    IBKR Lite Lags...

    I wanted to update this in case anyone else was having the problem. I opened a support ticket and here is some advice: My memory allocation was low, around 700. Changing it to 2048 did not fix the lag. Changing from "latest" build to "stable" build DID fix the lag problem. Everything back...

    IBKR Lite Lags...

    Thanks, I have no problem going back to paid plans. Just working on getting back into the groove after more than a year away... Trying to discern if this is a IBRKRLITE problem, or a IB problem, or something choking on my end of the equation. Maxinger how bad are the lags that you are seeing...

    IBKR Lite Lags...

    Folks just starting to get back after a long illness. I had them change my IB account over to Lite during recovery. I started playing with it today and the lags during trading hours are krazy. 4 or 5 seconds to manipulate any feature on the charts. Since I've been away so long is this the...

    Lingering Issues

    Thanks for sharing the screen resolution of users. With that data, I would make the same decision that you did. My desktop is 2560 x 1080 so that fits with most folks reading ET while at the desk, or a large laptop.

    Lingering Issues

    Came back after a month away... so a fresh look at things. The user names are in too big a font and too much wasted space on the left. The empty vertical white band and the extra wide band that holds the poster's name and statistics. Some of us still use compact 1024x768 resolution monitors...

    For Windows XP Users - April 8th, 2014 - End of Support

    Does anyone understand the specific implications of this Microsoft position? If further fixes/updates to XP are terminated after the suspense date, I am not concerned. If I have to rebuild one of my XP systems from the install disk, and can no longer get XP updated from the old CD level to...

    Now is this "Classic ET" a joke or is it a real option? One shouldn't have to contact baron member by member to enable it if it is real...

    Me either, because the pick next to "your account" is not on my screen at 8 AM 11/11/2013.

    Forgot to mention. Be sure to make a new favicon of the new logo for the site in the gray and blue.

    Well done! I like changes that are incremental and allow the choice to make it "like it was" Good moves Baron. Keep up the incrementalism!

    Best Coffee

    If you want it done right, do it yourself. Buy green beans from Sweet Maria's. http://www.sweetmarias.com/index.php Roast them myself, and with a buddy. He has a commercial roaster, mine is a home made volcano fluidized bed. Runs off a Kirby vacuum and a dryer heating element. Love...

    Son of If You Can Draw a Straight Line . . .

    I see 5 waves in this move (purple). It has taken the last 4 to go the distance that the first one did. The last wave up is the shortest and gained the least, and it has the flattest slope. I am still in, but alert. If the next swing high is lower, I would be out of the long.

    Son of If You Can Draw a Straight Line . . .

    The run appears to be loosing a bit of it's steam. It quickly returned to the 50% of the last move up; however we are still well above the 3204 ish 50% point of the last fanned DL. We would stay in long. Observe for "pauses" on the tape, indicating a deeper sentiment change... we will...

    Son of If You Can Draw a Straight Line . . .

    What I saw were 4 buying waves of increasing intensity, as the slope increased on each successive wave. The last two were definitely at an unsustainable angle upwards. We therefore are looking for consolidation, which has the characteristics of a coil to me in this formation. We...

    So Long Firefox, It's Been Real

    Yea, but every time they push a Chrome update, check boxes (radio buttons) in web sites disappear for a few weeks. ... or is it just me?

    "Government done shut down the #EBT cards"

    Great plan! I recently retired from my second... or is it third career. I started cooking again, and am enrolling in the chef's program at a local community college. What got me started was being outraged that my wife paid $4.50 for a 1 lb loaf of "good" multi grain bread that grows moldy...

    Truckers to arrest Constitution breakers and shut down the economy

    Us ol' guys were just talking about this at breakfast this morning... Why only the bikers and truckers are standing up for the foundational concepts of the country. We came to the conclusion that starting around 1980 every male in an office job has had his frontal lobe "plolitically...

    Obama overreach - Tries to close non-federal property

    Our little o'man has succeeded in radicalizing the park service! Just amazing to this ol' guy. Makes one wonder if there is another Janet N. running that agency. Do they have Forrest Service SWAT teams? How about up armored HumV's? Never know what you will find in the woods!

    If You Can Draw A Straight Line . . .

    May I ask a question about trade execution with multiple orders. I assume that the "disaster stop" is entered simultaneous with the original buy order, be it a(for buy side) LMT BUY, STOP BUY or TRAIL STOP BUY. That disaster stop would likely be a SELL STOP (Market) at say 5 to 10 points...
