looks pretty close to my real-time data feed. Did IB announce their Tick to be reliable now? Many Thanks Bernd Kuerbs

@Cutten Like Tradersaavy I'm interested in your fills: looks like you got partial fills at your open, the market were trading between 92 - 94 then. How many fills at what size? Many Thanks Bernd Kuerbs

Volume up to now (do not have access to this figures myself they come from from another board by RSPhoenix) TNS 13 Contracts TNM 5214 Contracts TNL 21863 Contracts TBX 5742 Contracts Regards Bernd Kuerbs

Hi nononsense, yes, very interesting. I'm getting MD for the TNL too, but not for the TBX (did not check the other tickers). I'm on gw1. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

Hi nononsense, when in symbol mode, you have to enter the correct exchange name too. Any typo here and you get the error message you mentioned. I switched to "underlying mode" (from menu "view"), then entered "TNL", then simply follow the context menus which pop up. I then switched back to...

What do you mean? I see quotes and trades. Volume is much less than on eCBOT, but this is to be expected. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

Have a look at Unfair Advantage, www.csidata.com . I never used them, but they seem to fit your bill. Nice sunday Bernd Kuerbs

You mean this one? Most violent reaction in the Bund I have seen for quite a while. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

IB does charge a Cancel- and Modification fee for Eurex products: 0.50€ for each modification or deletion of an order. On the other hand: you get an execution credit of 2.50€ per side, that is one roundturn yields 5.00€ credit. This is independent of the size of the order. Any...

Try this: http://autotrader1.home.comcast.net/ The programmer of Autotrader makes his announcements in the IB "Freelance Tools" forum. So if you want to keep informed about these tools, look there. regards Bernd Kuerbs

Another possibility to check what server you are on: Open a DOS-box, type "Netstat / a" (without the "s of course) and then you should see a list of connections, among them gw1.ibllc.com or gw5.ibllc.com (the HK server will show another number). Regards Bernd Kuerbs

Your TFT panel does have a native resolution: Look it up in the manual and set your card to use this resolution. Every other resolution will have to be interpolated by the monitor and usually results in a less optimal picture. You did not write whether your graphic cards offers a DVI port? Or...

Depends on the order-type you have chosen. Globex offers native stop limit orders (which have to obey certain rules), stop orders are simulated by IB, that is, these orders are on IB's servers. Look at the status color of your order: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/index.html See...
