Possibly their whole Asia gateway crashed and the system didn't reduce the positions automatically around 4pmEST to meet the day to night margin transition, as the system would normally do.

Did you go to any arbitration at some agency like CFTC?

Please forgive me not to mention my broker's name because in general they offer me good services. It's just this freaky incidence caused me devastating loss and I hope they would take some responsibility and give me proper compensation.

I called on the phone and no one picked the phone by closing time.

Because broker's server was down for several hours, you couldn't close you position. should the broker compensate the loss because of this?

at first. tws won't acknowledge order. after I logged off, can't log back in

anyone has same problem?

What about 3 NQ for 2 ES?

The reason to use one-click button is because it's easier than putting order in on BookTrader. If you have to reconfigure the button everytime you need to click it, then it would have more trouble than putting order in on BookTrader. What's the meaning of this supposed "one-click" button? On...

......If you are long one contract and you reverse, then TWS will sell 2 contracts and your short 1. If your short 1, it will NOT buy 2 contracts and your WILL NOT long 1,until you go into configuration and redefined the Reverse Button......

You may not understand my message completely. It can only reverse one-side of position by configuration, not both sides automatically.

My current broker reduces my position between 4:11~4:13pm EST for ES contract. Can your firm do it a little later too?

So at 4pm EST for ES contract?

That's what I always understood.

Futures Broker.com calculates the number of contracts, which can carry over to night session, sometime based on Overnight Initial margin, sometime based on Overnight Maintenance margin. That makes it difficult for trader to control.. When I asked them to stick with Overnight Maintenance...

(1) For E mini S&P , does IB calculate the number of contracts, which can carry over to night session, based on Overnight Initial or Overnight Maintenance magin? (2) What time near close will IB reduce the number of contracts to the amount, which can carry over to night session?

Finally downloaded the API and installed it. thanks Bob!

Thanks Bob. I downloaded the TWS from the website you gave to me and installed succesfully. But it asked me to download updated API (ddedll.***) in order to run Excel DDE aplication. I am still not able to get on IB website. Do you have this API on the website you gave to me earlier? Thanks...

I tried to download TWS. The download site is not accessible now. Can anyone else download? I am in China now.
