Don't confuse the FDIC insured "personal" bank deposit coverage with the SIPC coverage of $100,000 in a brokerage (not futures) account. Of course IB rolls your idle futures funds into your brokerage account so they are covered to a large degree. Jack

In Feb, 2007 they said it would be released later in 2007. In Aug 2007 they said there would be an 8 to 10 month slip. In March of this year they said they were confident of the end of this year (2008), maybe the third quarter. Last month they said they were changing the design to support...

TRC: Confirm that the cable-company provided router has a number of different ports to which you are connecting each computer. If so, the router is assigning a different IP address to each computer and a hub will not help as the router is (more or less) acting as the switch described above...

Junkie: You're right and technically correct. I suggested that Jerry create a new thread if he wanted to discuss the tool set, as opposed to a specific application developed using it. Jack

Jerry: Neither Profit nor Dakota nor Neuroshell are "systems". They are tool sets. I own Dakota and Neuroshell. I've posted a review of Neuroshell here on ET. What you seem to be missing is that both tool sets need to be applied by the user. Both NS and Dakota come with samples. Some...

Jerry: No. I own Dakota. As you are probably aware, there is a private Biocomp forum and Carl is an active participant there. He takes a hit from time to time for delaying new features he has told us about. His reason - the award-wining process control business- was demanding a lot of his...

Jerry: Four posts in June 2006 don't indicate that Carl has time on his hands. The two equities/futures-oriented products Carl offers, Profit and Dakota, are not Carl's main business. I'd suggest you go to the BioCompSystems web site to get up to speed. I doubt that Carl is a regular...

IB issued a followup notice. The $55 only applies to the Professional subscription. The $1 rate still applies to non-professionals. I don't understand why IB can't roll just the Russell into the $10 package. You'd think they could negotiate that with the NYBOT. Jack

rj: You might forward the QT response to your IB "PMer". It might help in their troubleshooting. It makes sense in that IB should reset the total volume to start at 0 for the 1800 ET restart. If they do so, and for some reason it resets, but does not restart the total volume feed, that...

Got an answer from QT support: "The others may be using trade size. QT does not. QT goes by cumulative volume only and IB stops updating that or even sending that at times." In a related thread "rcj" said that IB had sent him PM's indicating that it was their problem. I've asked him if...

Got an answer from QT support: "The others may be using trade size. QT does not. QT goes by cumulative volume only and IB stops updating that or even sending that at times." So it would appear that your PM's may be correct. I say may as you can never tell with this stuff. Did the PM's...

rcj: This is from the "IB data quotes without price without volume thread" OK here is the 6 O'Clock news. I am running QuoteTracker, TWS charts, Multicharts, and at Kiwi's suggestion, SierraCharts. All are connected to my live TWS. Of the four charting packages only QT is not showing any...

What charting package? Jack

AQ: OK here is the 6 O'Clock news. I am running QuoteTracker, TWS charts, Multicharts, and at Kiwi's suggestion, SierraCharts. All are connected to my live TWS. Of the four charting packages only QT is not showing any volume. All four had volume starting at 1600 EDT when I got them all...

I can't comment with any authority on the MSFT student program packages. As I remember they were not to be used for commercial purposes but could be used for just about anything else. The software does not know what's going on, it's just the legal restraint. I'd copy the speadsheet from the...

What version and service pack of Excel on you running on the new machine versus the old one? Microsoft has changed defaults and added security features over time. Jack

In the past IB customer service said that the auto-logoff was a security feature. This was before the security token program was in place. I've made a suggestion in the IB "Features Poll" to modify the auto-logoff for token users. Go here...

I agree. It has to be something IB is doing. However, Multicharts seems to keep working. That's why I want to see what happens with Multicharts at the GLOBEX close/open tomorrow. Perhaps there is some "Start of New Day" signal sent by GLOBEX and forwarded by IB's servers that TWS and...

AQ: You are correct. IB/TWS charting does not support Constant Volume Bars. I downloaded a beta trial copy of Multicharts. Added the ES symbol with IB as the feed, connected it to the paper trader server and opened a tick chart. Volume worked immediately with backfill and realtime data...

AQ: Something strange here. I started to write a ticket to IB. It was basically what I said in my previous post. However, I decided to take a look at the TWS Real-Time Charts. I set up one chart for for 4 hours, 1 minute bars and another for 1 minute, 5 second bars. Surprise! - They both...
