This has been said perhaps a million times and useless to repeat. We already had neverending heated threads. When some (savy) trader says he is not using stops, it <b>does NOT mean he is opening a trade a let it go until either profit or account blow up</b>, as perhaps some noob would...

We all knew that we could disable the challenge: that's the whole point of this thread. Makes no sense, in my opinion, to have to opt out, because of inappropriate design. Emergency procedure are good to have, but correct the bugs and the nonsense in the first place, please. It's 5 mins...

Yes for temporary internet disconnections, often it reconnects without rechallenging. But occasionally it does re-challenge (even if no internet disconnection occurred). I lately get an avg of more than 3 pop-ups per day: destroying any automation. They just need to make sure that <b>the...

Maybe you have not updated. Latest version does that. (I trade several instances 24/7. And so do my traders.) It's sure. Let me say it again: gateway and tws must never rechallenge the user, unless the application is closed by the user. T And more for IB: place an account view (copy...

Now the system is so "secure" that people must give up completely security and login gateway or tws without devices. So if your $$$ disappears from the acct it's your fault (i know it wont). As i already noted in my latest review of IB, i think there is clearly a "genious" now at work...

In real trading, I am not actually seeing any slippage and practically all my executions are "immediate", at least compared to the timeframe of the strategies which make sense to play when one is not colocated. But it may also depend on the instruments traded. Clearly one must carefully...

i pointed out this several times and also sent a personal email to the person in charge about that. See for instance: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3442947#post3442947 They think they know how to code and do not listen to users. my email to AN: "Hi ... ...

A stop is like a "take profit" with a negative amount. If the negative amounts you accumulate exceeed the positive ones, it's not going to be so good ;-)) Some agv up/dn with options will usually do a better job, for discretionary trading... T

Using my <a href="http://www.datatime.eu/public/gbot/GBotScreenshots.htm">bot</a> i usually get fills (lmt orders) in the range 100-400 ms for the round trip (to rome) but my connections isnt particularly fast (residential mc-link) IB paper trading fills are usually significantly slower than...

A subjectivist might say that is "gambling" in the measure you feel so, according to your current state of "knowledge" specific to the phenomenon and according to the ratio uncertainty/capital. Lower state of such a "knowledge" and higher uncertainty will increase the variance of the outcome...

I am in disagreement with this statement. So if you study hard, graduate and take your PhD you are "gambling" because you dont know whether you will get your dream job ? Everything (including matter) has some uncertainty but for this reason we don't say that we are gambling all the time...

Well i must go now. It has been a pleasure. I hope that i have not exceeded with "vinegar" vs "honey", while trying to make my point, and the "good" of IB. And, if it was perceived so, <b>I do sincerely apologize</b>. Let me <b>thank</b> an IB manager for removing limits from my...

Thank you. I really appreciate your concern and help. T

expected something better.

Ridiculous ? No why ? Yes, i really hope one day to get enough experience to automate. Where do you suggest to start from ? T

Thanks a lot for teaching me. I appreciate. T

Here is another genious. <b>"save on bandwidth"</b>, as clearly stated, is a literal quotation from IB (#519857). Learn to read, before putting "fuck's" on your mouth. If you dont like this thread "then fuck off somewhere else", as well. Tom

I cant give less about the demo. What really bothers me i see clear signs of idiotic management. <b>It does not take much for idiots to destroy what a brilliant person created in a lifetime.</b> Even a retarded chimp understands clearly that makes no sense to limit paper money, as this...
