    Hang Seng HSI Holiday

    Thursday is a HSI holiday (just in case you'd forgotten). Thursday is also the day before the last business day of the month. Thus on Thursday morning we'd expect higher volume in the June Contract and roll to M9. I'm guessing this means that we'll roll over a day early so just a warning...

    The 'Dollar Is Going to Crash' Crowd Are Oblivious...

    That might depend on two things: - who is up against him; and - how well he can blame George In Aus the current socialist (pretended to be a fiscal conservative when getting elected) PM is still aiming to blame most of it on them that went before. I think this thread might well be right...

    Reid psych/profile test

    These tests can all be gamed. The secret is to hold an image of the good employee in your head and answer on their behalf. Always remember to let them have a couple of minor weaknesses so that your gaming is not detected. As a member of a rock group was overheard to say "once you can fake...

    Interactive Brokers intraday backfill data

    If you're using sierra and downloading very large amounts of data set the request interval to 10000 (10s) so that IB doesn't ever give you pacing errors. The download takes a while but its the best way to pull down > about 20 days of data.

    Interactive Brokers intraday backfill data

    The maximum for 30 second interval is 1 year. I think that if you drop to 5 second it is 5/30 of a year. So you could pull 1 yr at 30sec and then just redo the last 2 months as 5 seconds if you needed the extra granularity.

    KOSPI 200 Futures - Traders

    I think that most of the asiapacs are doing it though. I trade hsi but a lot of my friends are trading spi and the aussie stocks - we call it gap and flat. Not the best. I havent checked nk (too flat for me) or stw.

    why IB is not showing the true size?

    Its little wonder no one replied though. I'm a bit of an ib thread addict but I saw the first page and the back and forth and just thought ... "two guys jerking each other off" ... and so, sickened, closed the browser and disinfected my PC.

    Ib

    It varied depending on what you're talking about. The first test for any potential ib customer is navigating the web-site.

    holy guacamole!

    Yes it is. Intraday margin reflects the lower risk to the broker that normal daily fluctuations and liquidity provide. So you need to be in the exchange's day (not my Hong Kong exchange day).

    How to Start TWS from its JTS folder...

    Then you might start by taking the jts directory and adding javaw.exe to it and see what happens when you execute a variation of the command line on a pc without java installed (or maybe a different version ... perhaps it doesnt matter ... a java person might know).
