I spent some $ on the bed in recent years, all very good btw. 1)King's Down mattress 2) Magnetic mattress pad between the box spring and mattress, make sure it is north facing up 3) Visco Elastic foam pad on top of the mattress, cover it with a thick pad because it is a heat sink. I quit...

This doom and gloom stuff goes on decade in and decade out. It might happen eventually but so what? If you are a trader and you are on the right side of the market, you win big. I had relatives that started building a portfolio of real estate in 1932, they were extremely wealthy when it was all...

California is building a 550 megawatt solar generater in the southern desert and building wind farms in the north. The solar project is all on 4500 acres, we could buld hundreds of those in the Mojave desert. We will be 20% independent from oil in 11 years with just the one solar plant and other...

Uhhh, no, the current leader of Iran has been speaking of a messiah from the world of Islam. I was talking about his rationality, it seems he might be a tad short in that department. Try to follow along. If this were a spoken forum I would be talking real slow at this point, I am not using big...

I saw a few jump in price when they delisted from the NASDAQ and went on the OTCBB!! What is that about?

Consumer Reports rates health insurance companies BTW. I recall reading up on what they had to say a while back, there were just a handful of companies that had highly rated service. I have insurance currently through my 9 to 5 and I have friends that have no insurance and negotiate with the...

After seeing the US military roll over Afghanistan and Iraq I find it hard to believe that anybody rational in Iran will do anything along military lines against the possible combo of Israel and USA. Remember, Israel's military capability has been rated nearly equal with the USA's by Jaines in...

I know one perma-bear, he takes anti depressants!!

Ok, it's a data downloader from Yahoo and there is not a lot of explanation on the website unless hype passes for explanation. It would be good if it imported historical quotes directly into Global Server. It may be that you have to download them as ASCII and import them to the Global Server or...

I ruined my amateur radio hobby by over design, every time I had an idea I "improved on it" and it never was as much fun as it would have been to "just do it". With the trading stuff I want to "just do it" to the extent possible. I have become so fluent in EZ Language that it is very easy to go...

nononsense on ignore list =happiness. I've been happy for months in that regard.

search the archives at purebytes.com. I just set one up with DTNIQ and free software from Hypertrader. it was a bit of a headache recently because things changed at the first of the year with the Hypertrader stuff and reinstalls had to be done but it all worked. A few years ago I used Esignal...

I think it is easier to design a trading system that does not do much computation nor needs super computing power and run it with off the shelf software and a computer from Best Buy than it is to design and implement a superior trading environment.

I can specify smart as the routing with Dynaorder. I never saw a mention in all the docs about TWS settings affecting things done through the API. I would guess that your API is unbundled from your TWS settings. You can test anything with a demo account BTW, the demo account is supposed to have...

I'd click on the picture but I might catch something.

Yes, I forgot about wireless DSL. If that is available it might be a very good way to go. I was looking into that about the time DSL became available in my area. It is high speed and reliable. You need line of sight to the transmitter and the providers will work with you on your antenna...

DTN satellite might be the way to go for data. They just transmit the whole market to you. With that they give you a reduced price on DTNIQ internet feed for history. You still need internet for connection to the brokerage. I recall reading that the satellite does not send every tick, only when...

Apparently you will have to do the weighting yourself and prepare the basket order accordingly. You could do that in Excel and transmit it via the API pretty easily. IB has demo VBA code with the API download.

I wonder if that password could be applied to more than one computer?

Life gets so very much better when you run XP
