I wouldn't generalize here. f2c (fortran 77 to C) compiler works without a hitch on large computational libraries, algorithms in which are by no means trivial. Where VB to VB.NET compiler fails is not the laguage is the narrow sense but "library" objects. How forms, database objects, library...

Referendum in Scotland originally planned for 2011 has been given up on by now. Not happening.

German banks are irrelevant. Most of German economy is based on exports... and Germany is the country that has benefited the most from the single currency by expanding its export base. I'm sure German voters are getting pissed of when they have to prop up people in Greece or Ireland who keep...

You do use a calendar of important data releases, don't you? At least 90% of violent moves happen around these times...

Way to go. A big ship costs a small fortune to maintain and for someone may make an awesome museum. UK hasw a long history of selling old battleships for scrap: http://www.worldwar1.co.uk/battlecruiser/hms-invincible.html

There is no oxigen under the earth surface. So, there aren't gonna be any explosion till someone carelessly drills into such an oil reserve. Some of the gases that come out of volcanos can be flamable. So, large eruptions are a good indication of the worst-case scenario...

Hong Kong. The OP has posted a different thread on this issue earlier: IB Stop loss not working in Hong Kong Stock Market

Maybe, you want to post fxing this issue as an improvement request on IB polls (suggestions) page. Then clients can vote for it and the number of people will add weight to the severity of the problem...

I wouldn't use the exact terms "legally questionable"... but there are market rules that allow for cancelling "clearly erroneous" trades. The rules are not specific in the way that 3% away from the market is intentional and 30% away is "erroneous". Following these rules, for example, lots of...

Does clicking twice on the TWS icon on the taskbar (as an alternative way to minimize/restore window) solve the problem? IMHO, it's a problem with remote desktop, not TWS.

First, I believe IDEAL is gone for good. Even the smallest transactions are cleared in IDEALPRO now. The downside is some small positions can be never cleareed. For example, if the account is in USD and you have remeinder in yen you will have to buy USD/JPY ansted of selling JPY/USD and are...

thanksgiving is 2 days of holidays. the few people who traded today just shut their computers down and went home.

Is there a plan to also write an article on trade management such as ways to take profit without a defined target, scaling in and scaling out etc?

Interesting. Thanks! A sparsely covered topic indeed... Is there gonna be Part 3 and maybe 4?

Futures have the cleanest volume data as you suggested. The problem is futures are actively traded in USD pairs (and not crosses) and cover only 3%-5% of the market for the corresponding pair. If there is significant buying/selling, the volume will almost necessarily propagate into futures. Note...

OK, suppose a bank has 20 ounces of their own gold (shareholders' equity). Now a client comes and wants to deposit 80 ounces of gold for safekeeping. Now the bank has 100 ounces. However, the client states that they want to collect their 80 ounces in a month. A bank lends 100 ounces to a...

The more interesting part is there is a well-documented link between Osama and G.W.Bush (43rd american president): they had common business interests. However, the link between Osama and alledged hijackers is very much dubious.

I expect most posters do trade. The definition of "successfully" varies.

You totally miss the point of how "fractional reserve" system works.... Maybe you didn't read the final part of my last post. (I accept it was a bit long.) Anyway, "fractional reserve" refers only to "current", "on demand" or "transaction" deposits, which means the owner of the deposit can...

Do they still offer a hadgun as a promotion with groceries?
