I just came back to the screen and QCharts is running fine now. I'm on cc-15a.mia. I guess it was an overnight blip. Thanks for the responses.

Speaking of QCharts...is anyone having issues with it this AM. My ES and MR data stopped as of 2050 last evening. Tried restarting the software...running version 5.1. I'm getting green lights and the connection is fine, but have no new data since last night. Anyone else experiencing this?

I too would like a piece of the action if IB opens the gates on this puppy.

Just like we don't have many Drexel threads any more...in a few weeks it will mostly be finished.

Pretty amateur effort as far as studies go. The SEC wouldn't give this a second look, at least not based on this "study".

IB accepts spread orders (entered electronically via their TWS) for some products and tasks its computer with watching the legs. When your spread can be executed, it fires off both sides and gives you both positions. Assuming you are dealing in futures or futures options, the margin required...

There are lots of regulatory questions on the test. You need to know the sorts of interactions that are permitted/not permitted between people in different roles in different states and entities...lots of paragraph questions about those. There are also a good number of math questions...

Spam. Please remove.

No offense taken... As Apex mentioned, feel free to expand on the matter.

...and most of them are pointless and he admits a few pages in that he was "just bored and wanted to chat about something." I don't know about you guys, but I'd like some insight or value if I'm going to spend time reading this....not to mention the wisdom of labeling a 2.5% move in 2 days as...

I would say you need savings. It would seem difficult to sell your ability to succeed to someone to the extent that you could get enough funds to be worthwhile - or you could wind up giving away a percentage of your business that may come back to haunt you later. Some other points. It is...

Lock up the children, hide the wife. Surfer is back, run for your life.

I have been saying the same thing on these boards for years. My only guess is that futures accounts are/were harder to establish than equity accounts. Aside from that, the advantages are indeed overwhelming. Whatever. I'll keep trading them, saving taxes and making plenty in doing so. A...

Liquidity has picked up. It is common for lots of 100 and 200 or more to go off throughout the day and you now also see more than 1000 on each side at times. Dime ticks would be the next logical step.

Both your Dec ER2 futures contracts and the Oct Calls will trade until 4:15 Friday the 21st, then both will disappear that weekend.

You "have" them? Have what? Sold calls? You say they are "covered by the underlying long future" which implies a short call. If this is the case at a 1:1 ratio, both will disappear over the expiration weekend.

We got Saddam on a Saturday night and the futures ran up, opened high Monday then sold off all day to finish down. I think traders look past the positive catalyst pretty early in the day to the next thing, and I don't see much positive to look forward to in the markets right now. But I'm...

Thanks.

Short it asap. We will probably be down today.

This is about how I figured it would end. User error. The IB guys are going to have to stop responding to these silly incidents and stick to the bigger legitimate issues. While it is unfortunate, there are too many people here who will never be pleased regardless of the situation. They...
