Hi all, I was just wondering whether anyone is using or have had success running HFT strategies (not UHFT, or sub-second) using the Interactive Brokers datafeed? If not, which ones would you recommend from a cost/benefit point of view?

Ok, found the problem now: I was using the live IB account on the remote server and the corresponding paper trading account on the local machine - apparently both these have to reside on the same server (i.e. same IP address) otherwise either of them won't work. Annoying, but that's how it is...

I initiate the request via the command Tws1->reqMktDataEx(0, ContractInfo, SysAllocString(L""), 0); Then retrieving incoming data via regular OntickPrice event handler.

Normally I'm connected to IB Gateway on my remote trading server, while I do development on my local machine. All calls on the remote server works without a glitch. However, even after disconnecting from IB Gateway on the server, I'm still unable to retrieve market data on my local machine -...

Dumping the output from IB Gateway as well, anything out of the normal? SQ 12:09:08:773 JTS-ilhmdsDispatcher-138: QueryError QueryError Trading TWS session is connected from a different IP address, SQ 12:09:08:773 JTS-ilhmdsDispatcher-138: 0:62:71:1:0:4:2:DET Sending error. SQ...

Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a C++ application for use with IB TWS API in C++ Builder IDE. I've imported the TWS ActiveX component and added to a form. Connecting via IB Gateway works flawlessly and I can receive account info. However, when using reqMktDataEx, nothing seems to...

Ok, thanks for the note!

Ok thanks! Sorry for being curious, but why register if you only trade proprietarily? If returns are ok you don't need to sell, or...?

By the way, what are the on-going compliance issues and associated costs that need to be taken into consideration after NFA registration?

Ok thanks for the info. Is assistance from a third-party necessary or is the process simple enough to do yourself in your opinion?

Thanks for the info. Do you need to register with both CFTC _and_ NFA, or will either do? If both, which one to register with first?

Hi all, I'm currently running an SEC-registered RIA firm based out of Delaware. Without going into too many details, my firm is exempted from CFTC/NFA registration as I don't have US clients. However, I'm thinking about pursuing this anyhow in order to tap into the US market, and as a...

Keep in mind that about 30% in many securities today is hidden, before you start trade on it...

Agree either other writer, automate your trading...completely!
