The Custom Quotes (aka Custom Columns) in all my watchlist are stuck. They show "loading" instead of the calculated numbers. Does anyone have any information on this?

The error is: java.lang.NullPointerException

60 views and no replies. No problems with the latest update I guess. But this is EliteTrader, so probably 90% of the readers are trading Paper Money accounts anyway.

Anyone have any problems with today's software update? I keep getting a "System Error" window.

Before the market opens, I submit this bracket order: ---> Buy stop at yesterday's close, attached sell stop at "Parent Order -2%" The problem is: the sell stop is being calculated as "buy stop less 2%" instead of "fill price less 2%". This becomes a huge problem if the stock gaps up at...

NoDoji, Yes, very true. I suppose I should be more precise in asking the question: what percent of the trade setups get stopped out (assuming all trades are executed exactly according to instructions)?

Has anyone here subscribed to Dan Zanger's service? What I am trying to understand is this: He mails out several suggested trades every week. Roughly how many work? 10%? 30%? 50% Thanks in advance, Andy

BSAM, thank you. I will report back tomorrow. One more question: does the width of the stop limit affect the fill? In other words, if I have StopLimit #1 of stop=10 and limit=9.90, and StopLimit#2 of stop=10 and limit =9.50, will they both yield the same results or will #1 outperform #2?

oldtime,... Well, there certainly are traders who fit the description you mentioned :) DO you know the specific issue with the charts? Is it delay related (although I cannot see how that would cause this problem since I can SEE on the chart... the price go well below the stop).

BSAM, that is exactly what I was planning to try. Is it because stop limits have higher priority in the order queue than stop orders?

BSAM, I am using a straight stop order (not stop limit, not adjusted stop). It appears as a line on TWS ChartTrader and I move the line to where I want the stop placed. oldtime, I am trading liquid stocks on NYSE and NASD (typical daily volume > 1 million). Also important, I have set my...

I am using TWS ChartTrader, and price is passing right through my stop loss and nothing is happening for several seconds (sometimes 30 seconds or so)! Eventually, the stop order executes (at a terrible price). I spoke to a tech and he said to take a screenshot next time this happens. I...

The bar seems to be stuck while the price moves around. I am using the latest version: Build 919.2j Java 1.6.0_26 Anyone know about this? These things happen of course, but this one just cost me $700 :-(

Anyone know the changes to 918.8 that 918.9 brings?

What is the difference between Trade-Ideas and StealthAlerts?

Currently, to bring a list of tickers into IB, I have to copy the tickers onto a spreadsheet with the formatting required by IB, then Import the spreadsheet into IB Quote Monitor. Does anyone know of a utility that will allow me to directly paste (ctrl-v or with a mouse click) a list of...

I have a grid with 4 charts (multi-chart) of the same security. Each chart has two indicators. I have it linked (red cube at top right of the chart window) with the Quote Monitor window. I click on a symbol in the Quote Monitor and it populates the chart grid. Work great for the first 7 or 8...
