I recalled the embassy this morning to get a second advice( 14.5 EUR again ) and the guy told me the same thing. As soon as I don't come to work for a US entity or for studies, I just need a B1 visa. So I guess I am fine.

I have been in St Petersburg in 2008 and I was quite shocked to see the number of people drinking in the street. All king size beers, gin or vodka tonic in cans. I suspect it has to do with the cold, the reduced day time and a generally "sad" country, people and architecture. Not ot say there...

Thanks now is now, My sponsor? My broker? He won't give me that kind of letter. He just provides brokerage service. I think I will rent an appartment...

Yep, that sums it up. I will trade for my own individual entity( lacks a better word as I don't have a company but just an individual status in France). I can do it from anywhere but here I will do it from my broker's office.

Sorry, I made an error. B1 Business visa :http://travel.state.gov/pdf/BusinessVisa.pdf Same kind of treatment than B2 tourist( no visa for me ).

Yes, I suffer ADD, ABD, MDMA, Asperger, Amsterdammer and Amsterdam Navigator, so I take D-phenilalanine, oestrogen, betacaroten and active bifidus every day...Does it belong in this forum now? :D

I accidentally put this thread in psychology instead of career trader, can you move it elsewhere, mods please ?

Even worse, futures = financial weapon of mass destruction and not through the internet, through a direct line from the CBOT building. Am I facing life sentence?:D

Hello, I will come in Chicago coming fall for 3 months. I am contemplating immigration and want to experience the city before going further. I will trade from my broker's office in the CBOT, along with meeting people, immigration lawyers and so on. Which visa do you think I need ? I won't...

Hello, I will come in Chicago coming fall for 3 months. I am contemplating immigration and want to experience the city before going further. I will trade from my broker's office in the CBOT on a daily basis, along with meeting people, immigration lawyers and so on. Which visa do you think...

Hello, I wanted to transfer my automated systems on a new computer running on windows 7 but I can't get my spreadsheets working correctly. I use the same excel 2006 version and the same spreadsheets but there is something in the format that makes it unreliable. It's weird because the...

Thanks a lot Spacewiz. Much appreciated.:)

Same thing here. Windows 7 and Excel 2006. Does anybody know how to fix it?

I am in the process of stopping drinking. I used to drink a lot, almost everyday and in big quantities( more than 1 bottle a day for sure ). Since last year, I have reduced tremendously along with practicing sport everyday and focusing on more adult stuff ( I'm 27 ). I only drink once a...

If you are trading metals, energy or ICE indexes or softs, trade directly the settlement contract. If you aren't, learn the exchange rules that determines settlements( usually a VWAP of last 2 minutes or something like that ) and try to enter the regular market at what will soon be the...

OK thanks.

It's not IB charts or DOMs. I never use them. But my desktop has TWS running auto systems and scanners with 100 lines of quotes, CTS T4 running with 30 DOMs and T§S and a quote board, and an internet browser for ET and occasionally music videos. Time for an auto system laptop? Thanks:)

Thanks Lee, all very useful info. I'm not really computer litterate. Perhaps it's simply because of lack of memory. I only have 2 GB of memory and I am running not charts but 24 DOMs and T§S.It makes sense that it's not the connection because my other front end( CTS T4 ) almost never...

Moreover, did everybody TWS freeze at 10:30 AM ET when the index plunged? It becomes an habit for TWS to freeze when there is too much activity.

Hello IB API traders, I have an automated trading system ( excel DDE )that cancel/replace limit orders in a dozen of markets and this afternoon TWS froze, sound alerts for market data and trades didn't work, orders were filled and when I realized it 5 minutes later, it was too late.... I lost...
