I sense they are, but things often get funky with the VIX, as I believe the options are covered by a different legal entity than the underlying futures.

$400 a month, half in advance, and I'll place the trades in your account. (I am a former Sydney-sider, and I know the sleep-deprivation required to trade the US markets there regularly.) If interested let me know. I assume you use IB in Oz. I'll also have to run this by my attorney, as I am not...

I want to put, say, a 24 inch monitor, preferably a two in one, on a wall in my office. That's idea number 1. Next I want to find a site, service or broker, that would allow me a LIVE ES quote in LARGE numbers, like a digital clock. So, any ideas? I don't want to break the bank, but I do realize...

What's the story on these guys. Do I have to buy in, their tech, trade their way?

Is any site where I can find the average daily trading range, over various time periods, for ES futures between, say, 9:20 AM and 9:40 AM?

IB says futures are .85 a contract, but when I got to sell a VIX contract it says my commission is $1.50? Are VIX futures unique in that regard? Or are fees included?

Not a techie, but I've watched the IB videos in setting up Excel with TWS and I got through the first couple streps. Now, in video 2, I cant figure out what to put in IBApi::EClientSocket::eConnect in settings under API and Global Configuration. Anyone have time to walk me through it? (My...

Thanks guys for the info. Saved me some dough.

Ok, I need two computers (for two IB TWS accounts) and two monitors, preferably 24 inch, preferably all-in-ones. But I want to run them off with one keyboard and mouse. Really don't want to spend more than $1500. Thoughts?

Yup would need to log in to two different accounts.

Yeah, I thought about this, believe it or not. But then I was wondering about their family and friends functioning if it was worth any hassle it might be to set it up.

I have a small IRA and my regular brokerage account. I'd like to make the same trades in both but four times as many contracts in my traditional account as in the IRA. What is the best way to set this up on the IB platform? iBot hasn't been helpful and I'd rather not wait a week for a message...

A couple of Greeks questions here. I'm using IB, and I have theta columns in TWS as theta and position theta. What is the difference between the numbers in these two columns in IB and what do they represent? Dollars? Next: Is there any way of going back to the trade opening, earlier in the day...

I'm using IB I am afraid, writing iron condors 0dte, and wanting to looking at average movement hour by hour over a long period of time, at least a year.

Is there any relatively easy way to find out what the average trading range is for ES futures for each of the last five hours of trading each day?

I think the Xewion product is supposed to obviate using the IB API, which I hear mixed things about, no?

Anyone use it? Worth it?

Not sure, I follow.

Trying to restate my p/l for last year, and I'm wondering if I should use for the futures portion of my overall balance, either 1) the beginning and ending Total Equity or 2) the Account Value. Yes, the numbers are different, by a few grand. Using frigging Schwab, if it matters. Thanks in advance.

I keep reading that CTAs are trend followers. Period. And probably 90 percent or more are. But aren't there some CTA that just employ an option writing strategy? What about other non trend following strategies?
