    IB's Data Feed is Useless With ButtonTrader, NinjaTrader, ect...

    Hi Johnny, I posted earlier that I would love to see IB go tick by tick. However, whether IB, X-trader or Y-trader, they are all faced with the same technological situations: many ticks, many users, lots of bandwith. How to tackle this: install heavier servers, pay for faster communication...

    What's the best way to clone a hard drive?

    Hi gnome, Nice to find you on this old thread as well. If I may add my own private view. Why absolutely wanting to clone a drive? I used to be involved with these kind of jobs till a year or two ago. Further, some posters, in the other HD thread, still keep on struggeling with putting...

    IB Release Notes......Build 815

    Hi Def, Nice of you to help. The Java pointed to is Version1.4.2_01 (build b06). In fact I have this version installed on several computers for at least 3 months and have not touched it since. The little ssl problem started at once on each of these computers about one week ago...

    Booting problem

    Archangel, Let's all be happy his problem is solved: To keep some order in what was suggested and what was superfluous: (1) I first suggested he look in his box and check the memory fixings. You said the same; (2) I suggested eventually reinstalling OS, but first to try testing with...

    IB's Data Feed is Useless With ButtonTrader, NinjaTrader, ect...

    Hi All, I think we are pulling together quite a bit of useful information on feeds. PuffyGums, interesting what you say about CME data. I had already noticed some things I did not quite understand. I also would be happy if you could add a little more to your view on the impossibility to use...

    The use of Mysticism to fool the people

    Harry, Before you ramble on too far with this pop, please explain to us what you mean by: (1) mysticism; (2) some "natural order"; (3) pure rational intention. Good to you, nononsense

    IB's Data Feed is Useless With ButtonTrader, NinjaTrader, ect...

    Hmm, I would love to have an IB tick by tick. Things are not that simple though. I believe what you call "snapshot"is simply dictated by plain commonsense economics. The IB approach is a compromise dictated by server bandwith considerations. Now about 1 year ago I did some study recording...

    The Ultimate DAX Scalping Discussion Thread!

    easyrider, I quite share your appraisal of DOM. One or more threads have been going about this and they did not make anybody much wiser I think. As to Jack on this subject, you may remember his story of the fellows standing in line with placards, meeting at a table. This was at the same time...

    Backup Drive

    Good suggestion axeman. In my case however I keep about 50Gbytes worth of HD under backup. I have thought about your solution but I would have to still bring in my Powerquest v2i to handle this incrementally in going to my neighbor's home. v2i can do its job over network links equally well...

    Backup Drive

    Hi All, I use an external Maxtor 250GB "Personal Storage" with usb-2. This works very well. I recommend Powerquest v2i which makes scheduled base and incremental backups. Compared to Norton Ghoast I found v2i much more userfriendly and much more efficient. v2i uses a quick proprietary...

    Booting problem

    Archangel, You did not read my post with much care. Did my first line not read: "Off hand this is hard to tell. Did you touch anything inside your box? Try pushing all memory well into the sockets." Did you suggest anything new? If this does not solve the problem things are not that...

    Booting problem

    easyrider, Off hand this is hard to tell. Did you touch anything inside your box? Try pushing all memory well into the sockets. Often the simplest way is to reinstall. Better still, if you can get hold of a Linux self bootable CD, quickly pop it in and see what it does. You don't have to...

    Computer maintenence

    Hey Longshot, Many paths lead you to Linux. In short, the Linux kernel copyright requires any distributor to also keep full source and distro's available for interested people. (I am not a laywer, this may be a little wrong in some details). In picking a distribution, free or not, you will...

    Dear Captain Future, Don't try to make sense of what Grob writes about. We know him a long time around here as Jack and a couple of other names. Simply let him do is thing and don't ask questions. I admit that he is a furious writer though. Good to you, nononsense

    I need a multi-function laser printer

    This can be a true horror story. Over the years, I have been confronted several times with printer drivers of different makes. (1) For a just realeased printer software shipped with the printer is often unreliable. Manufacturers have support services well trained in shrugging off customers...
