It's a inspiring system indeed, but I have a question here. Suppose the Opening range is 100-110, the long position is entered above 110, then if the price drops below 100, will you just close the original long position,or will you also reverse to establish a short position.

Thanks . I understand IB has a backup server for each account, My current server is the HK server. in this case, is my backup server also a HK server or it is a server in US/EU ?

TGM It is a bit off the topic, so I will reply brieftly. 1-Yes, I like Shanghai 2-I use stop orders a lot but there is no such order type in Chinese futures exchanges so I am not trading domestic futures currently.

it's midnight 0:06am here and I have to go off for the time being, will answer tomorrow

I am in Shanghai too. Both last night and tonight I can login to IB without problems, but I connect to IB HK servers. Did you try to connect to their US server ? (Depending on the ISP you use in shanghai, you may have difficulty tryiing to login through the US servers )

My TWS ( to IB HK server ) have been running nicely for the last two weeks, there is no problem described by US clients of IB these two days on ET BBS . But I only trade HSI through IB, I do not trade US markets.

How to have two accounts (for one person) in IB ? I think this option is a valid one ? I called earlier this week to IB customer service to ask to change my server from US server to Hong Kong server, but they told me they change servers for clients only once a week in the weekends so I have to...

I just noticed this 4:1 margin . I remembered in the past, the margin ratio is 2:1 on my IB account. When did they begin to make it as 4:1 ? Also, it may sounds a very naive question, but what does this margin ratio mean to a futures trader? And as IB margin for intraday futures trading...

TODAY'S host monitor results from my location (shanghai )

Is the server of webtrader located in US , not in HK ? Currently the ping time to wt1.interactivebrokers.com is very similar to the ping time to gw1.ibllc.com ( IB US trader ), both above 2000ms, very slow to open the webtrader page. (Actually unworkable ) Does IB have servers for webtrader in...

ptunic Personally I think unless forced to do so by outside forces, Chinese government will not reverse or slow down economic reforms . And yes, as the momentum of our economic entity has been much bigger than before, it is better to act more cautiously than before. Such as the recent 2%...

yeah, I do not know what do you mean by "outlet ", is it a wholly-owned international connection bandwidth, or a VPN or DDN line ? At least VPN or DDN line is available here, but at a much higher rate, not comparable with above-mentioned 512k bband connection (USD15 per month for unlimited...

Chinese people now came to understand the population control policy of the government. In the past, China is an agricultural society, the more population of a family, the more workingpower. But with agricutural technology developed and rural areas urbanized,the concept of unemployment become...

Michael Thanks for your comments,I had to use English (and some other languages) everyday in a multinational company. Regarding China, it is a big topic, isn't it ? But as this thread is somewhat related to China, I do not mind writing a bit more. I am in my early 30s and worked in the...

Yeah,development in China is unbalanced between east coastal area and inland areas. There are about 48 million people still use dialup connections, but in cities like Shanghai, Beijing , you will find it easy to have a bband connection. ( Actually now 50 million people in china use bband...
