These problems are irritating, but IB is looking into it. I think most here appreciate that IB monitors ET and tries to help. Not making excuses for them and it is a hassle for me too, but show me ANY trading platform with NO problems all year? There may be a very few, but I'd wager...

"Watch TV and Get Rich?" What he means is, start a hedge fund. Hire good traders like his wife and Toddo. Get scared at every market bottom, and euphoric at every market top. Let his wife save his fund. Be a little outrageous so you can get on TV and feed rumors to Faber and Maria...

I love IB, but the forced TWS upgrades bug me. I have Build 865.2 now and like others have seen, problems are showing up. Some have complained about quotes on Futures freezing up. It seemed fine for a few days, but now... What just happened to me, was the futures and API orders were...

No, it's Baht! :D Sorry. Couldn't resist. Good trading to you. :)

Thud! High on the list of why I don't sell puts on biotechs. Lots o' selling before the CC. Somebody knew something? Nahhh, just a good guess... :p <img src="http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/w?s=NFLD"/>

What if a 'Surfer fell in the woods... And no one heard it? Just messin' with ya Surfey! Where's Prof and the Boyz to slam your trades? Vacation? Good luck. :cool:

I've heard this before. From some very UNSUCCESSFUL people! Why were they such failures? Figure it out... Good trading to all. :cool:

From day one. But note that I took very small positions during the initial trials. BUT, I took MANY hits because of code and logic screwups. It took a while (6 months?), but the market managed to find all my f-ups! And why is it, that I never got lucky and MADE money from a messup? :(...

1) The API passes status messages. Just use them in your trade decision code: System Message Codes Code Description 1100 Connectivity between IB and TWS has been lost. 1101 Connectivity between IB and TWS has been lost - data lost. 1102 Connectivity between IB and TWS...

Oh YEAAHHHHH!!!! $$$$$ Buy 'em when they are Rank. And take Santa to the BANK!!!

Uhm, well...no shit. It's in his latest books and. It's freakin' 10 YEARS OLD! (I was just trying to make a "joke". I failed, as usual...) But thanks for the complement! :D Good trading to all!!!! :cool:

Hope you little boyz and girlz are buying de dips! Buy de dips. Buy de dips. Buy de dips. ... Long de big Naztynass. And have a Merry Christmas!!! :cool:

"Good" traders are a dime a dozen. But what's "good" and what's lucky? It may be hard to tell the diff. One way is longevity over many different market conditions. And I'd say any trader that made spectacular returns, could easily make even more spectacular losses. It's all about...

Uh oh. Get ready for a big yard sale at Vic Niederhoffer's! :p Famed speculator Victor Niederhoffer played the same games everyone else did -- but he always played bigger. As a student of trading, he worked under George Soros; he regularly challenges grandmasters in chess and...

Calm down. Traders shouldn't care if the market moves up, or down. Just as long as it moves. Thai .SETI down 15%? Sounds good to me! Nikkei down 1%? Super! Let's rock!!! Oh, here is my guru that makes my trading decisions. It made 40% this year, with extremely low leverage...

I wasn't around but my autotrader logged a few "...lost connection with market data..." type errors today. This usually happens when my crappy satellite ISP goes out, but I suspect this was IB, since others had the same thing. But do note that the connection was successfully restored every...

Just a rant, but I get depressed when I think of S FL. I was born there, 50 years ago. Lived there until 25 years ago. FWIW my first real job was about 3 blocks from where Dunn Capital is now. It was way before Dunn and all the millions and millions of other sunshine seekers were there...
