But running them "as-is" would violate the copyright? I guess this also applies to the "Lindows" project where you're essentially copying the names and functionality of the WIN32 API DLLs.

Has anyone researched the legal aspects of programs that will run easylanguage code, or for that matter any other types of code (for example traders studio basic, wealthlab wealthscript, or amibroker's formula language)? Would writing such a program to process easylanguage instructions...

Thanks guys. Do you happen to know if they block incoming connections? I know they said you cannot host sites but my interest is in connecting to my PC from external locations (using remote desktop). I'm just concerned that they specifically block ports, we ran into that issue trying to...

You were able to have Comcast and FIOS at the same time (they said something on the website about using existing coaxial cables)? For reliability purposes I now have both cable and DSL but if I can replace DSL with FIOS for an extra $5 a month it's definitely worth it. I have my cable...

Is anyone out there using IB's TWS over Verizon FIOS? Are there any issues to be aware of? I just found out it's available and it's about $5 a month more than my current DSL but it's significantly faster....but if it will give me problems I don't need that.... SSB

Do they track the horrible fills and outright theft and fraud you get when trading at NYBOT? :p

I use Tradestation's pit trading account. You use their special app to trade. It's not a bad app although it could use an update. It also includes data you can view in notepad (intraday and daily) and then save to a CSV for use in Excel or other apps. Their commissions are very good, but...

Thanks. Now I can lose money all through thanksgiving :D

From what I can tell the NYMEX is not closing early at all tomorrow, including the floor? Can anyone confirm this?

You can print them, scan them in, and email them to IB. I've done that for opening all my sub-accounts. The details on what you can send (for example they accept PDF, JPG, etc) are documented as well. This saves stamps and the wait (and the possibility that the wonderful USPS loses them)...

Unfortunately you will need to do the paperwork again....although you might try calling, there's a small chance they'd let you re-use some of it. Jack is right about the commissions. But note that if you switch to unbundled futures commissions and trade a lot you can get discounts on...

Tradestation can handle multiple processors, but I don't know if it's been optimized. Because "tradestation" is actually made up of multiple processes it will use two CPUs better than say Wealthlab which (for now at least) is tied to a single CPU. But I doubt this increases the speed of TS all...

I'm looking to get a very cheap low end wireless tablet pc that I can use mostly around the house to connect to my desktop PC. I already have a wireless G router, and I'd like to use this tablet to remote desktop to my PC while I'm outside supervising the kids on the swingset, or sitting...

Yeah, I basically do the same thing in my TWS (Interactive Brokers) but I was curious if you thought it was better to roll the night before the last trading day or the morning of....

Can anyone suggest when the best time to roll QM positions? I think tomorrow is the last trading day for December (QMZ6) and I see more volume tonight in the Jan contract. Would tonight be a better time or should I wait until the morning and better liquidity? I'm not trying to profit from the...

Start with broad strokes: Is anyone else using a mac?

I'd say linda is correct about a good broker when it comes to trading futures with the thieves on the NYBOT or CME floors.... ...but trading options electronically with 5 different ECNs is a very different game, and I'd prefer to pay less in commissions than to pay more.....

0. Read the manual! :D 1. Make sure you're connecting with a cable (not a wireless connection). 2. Download the firmware upgrade to your local PC (for example to the c:\temp\ folder) 3. Go to that screen you posted in the router configuration and then click "Browse", then browse to...

Yeah, after this fiasco that was my conclusion as well. Hopefully this will become less of an issue as more and more futures go electonic. I've found the slippage is so horrible in the pits in most cases that there's not even a good way to estimate it -- if I use the worst fills I'd never...
