    Fraudulent Behavior Button Trader

    PayPal works with daily runs. When you take a 1 month-subscription on Dec-5 then the next subscription-payment run is for you on Jan-5. Best is to cancel at least one day before your scheduled run. so on Jan-4 or several days (weeks) earlier.

    Fraudulent Behavior Button Trader

    The Facts: On 2007-08-03 jtTrader subscribed to ButtonTrader via PayPal for a 1-month repeating period. He liked it very much and wanted a more economical subscription, so he Cancelled it on 2007-09-03, and took a 3-months repeating subscription instead, which he didn’t cancel. PayPal...

    IB -- No Connection??

    This morning, from The Netherlands, we had IP-comm problems as well, but only to USA-server. I have two TWSs running one connected to European-server, and one to the usa-server. The USA-TWS had a pink-screen (as it should have, when your IP-comm has troubles), and checking pingplotter, it...

    IB - need to be long and short a stock at the same time

    Various, trading strategies need such a feature. For instance: if you have a long-term vision on the ES-future, and want to daytrade (scalp) as well. Then you like to enter a long-term (long or short) bracket-trade, and keep the Target en Stop-orders untouched (as well as P&L, position...

    I completely agree.

    Button Trader ?

    Not that I know off. I have installed QT with its default settings (connected to TWS/IB), and use it now and then for its charting. I actually never tried the trade feature, so I don't know if that needs some addition QT-settings (which need or don't-need to be disabled).

    Button Trader ?

    TWS-API is made in a way, that only one Order/Position-management-tool can be connected (need ClientID=zero). But you can connect up to 7 Charting-apps (other ClientID's). So any Charting-tool (like QT, Sierra, Ensign, etc), will work together with TWS + ButtonTrader (or any other Trading-app)...

    For crying out loud IB ... please release TWS 876

    Yep, the Pending-Cancels can be ignored in TWS screen, but there is a very real impact. Because of a side-effect, which blocks and/or delays, the transmission of the Execution-report belonging to that Pending-cancel. If you are using a Single-account TWS, then the execution report is somewhat...

    For crying out loud IB ... please release TWS 876

    Well, crashing orders sounds serious! Actually EVERY thing that makes Trading impossible, unsafe, unstable, and dangerously costly, should be considered as a show-stopper for the TWS-version to be released. In this context, a faulty chart (which seems your primarily problem with versions 873...

    "IB NOT a TRUE real time data source!"

    Correct!...using snapshot and 5 secs-RealTimeBars together, it gives, for nearly all tools, all what is needed. (Only for "TapeReading" tools you will need accurate T&S).

    "IB NOT a TRUE real time data source!"

    Third datafeed providers: yes (because of the need for accurate Times&Sales, something IB sadly does not offer). Other Brokers?...not on sort notice, because reliability and specialisation and support, is more important. {Other questions: please in the forum, pointed in the previous post}

    "IB NOT a TRUE real time data source!"

    "Price data accuracy" is not what is important it is "Price data real-time accuracy" what counts...in this respects an accurate real-time Best-Bid and Best-Ask is more valuable to have than a Last-Trade-print (which is already history {trade is done in the past: but Bid/Ask is the next thing in...

    Simulated Trading vs. Real Trading - ButtonTrader

    Ha..Ha... a good one ! Actually I had it happening to me, that I thought I was playing (and testing) in Simu-mode for more than an hour, and made a nice profit without knowing that I actually was in real-trade-mode...Oops... The strange thing was that I was mad about it...although I made a...

    IB; Biggest Possible Improvement?

    Valid points, but it could be implemented without much overhead (that should be the intention). Forget about bar-charts and their time-periods..that's not what we need (and the responsibility of the client-software)..but instead keep using the snapshot-feed. "Simply" add 2 fields to the...

    BUTTONTRADER: 2 concurrently opened buttongrids on one TAB

    To Dandxg: I looked into ZG (Gold ECBOT) yesterday, and was at first very disappointed in the ticker (no volume, no nice plot of the tickchart, so not suitable for scalping)....but then I learned on the ECBOT website that ZG is not traded in the front month (August or September), but in...

    BUTTONTRADER: 2 concurrently opened buttongrids on one TAB

    I have no experience with ZG (I will check it today), but scalping really fast markets like ER2 and HSI are giving no problems at all. Yesterday at the opening I traded ER2 and got a execution that fast that my mouse-finger was still going up after the click on the sell button... But to be...

    BUTTONTRADER: 2 concurrently opened buttongrids on one TAB

    Bolter answered it very well in the previous post. If you want to trade then you need a Price-ladder (a sheet can show more tick-charts but only one Price-Ladder). So it is: a) two Tabs or b) Two Containers side-by-side. Please PM me if you need more help.
