Hi, IS it possible to add a hotkey setting for the 'order' window ? That would help because you can only get this screen with a mouse click now. (stop orders must use the order window to be fully defined) neo

nice new version... keep it up ! thank the programmers and yourself Def neo

Kicking, I guess this netfutures thing does not include the exchange fees. Otherwise they have to loose money somehow with high volume traders.

that's true. but the order still has to be sent somewhere. the routing is very important then. do you post your bid on island or or another ECN or do you give it to the specialist at NYSE ? you have to make this choice or let the 'BEST' (worst?) make the choice. neo

about the freezing of IB. Yes it happens... and I soon will have a clue for you all. I do not right now but let me give you the context : 2 machines, sharing the same DSL connection through a router and ethernet switch. one freezes, not the other one ! so it is not the internet connection...

yes that`s precisely right. I don't know how IB does it in fine details, but the result is as described in the thread. You change the existing order, so if filled before the change is confirmed is no issue, the order does not exist anymore. It is a great feature and unlike 'cancel-new order'...

yes, of course. you may change size, price for limit or stop limit orders as long as the order is not executed. NB : a change is not 100% sure to make it to the exchange as you know. So you may run out of time in between sending the modified order and execution. But usually it takes 1 or 2...

IB futures accounts are fine.. In fact as fast as ever. considering the action going on it is great. neo

MrNeutral, I understand you have difficulties with execution. However, please be careful with your comments. Many died because they were helping you trade. Lessons should be learned, I agree. I wished you mentioned the missing or dead in your post to balance your anger against SLK. neo

the IP may be static or dynamic. Nice new routers will log in your cable network. the router is usually a DHCP itself, so it gives an IP to each PC locally. that's getting too technical I guess. In brief, cable routers firewall proxy (like the linksys) can handle your cable internet as long...

Hi Def, IB market depth is very slow compared to Island or CME [see http://207.121.190.247/WebQuote/fortune50a.html ] Is it possible to increase the poll speed of IB JTWS so market depth is refreshed more frequently. If the programmers can do it, it would be fantastic. Also to remember...

cross market selling is likely. japan and europe must be sellers of US stocks at this point. likewise, US is seller of european stocks. it was childish to think the selling would go away after one day. at least, wishful thinking it was. the good thing : markets don't go to zero. so we are...

no more patriotic 'buy the market' sillyness anymore ? OK, maybe we are closer to the bottom then. don't fight the market.

vitajex, many many thanks ! This is precisely what I wanted (and free !).. It is not really easy to read but it is more up to date than IB market depth ! easy to read is good. but up to date is BETTER ! thanks again. neo PS : still interested in any vendor with this, but I can...

Does anyone know where to get emini level II ? IB offers this but too often it lags (just like market depth vs ECN). But unlike ECN, I dont know where to get this data elsewhere... Thank you

all foreign markets gave a lot more back than 5%-8% since last tuesday. The gap down will be huge imho monday. but that's just a gap, it's not the real trouble. It will be difficult to trade this market at least for one hour and maybe more. I base this remark on past big gap down days...

IB JTWS (the java version, now the only one to use) allows you several sessions on the same machine with different accounts. indeed you can not login on 2 machines or even the same with the same account ID. ie open one IB with stocks-options account and another one with futures account...

well said dozu. these are the real arguments here. others I respect your opinion and patriostism. still do not forget the big picture. if you dont want to short its OK. others will (and might get burned in the process). the market has no emotions. Let the big guys support the market, it's their...

That's right IB standalone even works (badly) on a P133 with 32 MB (!!!). I use this as my back up of backup computer.. Over careful ? well.. maybe.. still no worry with your configuration. if you have only IB running (I doubt it) all you need is any Pentium computer with 64MB. If you have...
