Thank you!

Hi IB, I am a friend and family advisor, I can trade stock, but not futures on one of my client account. On client's "trading permission" page, it says something like "advisor must open F1234567cc account. What is this "cc" account? How do I go about it? I searched some help files on IB, but...

upgraded my java to latest. downgraded to the "stable" version TWS 9369 . Now it is working fine. thank you all for the help. I apologize for the venting.

Java 6, update 17. thank you. I will try.

Couple of days, they forced me to install this new TWS build 944.3 Apr1. It is killing me. It is mother f*ckingly slow. Every mouse movement takes 2-3 seconds to respond. For example, if you try right click a symbol to bring up a menu, it takes from 1 to 3 seconds to show up. The most...

The system forced me to use new build 944.3, and it is really slow. If I move my mouse to some place, right click or left click, the menu item will take 2-3 seconds to appear. It literally becomes unusable overnight!

RockMachine: is your strategy fully automated?

Just to share what I found out. me asking: Can your platform auto-trade a strategy on a scan result of 1000 stocks? TS reply: This is not currently possible through any conventional means within TradeStation. Please visit the TradeStation and EasyLanguage Support forms for clues on...

Hi, I am looking for a platform to auto-trade stocks intraday. I bought NinjaTrader, but it can only do it one by one, alright for the futures. But I can not scan the pattern for 1000 stocks every 30 minutes and auto-trade the ones that matches my pattern. I read and watched 3 hours about...

Thanks! That's what I am looking for.

Thanks. To Caveman: by API, I mean 3rd party software that provides automated trading better than IB TWS.

I appreciate your work very much. Seems to be working, and with some decent capability. Wonder why this did not get more attention.

Hi, I have a simple strategy that I want to automate to trade on IB. There are a few systems that cost couple thousands dollars, but my need is much simpler, no need for chart or backtesting. Just process some incoming data at low frequency, a few minutes, and put in the order. I checked...

Why pork belly future's open interest so low ? I use Bloomberg data. For example, PB future expiring Aug 2010, has only 30 open interest. In and before 2008, the front month OI is in 1000s, even 2009 has a few 100s open interest at its peak. Now only 30 ? ! Any one knows why ? thank you !

Hi, I have been doing very well on my trading in 2008 and this year so far, and I'd like to have a CPA produce an audited statement of sort. Anyone can recommend a CPA who practise this line of work ? I live in Bergen county, New Jersey. Thank you all.

It lists a few IRA types, but no education IRA specifically. I am trying to move itt out of Schwab, the commission is super expensive there ! Thank you.

Today is a clear breakout of down trend for NASDAQ and then a pullback to fill the gap, like two sessions wrapped in one day. Based on this bullish thesis, I loaded up and wait to see what tomorrow brings. Of course the breakout could be fake, with 1 out of 3 chance, then I will write down a...

The market is having some large and random movement every day. I am afraid both bull and bear will be disappointed. I think the market in coming weeks will be small volume small percentage drifting lower slowly. Sellers have sold, buyers are too scared and there is likely nothing new in the...

The hedged positions worked out as planned. 700 CSCO long was stopped out at .50, a -$200 loss. The 1400 AQNT short went down 70 cents for a while, but I was in the meeting, when I was back to the computer, I dutifully covered 800 at 9.50, leaving the right size of 600 to run. But after...

Think, think, think. On the way back home, I had an idea. I will hedge it with something, why not CSCO ? Cool, I bought 700 CSCO at 21.76 afterhours, 50 cents off the closing. Immediatly my account is $350 more. Speaking of instant satisfaction !:D Just checked CSCO beta is 2.2, AQNT is 1.6...
