Before I upgrade to 7.0 can somebody tell me if you can make 1 min charts in the new version that do not cover the entire day similiar to the ones on Qcharts? I hate having to zoom ten times a day.

Thanks for the info Ernie. I checked all the things mentioned. I said that going back to win98 solved the problem. Not true. Yesterday it froze on me again. This is driving me bananas. I did not have the problem with the previous version of Java. Could that be the problem? I cant believe that I...

"Maybe my discombobulation had something to do with the weird stubbornness that then took me over. " Ah yes. This "wierd stubborness" is my nemisis. I, too, thought the ticks were strange yesterday. Not at all what I would have expected for a trend day up. They seen to move inversely...

I instdalled Zone Alarm yesterday, the pro version. I have already received several notices that someone was trying to get in. I would think it was just cookies or something but I was not even using the browser last time it happened. Scary stuff.

This morning right after I logged into IB I got a notice from ZoneAlarm that someone was trying to access my computer from 67.232.136.250. Does anybody know a way to track this down to the sender?

After install win2000 on my broker computer I had problems with TWS freezing up after about an hour. I could not do anything with it, even shut it down. Had to reboot. Support suggested updating video drivers so I went one further and bought a new video card with 2000 drivers. This did not...

Quite a coincidence. I just outlined this scenerio in a reply to another thread. I would like to see IB require confirmation by telephone for email changes and fund withdrawls.

The problem is you can create a yahoo or hotmail account in 5 minutes under any name you want. I dont see where that will do any good at all.

Thanks all. Looks like a Matrox pci is my best bet.

I'm running win2000 with a dual head Matrox 450 and an ATI pci for the third monitor. I cannot get another pci video card to install. I have tried three different cards and all will lock up the o/s. I am thinking about getting another pci Matrox card. Anybody currently running with 4 monitors...

If they got your password they would then have to change your banking instructions which would have to be confirmed by an email to you which you would see in time to notify IB that something was amiss unless they could intercept and delete your confirmation email before it got to you. Is this...

Obviously you cant beat the crap tables over the long run but it is quite possible , on any given night, to get hot and take a chunk from the house. Stay away from the proposition bets. Play the line, take the odds. Cross your fingers.

Nitro Would you please elaborate a little? You think the java based software is good? The reason I am asking is that I am having problems with TWS freezing up and was wondering if java had anything to do with it. I know nothing about programming. As far as TWS in general, I love it...

I think volume is pretty important in any time frame. In a trend, a retracement on light volume is an indication that the odds slightly favor continuation. Heavy volume on a spike is a pretty good indication that a reversal may be at hand. This is pretty important stuff imo.

I seem to have offended Limbo whom I respect so I must be doing something wrong. Nobody can make more mistakes or do anything dumber than I have done in my quest to learn to trade.

The reason I frequent this board is because there is lots of useful information re: brokers, software, hardware, etc. Also a good laugh now and then.

Limbo The question was, unless I am missing something, "Can anyone tell me how to trade the index stocks profitably?" I am sorry but this type of question cracks me up. From day one I never expected anyone to tell me how to trade stocks profitably. If you sit down at a poker table and ask...

I am constantly amazed at how naive people are. No offense intended Daytrader but your question, rephrased is :" Can somebody please tell me an easy way to make a bunch of money?" If you put your question like that would you expect a serious answer?

Speculation about the future is futile. Free yourself from any bias and take what is offered with no regrets.

Tuesday after reinstalling TWS about 9:50 am, it vanished from my screen. I pulled it back up and it had a popup about auto logoff. I reset if for 4:00 pm and it was ok. I was also having a problem with p/l from the previous day remaining on my screen the following day. They told me to delete...
