TWS no probs, but need java 1.4, which could cause trouble if you use java apps built for java 1.3 (they are not 100% compatible, i had some probs)

hello jboy: your postings are informative. when i saw the amounts of P/L relative to your size first and the P/L distribution, i was already sure you use a MACD or moving avg (delayed trend following) styled system. here is an important advice: when you start noticing that losses surpass...

would use IB in any way.

IB outage not so bad. IMO. best bang for the buck.

looks like a software glitch then... can anyone of you guys give a feedback to IB on Mo so we can expect to have it fix'd ...

...the question is if IB's smart routing would also consider these facts. i would say no. probably "stubborn ISE routing then"

probably true, tntneo, what about your size ????

tnt: could imagine the following: if you trade more contracts than auto-ex, or auto-ex on the best exch reflected in SMART is off, ib routes the order to the default exchange (opt: ISE, stock: island), where it will of course sit in the book waiting for nothing.

you cannot trade Frankfurt - and that is good because FWB is the ultimate bulls**t. full stop. market makers stealing from small private clients. xetra is excellent. no institutional would ever trade via FWB.

AAA: currency RTH/Globex fully fungible. You will be 100% flat. Bonds: not sure. look at www.cbot.com / search for "fungible" regards, sascha

IMO the "software glitch" is guaranteed to be a fired/to-be-fired or abused employee :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

HAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa if i purchase stocks and sell them at a lower price IB TAKES THE DIFFERENCE OFF MY ACCOUNT. Nooooooo.... HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN.... this thread can be put together with the mike claire stuff. :D

sorry for my inadequate expression - i mean - if IB wants to go public - thx

Def - Are there any plans IB wants to do an IPO in the (far) future - maybe when the markets are better again ?

i am -=THE BACKTESTER=- i say: MACDs do not make sense. MAs do not make sense. EMA/SWMA/bulls***-weighted-MAs do not either. if it was that simple, bill gates (su***r) would compare poor guy to me. do not take me to personal:D
