This may be asking too much, but could we stay on topic. The topic is NT7, not "Why would anyone develop on a retail platform". Someone else can start that thread. BTW, I've spent many many hours coding to the IB API and now I code to NT(6.5). Take that for whatever its worth (sorry, I got...

I would like to start a discussion thread about the state of Ninjatrader 7 which is currently at beta version 7.0.0.19. I realize Ray is sensitive to negative comments about NT but I think we need an open, honest discussion. I hope we can keep the comments on topic and not personal or...

I understand how to "manually" disable automatic updates. I was hoping there might be a script or utility program that would do it automatically. That is: via a script or program, on Sunday night, disable automatic updates and on Friday night, enable automatic updates but enable it in the mode...

Well it looks like I missed it by a day this time. Yesterday, Dec 17th the Feb contract did more volume so I'll have to call it the rollover day however it was close all day and around the reports it looked like the Jan had more volume. Today, Dec 18, the Feb was clearly the contract of...

Thanks paulxx. Do you have any thoughts about dealing with Windows Automatic Updates? I like to turn it off on Sunday nights and restart it on Friday afternoons with the option "Notify me but don't automatically download or install them". I like to read them over before committing to them...

Has a single one of your freedoms been restricted under obama? And is obama going to abolish labor unions, the first example given for the ISM in this silly little propaganda flic. Come on, obama is the most pro labor union president of the last few.

What is going to be messy is the rule-of-thumb that I'm proposing counts back from the 25th of each month unless the 25th is not a business day which next month, the 25th will not be a business day. cT

So far so good. Next month, however, will be a little bit messy with the holiday in there. But following the rule of thumb - Dec 18, 2009. cT

If the group doesn't mind, I'd like to use this thread to document my attempt to reverse engineer a rollover rule-of-thumb for CL. I realize a rollover rule-of-thumb probably does not exist because: a) The fine folks here would have already spelled it out :) and/or b) There is perhaps a...

paulxx, Do you think it's worth it to set up Guard Exceptions in Avira AntiVir. I'm thinking set "File objects to be omitted for the Guard": Add the directory your trading app uses for database. Also perhaps set "Processes to be ommitted for the Guard": Add the .exe for your trading...

Ok, maybe "rollover" was the wrong word to use here. For daytrading, is there some predetermined number of days before contract expiration when the next contract is the high volume contract. For example the ES, NQ, TF, YM at exactly 8 calendar days before the contract expiration, the next...

Is there a rollover day rule-of-thumb for CL similar to the CME's equity index futures which is quarterly on: "Two Thursdays Before the Third Friday". I know the contract expires 3 days before the 25th, but is there a specific day when the next contract becomes the higher volume contract (top...

I'm trying not to jump on board the haters bandwagon, but if you are not willing to disclose anything about what you are showing and you are not selling anything, whats the point?

So how are you identifying commercial volume?

Mirus is at $5.12. thanks, cT

With CRTs, running at lower than the max resolution generally inproves the image quality (at the expense of more info on the screen). However, with LCDs you should only run at the native (max) resolution. All other resolutions are interpolated and generally "fuzzier". If at the LCD's native...

lel4866 very well said. Do you have a particular library/wrapper you like to use to interface C# with IB's api?

For a beginning programmer wanting to learn C++, I would recommend the book "Deitel and Deitel C++ How to Program". Another good beginning C++ book is "Accelerated C++". This book starts with the standard (template) library and progresses from there.

This may have something to do with it. This is from Dec 1, 2008 CME Globex Notice: FIX/FAST Migration Updates Migration & the Elimination of RLC Format The FIX/FAST migration deadline of November 14, 2008, has now been passed. Customers that have failed to migrate off RLC-format market...

Thanks opt789. So a 30" monitor running 2560x1600 looks good at 120 dpi. Thats what I was looking for. Supposedly Visa has something called 'bitmap scaling' that is supposed to help out with apps that dont display well at 120 dpi. I'm using XP now but this could be another reason to upgrade...
