IB had asked for beta-testers and I had volunteered. They moved my account to a different server within gw1. After I saw the bad quotes (they were plain simply wrong, not late) I called the hot line and they moved me back. It took about half an hour or so. If you want to be moved to a...

How do you monitor your connection? Try a product like "pingplotter" to monitor your route to IB. Do this for several days/hours and you are likely to see some funny spikes in the ping times. Nothing you will take note of during normal surfing, but something that is likely to temporarily confuse...

In a german board some users complained about this, too. I have had no problem all morning, I'm on gw1. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

The FDAX is quoted in 0.5 points = 1 tick worth 12,50€. So one full point equals 25€. The Eurex exchange (where the FDAX is traded) charges a cancelation/modification fee in an attempt to somewhat limit automated trading. The model they use is different from the one IB uses. IB charges...

It is a novel business idea (I do not want to say or imply the author of Spybot did invent it): The author asks user to make donations. Though only a tiny fraction of the users does make a donation, since the software is used a multi-million times around the world he earnes a very comfortable...

Since start of this week the electronic trading platform XETRA for the german stock market closes at 17:30 CET (11:30 EST). So some BUFs had fun in gunning stops. Advice:Until Eurex US starts, exit your DAX-positions before 11:30 EST. If you want to keep overnight positions, you will have...

Eurex is down. CBOT will love it ....... Regards Bernd Kuerbs

Ok, let's have a look at the numbers. These are times measured by me via pingplotter. I'm in Europe and using a not so fast internet connection. With a fast one my time to IB Swiss would be 30ms. Regards Bernd Kuerbs

These settings work insofar, as ButtonTrader will "refuse" to let you trade. Of course you may simply change your settings as to make them useless or use TWS itself. There is no replacement for traders' discipline! In my opinion the most important of all settings is "max loss per day"...

From the IB system status page: "Please note due to a technical problem logging on to Trader Work Stations is not possible at present. Updates to follow shortly." Have a nice(?!) day Bernd Kuerbs

The same over here. Do they want us to have a long weekend? Bernd Kuerbs
