The Chinese stock index rose from 1000 points to 3000 points in one year, very curious to know what will be laid on the beach when the tide is over.

I do not use wireless in trading, only FTTB/ADSL broadband . From early this year, I have introduced ATS into my trading, so now I do not even have to stay in the study to monitor my trades. All my Nikkei and HSI trades are executed by the machine automatically,that's why I am staying out of the...

Well, I use 128-encription, no SSID broadcasting and mac address filtering in my wireless router, hope this can be of help when you try to establish connection. :-)

Hi, I work in a 10 square study in my home from 8am-4pm during the day . I have a wireless router of IEEE 802.11g standard ( compatible with IEEE802.11b standard) running 24X7 in this room. I do not stay in the study all time during the trading session but I do use the (notebook + wireless...

Thanks dcraig , but I am using tws 869.3 and java 1.5.10 in both my desktop and notebook. (attached snagfile ) Strangely notebook TWS shows local time while the desktop shows IB server time. I do not know why but the TWS execution report adopt the same time format as the time appearing in the...

Then it must possible to set up the time zone in TWS. IB staffs, can you advise how to do it ? Thanks

I also experienced the same early this week, the connection dropped about 40 minutes, my ATS could not manage the orders, which turned a small profit to a small loss. This does not happen frequently but can be very annoying.

Hi dcraig Is this because you are in the same time zone with the IB server £¿

I do not trade OSE products but since I am in the similar time zone, I noticed in the past half year there are several occasions that my IB TWS poping up a bulletin advising OSE is not tradable at the moment. SNFE also has the same problem ( not tradable sometime ), but Singapore has never had...

Hi, is there a way to synchronize the IB trading server time with the computer time automatically? Currently I only synchronize the computer time with the atomic time server time. My original question was meant to ask if there is a way to show my local ( time zone) time rather than the IB...

I am trading SGXNK, and I noticed OSE always have an issue with tradability. If you are trading the index, have a look at SGXNK listed at Singapore. Similar market behaviour.

Hey, I want to know if there is a way to let TWS show local time instead of server time ( to delete the time gap ), it will be more convenient . Thanks

Come on, do you mean you are involved in automatic trading without some basic coding skills ? It's very dangerous . I definately recommend that you grasp some program textbooks to do some study.

Have you fully backtested your strategy? Some unprofitable strategies suddenly became profitable this year, but they are not expected to be long-lasting. How long test period did you get these 400/700 points optimized profit ? One month ? one week ,or so far this year ?

What do you mean? IB TWS can reconnect automatically when you lose connection. I am also located in Shanghai, I have no connection problem with IB. Please check you network and computer setup. BTW, if you trade on tick data, better use esignal, but then it is not as fast as IB. Tough...

Hi, does Opentick offer exotic symbols like SGXNK, Kospi 200 and HSI ?

check esignal site, probably you can choose/pay market by market

try esignal

Kiwi, Thanks for the tip. Downloaded JRE 1.6, connect to IB, it's not my trading time, will see tomorrow how this new version of java performs in SGXNK and HSI markets.

Thanks, dcraig. It seems many items to be downloaded. JAVA SE 6, JAVA JDK 6, JDK 6 with Java EE,JDK 6 with NetBeans 5.5, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6. Which one should I download ? Sorry I have zero knowledge of Java.
