Most of us have seen 3rd party data packages LAG at one point or another, typically when the market heats up, gets volatile, like after an important announcement. In other words, at that moment you're trading blind. One way of thinking about this is: It's a cost of doing business. One...

Looks like an answer is not going to be forthcoming. But in case, let me repeat your question: Which data package are you talking about, and how much does it cost? OldTrader

Why not post one of these trades real time? I'd like to see it. OldTrader

I guess the solution here is to subscribe to the IB data. Corrects all your problems does it not? And lets face it, none of the data anywhere is so expensive that it makes or breaks your deal does it? Between you and me, I think you are trading blind. You just don't know it. And the day...

Yeah, can you imagine the wail that would have gone up had someone actually managed to get MidKnight's money transferred out to an account with his name on it that was actually controlled by a crook? LOL. One way create a problem with a wire transfer is to CHANGE where you want your wire to...

Your point is not valid at all. Users need to read the users guide, familiarize themselves with TWS. That includes you. Many of the negative posts we see here are a result of people who didn't put the time or effort in to actually do some reading and study BEFORE using the software...

Good post. OldTrader

Got tired of posting one trade? LOL. But I don't have any idea of what you're doing. I only know what you posted. I ASSUME no one rides oil the wrong way that far. Seems to me though that if you're going to have a Crude Oil Journal you would post your trades. Or, if you're making numerous...

Maybe I can help you out here. He's being sarcastic. Probably a little frustrated over what oil is doing relative to his economic forecasts. I doubt if he has a position. My guess is he's papertrading. I don't know anyone riding oil for a $8-$9 loss (so far). OldTrader EDIT: Then...

Congratulation! That long trade at 79.40 is your best trade so far. LOL. Maybe sarcasm as a trading tool will work out for you. OldTrader

Yeah, that login screen is the Mobile Trader probably. That's what I get. For what it's worth, Webtrader requires IE6.0 according to IB. I assume you don't have that. OldTrader

Actually the products don't trade in lockstep with crude. They have their own supply/demand considerations. The fluctuations of the products relative to the crude will determine refining margins. I notice you didn't mention natural gas for instance, which had been trending lower for some...

One did "take off".....against you better than 10%. Maybe something else balances it out, but you did call this the "Crude Oil Journal", and so far you've got a substantial move against you. Nothing else was posted in terms of a real time type of trade that offsets this. OldTrader

Looks like you're down about $8 a barrel, with October getting close to last trade day. What's your next move? OldTrader

Kiwi: Had to look up "irascible". Turns out it doesn't mean what I thought it did. LOL. Also looked up "wanker". Irasible has got to be better than wanker. LOL. Anyway, they had a picture of wanker that I thought you might enjoy...

You definitely would have called yourself a wanker, had you been a third party. LOL. You demanded that IB "materialize" version 876, even though certain problems were pointed out to you by respected third parties, and despite the probability that IB removed this version because of said...

What is the account minimum? Can't locate it on the website. Thanks OldTrader

Interesting. I'm unable to access WebTrader via BlackBerry. When I access InteractiveBrokers.com I automatically get the Mobile Trader. How exactly are you accessing WebTrader via your IPhone? OldTrader

What works great....Webtrader or MobileTrader? OldTrader

OK, I'm not reallly familiar with Webtrader. But IB offers MobileTrader which can be accessed by cell phone. I currently own a BlackBerry 8830 operated via Verizon. I can access IB's Mobile Trader, which allows me to enter orders, get quotes, review portfolio, etc. Here's a link...
