def, maybe I should pose my questions to you - I really need to get a chart going: I already signed up for trading permissions and data access 11/21, and I got a status of Approved (I'm Canadian). Now the next question is how do I chart the KOSPI? I am using Ensign-IB. If I am already...

I already signed up for trading permissions and data access yesterday, and I got a status of Approved. Now the next question is how do I chart the KOSPI? I am using Ensign-IB. If I am already approved for data access, shouldn't I be able to chart it in Ensign? What is the correct symbol, say...

I just published my first blog on trading the bond futures market. Check it out at http://bondtrader.blogspot.com/

Has trading in US Interest Rate futures (ZB, ZN, ZF) switched to the front month contracts? When is their last day of trading? When do they officially switch to the front month contracts, so I don't have to ask again in the future. Thanks.

There has been no new quotes on ZB since around 10:10am PDT. Has the market halted, or is there an early close today, or IB's just gone dead on their ZB quotes???

I trade the electronic T-Bond futures, which moves quickly in the first 1.5 hours, so for those hours I use market to get in quickly, otherwise I will miss the opportunity. After that, I always use limit order (buy@bid, sell@ask) because my limit orders always gets filled when the market is not...

Yes I don't trade when the announcement is just about to come out or right after it, but 14 minutes AFTER the announcement and still no quotes? C'mon! That is still unacceptable.:mad:

Still no quotes, and it's now 11:24am PST, 9minutes after FED announcement. WHAT IS HAPPENING, IB???

What the heck happened with IB when the FED announced? There were no quotes whatsoever for ZB for a period of 5minutes!! My charting program was moving so there were trades going through, but there were none on TWS. IB, this is unacceptable!!! What is going on???

What do you mean?? I've got an AMD64 laptop which is much much cheaper than an Intel HT. It never crashes, never hangs, very stable, AND very cheap. It's awesome! Even when using Windows 32-bit OS on it, it still rocks! Can't wait until they come out with the 64-bit OS.

The regular trading hours for electronic is the same as for pit - 7:20am-2:pm CST. Outside of those, the volume gets thin.

So when's the next meeting? Just got back from working on a short-term contract in the US, and now I'm back... Let me know where and when.

Thanks 007Arb. That's just what I wanted to find out. It just seems too good to be true, and so it is.

Why? Are you doing really well in your bond trading? Or have you tried his methods?

Has anybody ever heard of this guy or tried his methods? Is he really good as his clients say he is? Thanks, wavetrader

Anybody selling a used copy of the Peak Performance Course for Traders by Van Tharp? I'd also appreciate any feedback from anyone who's taken the course. Thanks.

Can you give a little more detail about your Linux system (ie., which flavor/version, desktop, software, plug-ins, even hardware, do you have it on a different computer or just a different partition)? Can you also show screenshots? I am looking into setting up my trading platform on a...

I've got one of the new widescreen laptops (1280X800) with ATI 9600 video card. When I hooked up my 19" monitor (1280X1024) to it, the resolution on my monitor seemed a bit large and out-of-whack.. How do I fix this?

May I ask why??
