Terra Nova-MB used to be called MB Trading. Then the people who run that branch office (of Terra Nova Trading) changed the name to Terra Nova-MB and opened another brokerage that is not affiliated with Terra Nova. They don't use Real Tick, instead they have an order entry module that can be used...

Anybody ever had a problem with a cable modem connected thru USB? voodoo

HKTrader, Here is a link to a really neat site that might answer all your questions: www.elitetrader.com Check it out. voodoo

as for sending in a price greater than the market price, it does not get changed for futures. Thus if you want to set a stop limit 50 points higher, it will get entered with that price.l IB doesn't change the price. For stocks it needs to be changed because there are rules requiring orders...

Btw, the algorithm for simulating market orders on futures exchanges is explained on the web site. Futures Market Simulation Price capping is used to obtain the best price in the market while increasing the probability of an execution. Futures Market order simulations are submitted at...

I noticed that, and my post is Globex specific, all but the last two lines of it. voodoo

voodoo, given the holiday i haven't been able to confirm your questions regarding the order price. i do however believe your order will be handled the same for globex as it is for the other futures markets - i.e. what you send gets sent. In it's original format? In other words if I send a...

Ok nitro, never mind the part about your post. I changed the number of posts displayed on each elitetrader page and got a little confused :) I guess I need one of those idiot-proof web browsers - one without a back button. The other stuff was not in reference to anything you did...

Ah...the quick sand thread... It's so much fun trying to keep up with a thread when the posts are disappearing right under your nose - one second there was a post from nitro with a new and improved version of Candle's signature, checked the previous page for older posts, came back, it's gone...

Stops are never submitted to Globex, they're synthetic. Once triggered limit orders are submitted. It's all explained on the IB website. voodoo

1:1 That'll be $50, thank you. That's a cool looking indicator, if a bit obscene. Reminds me of Speed Racer (the cartoon, sorry, anime, or was that just a cartoon?) I'll add it to my favorites, under 'Funny', right there next to Spectre Level 8 trading. voodoo

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) "Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance." - Will Durant "Wise men make proverbs, but fools repeat them. " - Samuel Palmer (1805-80)

Notice the 'download in spreadsheet format' option on the bottom of that page. Yahoo also has a lists of stocks that currently trade. You can find such lists elsewhere as well. Check google for handlers/scripts etc. that might be already out there, that pull such data off of websites. One...

Are stops held on Globex visible to anyone (for example someone with access to a Globex terminal?) I assume that's not the case, but just wanted to make sure. Another thing, does anyone know what kind of orders are accepted by Globex. There is no information on this at the cme website. I...

http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/retailAccount/products.html As this page shows, IB offers simulated stops on ARCA, triggered by 2 ask/bid prints. voodoo

You just had to post that in every (almost) forum on elite?:mad: voodoo

The whole 'price improvement' thing is a lot of nonsense. It's another way of saying that NYSE doesn't show real bid/ask prices. The real issue is, what is the cost of doing a round trip (ignoring commissions.) That cost will be equal to the average spread. If you were to take all the issues...

Yes, what about Amsterdam, if you can't trade there either, you can always just get stoned and forget about it. :) Seriously now, what are the rules concerning trading and taxes on trading profits in the different European countries (east and west?) I live in one of them, but haven't really...

Neo, DDE is basically a protocol that lets two different applications talk to each other. So you could have a program that talks to the TWS and sends in orders for you. Pretty much the only reason to do that is to automate order entry, either partially (you still make the trading decisions...

limit, Those don't work for me. Again, does anyone know why RealTick is using non-standard codes for the contract months? voodoo
