No it's fiber, there's no latency issue. I guess I'll have to do a video of 2 DOM's side by side - why is IB lagging when the other platforms are fine? And just to repeat I'm only looking at CME futures, this may not happen in the equity space.

Thanks for clarifying - for the IB OG's, we used to curse about the lack of tick by tick data, and the 250ms aggregated "snapshots" were sold as a way to ensure stability and reduce lag around data events. Now I'm getting anywhere from 10-30 seconds of lag around events which is a nightmare for...

This has been going on for a few months, futures quotes (CME/CBOT/NYMEX) are getting backed up anywhere from 10-30 seconds on my booktraders on any significant news release. It's like trading blind - you see a price and it's already 10 ticks away. It was very apparent on CPI today. Anyone know...

They just fixed it n/m

Since about 6pm tonight (Thursday) On any product - stocks, futures etc Anyone else

Just to clarify there is no 1256 treatment in NY, you just enter capital gains from your federal (which is then taxed as ordinary income) The real question is if I amend a 2015 federal return which has $100k capital gain and reduce it to zero as a result of a 2018 tax year loss, do I then go...

Anyone encounter a 1256 loss carryback in NY? 1) Is there any recourse to get state taxes back? NY has a NOL carryback but no mention of 1256 2) If it can't be done, say you eliminate a -100k schedule D loss on your federal, do you get to apply that against state taxes in future years now that...

Bump, is ICE UK available yet? And are there any inactivity fees for the transactional XTRADER_PRO offering?

Bump, anyone at IB able to replicate this? This happens on two different machines with both standalone and browser 925/926. If you have multiple live orders, and exit/restart TWS the pending page will only show one of them.

Kostia - There is a bug in 925/926 when you have multiple orders on RB.CL and leave TWS, when you restart TWS most of the open orders are missing on the pending page (usually only one is shown). Occasionally (randomly) they will reappear as the inverse spread, i.e. when the spread line was...

Just to clarify, my TWS begins resetting data servers (data begins flashing on and off) at midnight eastern. This isn't a big deal as you can still trade. I'm specifically referring to the time during which TWS turns "pink" and locks you out from placing/modifying orders. This kicks in around...

My midnight reset (pink TWS) has been taking a full 10 minutes lately (with the exception of Sunday evenings), running standalone 901.8 Disconnects around 00:20:00 Eastern, reconnected today at 00:30:28. Is a full 10 minute lockout normal? Used to be around 2-3 minutes for me prior to the...

TAS is the equivalent to a guaranteed MOC order. NYMEX TAS contracts can trade even or 10 tics on either side of set, so if you fill by 2:30pm you're guaranteed settlement +/- 10 tics. Theoretically, a huge buyer can come in and lock limit it at +10 bid or vice versa but that will never...

Bump, anyone figure this out yet?

TWS 900 and up lets you get a delayed streaming feed on unsubscribed tickers. Has anyone figured out how to pull historical data with the delayed data (charts within TWS just say the ticker is unsubscribed), or at a minimum pull it into the API and chart it while you're logged in?

This is more bullshit fear mongering and sensationalism. How many times do we have to dredge up this stupid Optiver story about a $1mm take in a market that trades billions? For those who don't have have a clue, Optiver is accused of gaming market on close orders (they're called TAS by NYMEX)...

In case anyone missed it: HONG KONG FUTURES EXCHANGE OCTOBER 1, 2009 PRICE CHANGE Beginning October 1, 2009, IB will charge a fee of 75 HKD per month for the professional and non-professiona l Hong Kong Futures Exchange market data in order to comply with exchange pricing. To ensure...

I meant as in the reduced fractions are annoying to look at, the conventional quoting should be: 121'01 121'02 121'03 etc...

ZB is being quoted in reduced fractions since the full tick change on Sunday Thanks

Why isn't the long end reacting to Friday's deficit story? We're trading over Friday's futures close; I thought this would be a big mover. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aaNkaSFbrjmA Was released around 6pm Eastern on Friday IIRC, is it possible is was out earlier?
