But one very big advantage for using IB over any broker that offers J-Trader is : Your IB account can be held in many currencies and is SIPC insured. Perhaps this doesn't make a difference if you put up $5K but I don't want to lose $50K (or more) because of financial problems on the side...

I won't.... read my post, only the ones really automating will request > 40 symbols

Nana, I don't have to prove I'm profitable or not so I'm not going to do this. (useless discussion) I didn't try to explain PDT rules, I just wanted hime to start trading with real money and the only way to do that in my opinion is to open an account without the PDT rule causing you to...

Try defragmentation.... Goto windows Explorer, My Computer, right click on the disk you want to defragment, click properties, click extra, click defragmentation. This will be like cleaning you desk. Really improves performance. Hope this helps edit : Just saw your last post, you...

My best advice, Since you don't live in the USA (where most of the pro firms are) I don't think it will be possible for you to go with such a firm and get your education form them. If you're lookign for a mentor, what are you expecting ? (Someone who's in a chat room with you, on the phone...

IB, This request has been made several times : The symbol limit (on TWS and the API together) is max 40 symbols.People who would like to automate some strategies have problems with this and would like an increase..... Is it possible to increase this to at least 100 ? People using TWS...

OK, Thanks, didn't know that. Sorry for the wrong information.

If you sell a JAN call, my guess is it will expire in Jan (not Dec) Your risk will be the difference in points between strike price and market price, multiplied by point value. In this case : 112 - 113 * 1000 = -$1000 Of course you have other factors to include (received premium /...

Take into consideration the MFE / MAE and the time in trade. Perhaps you can work on your loosing trades using these numbers. If you want more info, PM me

If you still create profits (other than backtest) I'm sure there are a lot of people who would love to be in your position ....:D :D

There are more firms offering this, so I guess Advanced Futures can do this as well. They are a good firm (personal opinion) and always willing to create good deals for the right persons / volume. I was offered this rate ($3.32 to be specific) for eMini's, using the J-Trader platform, no...

MyTrack requires a trading account with them to get access to their data services (something new) :mad: eSignal is not as cheap as MyTrack or IQFeed..... (But you get what you pay for)

Thanks, that might explain it, didn't think about this.

Just wanted to say I really like the 'new' combined eSignal Premier package. This is a combination of eSignal Equities and eSignal Futures for a monthly price of $129,- (If you want a mix of equities / futures) Also no region fees. :) Now the only thing I want them to change : Market...

I've noticed the following : Afterhours ISLAND (direct routing) from TWS. Stock XXX bid 14.75 (1) ask 14.92 (12) If I enter a sell order at the ask, I see the asksize changing in TWS. If I remove my offer, it gets back to the old size (So far everything normal) BUT, If I enter...

Very well said, without being rude :D :D :D

You can also use eSignal, Mytrack or Quote.Com to write your own software. You can get acces to their servers.
