Thank you for the insightful feedback, gents. Clearly, I have some practical things to learn. I don't normally trade around time of the open, I happened to enter this one early - what a mistake that was. Trade at liquid times when spread is narrowest.. duly noted. Mistake #1. I almost always...

I am certain my ignorance will be fully displayed here, so bear with me.. MU $39.33 I wanted to trade in this manner: Sell Oct-6 39.50 put @ 0.99 Buy Oct-6 38.50 put @ 0.55 With my broker (IB) this is entered as a "Buy Combo" order, and the difference between the two values becomes your Limit...

I'm not going to discuss exact numbers, but i can present you with some good places to get a view of the fundamental information that forms my outlook: http://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/Reports_By_Date/2013/December_2013.asp http://www.usda.gov/oce/commodity/wasde/...

Bearish, short term anyway. Based off chart pattern and news/sentiment to the downside. I rode the bullish pattern up a few weeks ago, which was very profitable. Now I'm short.

Hey, thanks for the info guys! Yes, I'm still using the live CD of Ubuntu 10.04. It's bundled with BackTrack5r3, which I'm *attempting* to use to monitor for attempted wireless intrusions at a public place. (It's a non-trading related story, but anyway..) I guess BackTrack is now obsolete...

Since there are some Linux gurus present.. I've struggled for some time now to get a DLink wireless adapter driver to install correctly and function w/Ubuntu. Details here: (posted under same username "codeine") http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=94495&start=40 Any...

When *attempting* to trade the corn and soybean weather markets, I use these websites, among others: http://water.weather.gov/precip/ http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/full_loop.php See attached images. Just thought I'd share the links. Currently observing whether beans will get...

I know this is an outdated thread.. but I couldn't seem to find a satisfying answer elsewhere. Any resolution to this issue? Specifically, whether IB is showing correct aggregate level 1 bid/ask quote sizes on SMART? The quote from their website...

I'm not sure if this is exactly relevant to the OPs question, but I think it's possible to use eSignal's data with IB TWS, if that is what you're looking for. See attached screenshot of TWS Global Configuration screen: Also, it would seem to confirm that 10 updates/second for market data...

In harmony with kanellop's agriculture/weather postings (which I have found to be very informative - keep it up!), the USDA NASS provides these maps of planted acreage, harvested acreage, yield per acre, and production acreage by county...

Terry Roggensack commenting on corn conditions: http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/why-corn-prices-matter-bottom-line-125612426.html Mentions specifically "corn rolling up it's leaves."

I live in the northern portion of Midwest U.S. and can confirm that corn crops are not doing well. In most areas, the height is average, or slightly below average, but due to the drought, the leaves are curled up. Normally, a healthy looking crop has the leaves splayed out normally - there is...

Central Waters - Bourbon Barrel Stout http://www.centralwaters.com/beer/img/BourbonBarrelStout.gif I'm not saying it's the 'best beer ever,' it's just one I happen to enjoy occasionally.

Different chart

Are we seeing some resistance at 1430, or is this just sideways movement before climbing further up?

Recently switched to Visual Studio 2010 Express - Command Prompt. The compiler seems to be better and more descriptive in error handling (compared to Borland C++ 5.5 command line compiler). I've also been using Notepad++, which is a handy text editor.

The greater than/less than signs must have confused the forum software. So, attached picture shows correct IBString.h header.

Sorry for the long delay in updating this thread. I have been occupied with other activities for a while. However, I have also spent some time continuing to learn about the IB C++ API and C++ compiling. After much search effort and experimentation, I have learned a few things. 1) From what I...
