>Schaefer Don't know what I did wrong, but it looks like you must expand the above attached chart for it to print clearly.

While TWS crashes occur only once a month or so with me, when they do happen I always think 'Have they noticed it?'. Surely IBcan't monitor every instrument on every market. And not @knowing if bells ring, if whistles blow or sirens sound when@a crash occurs, it's an eneasy...

Worry about the earthquakes---not the data. And for your information I have noticed that bid/ask quotes and size during heavy trading in the Nikkei and JGB Futures is usually faster by a few seconds from IB and eSignal than from many of the local Japanese brokers.

That's not true. That type of talk has been heard a number of times since early last year when they had to close the exchange early one day. Since then the TSE has taken measures to increase its ability to handle an ever larger number of orders ahead of its plan to install a new computer...

Boy, I really feel sorry for you guys. Here in Japan most of us have optical fiber connections with up and down speed of 100Mbps for just $30 a month. True, to send an order, 100Mbps or just 1Mbps makes no difference. But on one connection I run 3 computers with 5 monitors with eSig, IB and...

>millahills I hope I can be of more help to you than some of the children who have wasted your time here. Your profile shows that you live in xiamen. In that case you would not be able to open an account with a Japanese broker here as you are required to have an address in Japan...

>MarketMonk If you go to the page dcraig suggested, the exchange hours are wrong for Tokyo and Osaka on the General Information page for each contract. The hours on the main page are correct.

>MarketMonk For the Nikkei 225 each tick is 10 yen (17410,17420)and the value is 10000 yen per tick(true contract value is 17,420,000 yen at today's close). The Nikkei Mini is 1/2, 5 yen and 5000 yen. The JGB is quoted as 134.70, 134.71, with each .01 being 10000 yen. Today's contract...

>dupaski76 Have you looked at eSignal? You can take a 30 day free trial.

>morbius14 I read Technical Analysis of Stock Trends 35 years ago and am darn glad that it was the first book that I read on TA. I HIGHLY recommend that you read it. However, and this I think is important, try to find the 6th edition. This is the last edition that was put out by Magee. I...

>Whitster I read the book too, as it was of interest to me in that at that time I was selling what he was buying(on a smaller scale, of course!). So it was really Leeson's inability to read the trend that broke Barings. If he had just had any idea how to read the chart, he wouldn't be...

>Whister The bubble broke in 1989. He didn't see it and kept on buying. But it wasn't until after the Kobe earthquake, 6 years after the bubble broke , that he got creamed. So this case does not seem to be related to Daal's question. gaijin

>Whitster That was Barings, an English bank. Had nothing to do with the Japanese bubble. Leeson was buying Nikkei futures when he should have been selling them. gaijin

>Daal Brokers didn't go under when the bubble burst. They took drastic cost cutting measures like closing offices etc. No customers lost money. What hurt the retail brokers more was the start of internet trading and the liberalization of commissions in 1999. They lost 90% of their...

>optionpro007 Sorry, I live in Tokyo and only daytrade JGB and Nikkei. So I can't say how IB's alerts and stops would work over sessions as I don't use or need those functions. gaijin
