Despite the shortcomings...I've had etrade, ameritrade, and pfg as brokers...I still think IB is still the best broker I've had. and NT...man, it's the best charting software...their customer service is fast, knowledgeable, and helpful. Can't say any bad stuff about them really.

PROBLEMS SOLVED It's just a case where the tws 918 is still not compatible with NT. Next time, I'll just follow the advice above...I'll upgrade when they knock on the door with a shotgun :)

Freaking crappp.... It seems the latest TWS is not compatible with the latest NT. Downgraded to previous TWS, it says NT is connected but no data streaming in. WTF? I've spent the morning in waste for this shit

Anyone having problems with IB data using third-vendor charting software? I'm using NinjaTrader and I can't get data before the current time. It seems like I have to start collecting data the moment I connect with IB. The problem is just limited to the current day though. IB charts work...

New day, 2hrs after forex "opens" and still IB has forex charting problems. This time they don't have the time limit when the problem will be fixed. Even for IB, this is so unlike them. Take a day off everyone.

Had a chat with one of IB's reps and he said the problem is with their forex server. It is known to them and currently being fixed.

Same here. Had to trade naked with IB chart. So, it seems like IB's problems then.

Can't seem to load current data from IB with Ninja today. What's going on?

I eventually upgraded to version 7 yesterday. It seems to load up faster than the older version. Since I'm a "naked" trader, don't really care about the analytics features. Great job ninja!!!

Check out Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC and Registry Clean Expert and run them weekly. I used up 3 laptops in my first 7 years of trading. Currently I'm using a desktop entering my 3rd year of its use and the desktop is still going strong. I know the arguments that desktop suppose to lasts longer...

When I place market orders, I get the price that I see on the FXtrader...plus/minus half pip (which is seldom). 1minute before and after news announcement...when you place market order...then you're just asking for big slippage :p Overall, IB is pretty good in forex. In futures...I...

I doubt I do more than 500M every month...I like the fact that IB is based in US. If there are other firms that offers 10-15% better commission than IB, I still probably stick with IB. I'm looking for firms that can save me at least 20-25% commission compares to IB, holding the service...

For eur/usd...usually half-pip...even though on my fx trader screen quotes sometimes it shows a pip...but usually only half-pip. I never used other broker than IB, for forex that is, and so I'm just wondering what's other brokers' commission structures like. Do you use Oanda? How's the...

Hello All, I've been trading with IB for a while now. But I'd like to know about other brokers such as Oanda, or others alike. I love IB...with the spread and all, even during news announcement. But after a while, I wonder if there's a "better" broker in terms of commission, assuming...

Really??? No reply?? No one trades news?

Hello, I've been using IB for years now. Very glad with the service, though I've been using forexfactory.com to receive instant updates regarding to economic indicators. I've recently tried to use IB reuters along with google and yahoo RSS to get the econ news updates but to no avail...

quote from NihabaAshi: Therefore, regardless if you trade Hammers or not, they are worth watching to help you identify possible breakouts that are most likely to fail and merits a fade if you get a pattern confirmation for such. What I'm saying is this...successful breakout traders also...

Hello Mark, Thanks for such quick and detailed response. No, I did not take that trade. I also know what you meant about contingency plan. The previous post was just simply to see if I can correctly identify your WH pattern. With that said, below are the list requirements for your WH...

Hello, I've been following this thread over the weekend. It's a long weekend here with the Chinesse New Year thing in Hong Kong. Please comment on the attach file. I think it looks like your description for the white hammer pattern, continuation pattern with at least 3 bars between the...
