    Eurex DOWN on eSignal

    Could be an Eurex issue: IB and Data Vendors like eSignal and CQG use different data feeds from Eurex. IB distributes the Member data feed and the Data Vendors get the Quote Vendor feed from Eurex. And it is back now. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

    Is IB OK?

    Sorry, I'm connected to the Swiss server. Their system status page says everything is ok. Try calling the customer service. regards Bernd Kuerbs

    Possible Etrade Fraud

    A good protection scheme seems to be to use Win XP Pro/Win 2000 and use a normal User account, i.e. no Power User account and especially no administrator account. You should even disable autoruns for the user account you use. You have to use the NTFS file system. Any malware which then gets...

    A good book in spanish??

    Sorry, no. But be sure to look for a reprint. In the preface to the German Edition the editor mentions 5000 British Pounds for an original - in 1984 :D . Have Fun Bernd Kuerbs

    A good book in spanish??

    What about "Confusion de Confusiones" by Jose de la Vega, Amsterdam, 1688 (Yes, that's 1688!). Probably one of the oldest book about trading. I know only a German translation, much edited. The original will be hard to read since it is beefed up - as was the fashion then - with many...

    No quotes/transactions on DAX and 5 points gap???

    Yes. I use eSignal as data provider, so you should see the same data. If not, try to log-out and -in again. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

    No quotes/transactions on DAX and 5 points gap???

    Must have been a problem on your site or your eSignal Server. I see lots of trades in the time-span you mentioned. After you logged-in again, do you still see the gap? regards Bernd Kuerbs

    You don't understand German? Such an easy language, even the kids here understand it..... All you have to understand is the date and time of the report releases. The symbols they use: Exclamation Mark: important report. Electric sign: possible market mover. Star: date updated...

    IB's US tax forms for non-US customers

    What's so difficult about filling this form? I have to do it myself, but I don't remember Section 9 - 11. Just tell them you are a non-US individual. Taxes are handled differently in each country. Can't you simply ask your tax office? Much cheaper than asking a professional consultant and...

    Any one trade bund outright?

    Have a look at the product specification. Trading hours are from 8:00 CET to 22:00 CET, that is 2:00 EST to 16:00 EST. Watch out for the last week in March, when Europe switches to DST, but the USA one week later. You have the know the Eurex Trading Calendar but of more importance is to...

    How do you backup your system?

    The "bootable rescue media" is usually a CD you have to create before you can use True Image in a real crash: When your harddisks crashes, your PC cannot boot from it, you will have to boot your (any) system from another medium, usually a CD. True Image will create such a CD with all the...

    Not impressed......

    If I remember correctly then eSignal has an EFS-Performance monitor. Maybe you could use it to find out which EFS-study (if any) is using up most of CPU-time. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

    TWS Help

    The probable reason is that IB changed the parameters in the start-up command of the TWS. Starting TWS by clicking on the icon on your desktop should have worked (if you did that and got the error nevertheless, well then you have caught another glitch). Starting via an entry in your program menu...
