The way I do this is a ssh connection (my company does allow outbound ssh), with port-forwarding enabled. I then point tws (via the config file) to 127.0.0.1:4000, and it works fabulously. If anyone has a unix shell account on a fast host, this is the way to go. And its free! (presuming...

33rd level is a reference to the highest degree attainable as a member of the Freemasons.. (it's said "33rd degree" not level). Google "masons conspiracy", and you'll learn more than you ever wanted to know.

I'll give 10 pips for the correct etymology of the vernacular "endo" (alt. "indo") in this context (i.e., not the "endo" done with a bicycle).

Actually, Mogadishu is presently a marvel of non-governmental capitalism. Yeah, sure, there are security guards with Uzi's when you line up to buy a cellphone, but it works... And it will keep on working even after the Bushies give up on Karzai and Afghanistan goes back to tribalism.. Not...

Maybe in the short term we'll get a bounce (although I suspect it will be wednesday), but the fact that BOJ, FED, and BuBa all intervened to support the dollar this morning puts the writing on the wall. My guess is everybody's (i.e. international holders) are trying to head for the exits in...

Meteoroligists don't have to meet margin calls if it rains 3 days in a row..

ST: ib LT: schwab Standing wire authorizations between them.. In my LT account I've been buying south african and canadian junior gold miners for the last 2-3 years. Far better returns than my trading account so far. :( I find that buying illiquid stocks in size keeps me from trading...

You're doing the right thing, if you're making money. I'm trading a demo account too.. Caught 30 pips in two days, max drawdown 14 pips. Not ideal, but I'm getting there.. (trade exits and scaling are things I need to work on..) Here's why I like forex, so far: 1. A LOT of specialized...

Give us an update in 3 or 4 months.. I'm running 2 17in, one was $1200, one was $600 (In my defense the expensive syncmaster171 has a built-in tuner and can be used as a television as soon as they come out with 21" flatpanels that can do 1600x1200 for the same price..) The cheaper lcd, a...

btw, I'm running the built-in 15in @ 1280x1024, and an external 17in lcd @ 1280x1024. The newer dells do 1600x1200 (!!), but I'm not sure if the video ram could handle another 1280x1024 inspiron 7500, winxp, 512mb/ram.. nice platform.

Most of the modern dell laptops (inspiron) can handle this. I have an older Insp 7500 that I use in a dual-head setup. It's an older ATI chipset, so I found some experimental drivers (not all vendors will supply multi-head drivers, even if the card can do it-- don't know dells position on this...

Today was my first day on IB also.. Lightning fast (using best_ecn).. Good fills.. I've noticed that if I get filled immediately, it usually means I'm going to lose on the trade. ;) HotKeys _rule_.
