We know who def works for. Who do you work for?

"Shocking!" Man, you seem so unbiased in this thread! What is your motivation here? Did IB ban your account and now your pissed and need some revenge? Do you work for an alternative brokerage?

Actually, you can give your time to people, which can be more precious than money. I used to think that my trading was not contributing to society, but I realized that it sure has contributed to me, my immediate family, and others I have chosen to help. It has also given me the time to pursue...

Do you have an axe to grind? Do you actually trade with IB? Do you have specific complaints about their fills? I've been trading with them for over a decade and they are by far the best execution platform I've seen for individual trading.

Seems like you are trying to connect dots that may not exist. There is nothing in that article that supports the notion that he was trading for others. It is possible, but they don't actually come out and say that anywhere. It is possible that Sarao was just trying to park money.

Your conclusion is not substantiated by that article. Read it again.

To understand how to blow up twice?

Did you see that one time, no wait two times, where VN went bust?

Don't you think it is ironic that you defend VN (even though he blew up twice), and you belittle Zanger's accomplishments (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Zanger) without hesitation. Then you get upset when people fairly criticize VN. Maybe you should take a look in the mirror and be honest...

Please tell me where I can be paid to use electricity so that I can move there.

Easiest way to figure out if there is an issue with your backtesting is to start trading it for real with small amounts of money and see if the numbers line up. If they don't, you'll know in a hurry.

One thing you may consider is that stuff like this is inherently difficult to communicate without doing it in person. If you have a second machine, try installing the latest and greatest TWS and see if you can replicate the behavior.

Have to put limits on your open orders, especially after this change.

Ok, I understand the "scroll method" now. I cannot reproduce your bug on two of my computers. Which TWS version are you running? (Help-->About Trader Workstation)

Okay I must not be trading the same products as you or am not using the same interface. But when I change my size and do not press enter and then press the Transmit button, the size does take and the change is recorded correctly. It is possible you have uncovered a bug in a particular section of...

I'm probably missing something here. Maybe you should make a small video clip of what is going on for clarification. However, when I type in an edit box, how is a program supposed to know if I'm done typing my input unless I unfocus or press enter?

You still haven't described the bug in detail. How do I reproduce it? Don't you double-check your order size before you submit?

Who says? Where is this rule? Any link to show this? Never heard this before in my life, but if it is true, it would be good to know about. Put limits on your opening orders?

I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.

It is interesting that you know the other person on the line is young and white without even seeing them. My experiences with "Robin" have also been 100% positive.
