Would KY work? ;-) Missed the early close notification completely :-( and thought it strange that the YM and Euro just kept ticking along. Tried to delete the thread (there were no responses at the time) but was not allowed. Never mind, matters could be worse. (don't like an open trade...

Neither IB nor IQfeed are giving me 10 year notes data - any amiss? Thanks Maria PS resolved - found out that Monday is a public holiday (not familiar with them all living in another country).

Are we having fun now? :) :) :) Maria

Happens regularly on the simulator, will happen in real time too. Except in real time you can ring the trading desk and have it closed manually. All part of the "learning process". FYI this may not be due to IB, your communication link may be broken (there are many servers between you and...

Darvas did. In certain ways Jesse Livermore did. Peace Maria - over and out. (won't say anything more on this subject)

Remember this quote? I see it happen all the time. Peace. Maria - over and out.

1) demise of many (means reverting) algo systems 2) record volatility => more follow through => record trading profits Maria

lugging my laptop around and surfing in internet cafe's: use a Linux "live" cd to boot from (e.g. Ubuntu). Won't access the hard disk at all unless you "mount" the HDD. Some malware is becoming aware of VMWare and behaves accordingly (without disruption), other malware will adapt and then...

If I just may add my $ 0.02 here. All these complaints are those of (more or less) small lot traders that have not been around for very long. Do you really think that a trader with a substantial large position can just get out of a trade when something untowards happens? Were you around...

depends on the exchange - Eurex: I believe on the exchnage, ECBOT / CME: on IB's servers Maria

Sorry for the late reply, have not been here for some time. It was something that had to do with scantily clad women (if at all clad). Dad mentioned that staying there for anything longer than three to six months invited special interest groups requests for making "contributions". E.g. to...

Totally agree, once when you know what to do then there is no other market that can even get close. Having said the above: It does not leave any margin for error and just "winging it" ain't working. (the slightest slip up will get punished severely). In view of the latter I would not...

:confused: where are you getting your figures from? http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/page/0,3181,1265,00.html Maria

I beg to differ in opinion: the lag can be as much as 9 - 10 seconds according to my ISP. However I have a "slow" intraday methodology and have deisgned it so that I can have up to a 4 minute fill period for both entry and exit with no change in results. When ADSL goes down I dial in, have...

that may be true for some of the build in windows functionality but with some after market programs windows can be one of the safest environments around. Simply because M$N is the target of most malware. And it does not need to be a heavy intrusion on your system resources. Allowing to...

heard some rumour that there are problems at the ISP's with large amounts of spam coming through that they have difficulty staying on top off. Perhaps if your ISP is under configured (and most are) then they may have delays on their servers. Have been expecting this for a long time...

The name is rather appropriate, you are still a kid. We have been for over four years with IQfeed and only once had an issue. Do your homework and then you'll discover they are one of the best, and cheapest, for the retail trader. Maria
