TSE listed the Mini JGB today. As usual I have no problem with the full size JGB but for the Mini I get the following error message. What does this mean, please. Thank you. Order Reject: We are unable to compute a monetary value for this contract.

Rebooting TWS numerous times has fixed the problem. Thank you

I would call IB with this but they are closed now. I have 2 BookTraders open as always. But today one of them would not show Market Depth, just Best Bid/Ask 1. I get a message saying I'm limited to 3 BookTraders. I guess there's an old BT hiding somewhere that I can't find. From which file...

You can open an account with them wherever you are.

You can't open an account with a local Japanese broker if you don't have an address in Japan. However, a Japanese broker, Monex, bought Tradestation, and so at some time in the future foreign residents should have access to the Japanese market through them. Boom Securities in H.K., Phillip...

They just came out with the RC for 11.3 today. A lot of new functions and improvments. Definitely worth a look. http://forum.esignalcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27329

>Flashboy I don't usually make comments on people's trading skills. but I noticed something you might find useful. The line you drew is not a proper trend line. The low of the 3rd bar before you entered the trade is above the low at 1250 just before 13:00. That 3rd bar would have had to...

I'm sorry, Martinghoul, I should have been clearer. HFT is just getting started in stocks here, and lacking first hand experience we only know what we've heard here and there. His concern is if HFT is being done in these contracts to the extent that it makes execution quite difficult when...

Someone whose English is not so hot asked me to post a question for him. He is looking to trade something other than what he trades now, being JGB futures. It's really off the subject of this thread but I thought someone here would certainly know. His question is, does HFT make up a...

While not part of the bug list, I posted the below on another IB software related thread a few days ago. I'm using 911.3 on one computer for trading and have 917.8 on another for back up. BookTrader works perfectly on both...

FYI orders to the TSE used to take 3 to 4 seconds on normal days and longer during heavy trading times. In January of this year TSE installed an up-to-date computer system that can process a zillion orders a second. And they will double the capacity early next year. So now some of the brokers...

>def I just saw this old notice on IB's site which should no longer apply since TSE introduced its new trading system, and with IB now a TSE member execution time should be under 1 second. I get way under a 1 second response with futures for which TSE is still using a system that is older...

I use BookTrader for trading and eSignal for charting. The data never lags and I can't really remember the last outage. Must have been over a year now. Pretty good, I'd say. While the TWS charting still needs work, I can say for sure that the recent improvements in the charting and other TWS...

>def Thanks a million. Attachment gave me a good laugh!!

>def Not related to fees, but one thing you might want to consider for Japan is to provide the option to reverse the Bid and Ask columns in BookTrader. In Japan the Ask Size is on the upper left and the Bid Size is on the lower right. As is, it's an uncomfortable feeling, soft of like...

I use IB only for futures on TSE and OSE, but their fees for stock are pretty much in line with the local brokers here. For futures they are lower than most for the Nikkei and the lowest of all for the Mini. I can vouch for their data. Since they switched to their own data after becoming an...

I am in Asia (Japan) and have never had the problem you describe. If you really had such a problem, it would be normal to contact eSignal support, wouldn't it?

It looks as though this site is copying and posting from Reuters. I'm sure you can figure it out without me translating the table. OSE has the greatest liquidity. http://jpken.weblog.to/archives/cat_50010256.html
