Hello, I've a problem with IB's excel example sheet that I can't resolve for some time and I'm watching for some help. Please don't flame me, I'm new to VBA... For those using this file, there's a "ticker" sheet were you get your bid and ask quotes for several symbols. When the API is...

Is there no intermarket spread margin credits between those 2 instruments? Investigate LIFFE and EUREX websites. If there are , simply choose the ratio that give you credits. BYE

I've made my first trade on LIFFE today( March Cocoa ). It doesn't seem to move much but the commish are really low: 2.98 GBP RT with a 10 GBP tick. Great.

Thanks a lot.

At least I'm not alone... I think it disappeared after some time 'cause I got filled on half of my orders...

Did they automatically cancel some pending orders 'cause I'm sure I had pending orders that don't appear now and didn't get filled... I don't like that at all... How could I be sure?

I got filled on every possible limit i left = quite a loss...

Down in Grenoble, France... for the IB customer world tour....

It took me 2 years of active trading( I had been investing for 2 years prior to that ) to find a trading style that suit my personnality, involves an edge( no real personnal discretionnary improvements )and make me feel confident( no losing week on this particular method since june and just one...

Just for the record, what I initially said about a 10 lot guy against 2 5 lot guys is just non sense... Of course the 10 lot guy will have priority 'cause it's pro-rata... but I think he will get all the incoming lots, up to 10 if he 's not competing against an other 10+ lots trader... Does...

I don't know if it is my market datas, but I usually see missing( or hidden) size on grains with both IB and TS( IB displays relatively more... ), so it can be an explanation( one other undisplayed size for your 4/4 bid example... ). But I agree there are really strange things sometimes. One...
