IB places instructions about this sort of stuff all over the place on their web site and especially on the client account log in page. If you're a client and don't know about how to send IB money, then shame on you. It's YOUR responsibility to understand how it works. If you don't like it, find...

I'm in Wisconsin and not working here either. I'm on Charter cable.

This "rigged" stuff is just laughable. Look at any chart, from any market, on any exchange, from anywhere on the planet, from any time period. Guess what: they all do the same thing. Prices rotate from supply imbalances to demand imbalances and back. This is done in a fractal manner. Over a...

ooops, I gotta learn how to read. I don't think IB provides ticki, just trin and tick

Tick is TICK-NYSE (or whatever exchange). I didn't know they had prem.

Thanks mgookin, I forgot agout speedtest.net. Lake Chipala is an area in Guadalajara (excuse spelling) where there is a very large expatriate enclave. I want to spend some time down there and investigate moving there but doing as much homework in advance as possible.

sorry bud, this is NOT the wrong site, questions of this nature are asked all the time hear, take a look at how long I've been a member

Sorry if this is not the correct forum, didn't know where this really should go. Can anyone (preferably with direct experience) say what kind of internet connection is available. Feel free to add any comments about how well trading worked from that area. Thanks.

I'm only replying because no one else has. I know little about this, so take it at that. I suspect you can't offset that loss because there is a $3,000 investment loss limit. I hope I'm wrong, but you'll need to go to a real accountant who understands tax law for a real answer. Don't do your...

The answer is staring you right in the face: Ask yourself this - where do you place your stops? If it's roughly 6-8 ticks beyond the swing hi/low, then guess what. You and every other Joe Idiot trader have their stops set there too. This is NOT rocket science, and smart traders understand...

I'd love to see the page showing any "individual", non-company names. I'm not a lover of semantic games. Just because you use your name, doesn't mean you're not a "business". If you sell something, even if you go by Jed Clampett, you're a business. Just ask the IRS.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, as there are numerous market profile vendors, not just two. Aspen Graphics, CQG, Esignal, Investor RT, MarketDelta, just off the top of my head. I'm almost certain there are others.

if you mean their main site home page, just got on now, no problem

thank you both, this helps, I still welcome other input from others

It's been awhile since I worked with TWS. I'm looking at Booktrader (or any other possible solution) to create a bracket/OCO type order with multiple price targets. So far I don't see this as possible. If not, what about some other 3rd party add-on (other than Ninja, just don't like...

I've traded futures, options, and stocks with IB for the better part of 10 years. When I send a marketable futures order, my fills typically come back before my finger is off the mouse. And, happily, the TWS platform now has all the features I so hankered for at the beginning.

Because they haven't taken the time to think it through like you have. There is a misconception that cc's are "safe" and writing puts is risky.

Bear in mind energies are used for hedging, so some trades are hedge trades and the month chosen has to do with desired physical delivery dates. Other speculative traders spread between contract months. I'm sure there are other possibilities too, including the simple fact that some...

There in lay the problem. Most folks around here have a difficult time differentiating between fact and opinion. Many missed all classes except Obfuscation 101. :)

Thanks Ares. There is another issue with the AT data feed. I've seen, time and again, with my own eyes, tick data that is wildly off from that of eSignal and IQ Feed. It happens in fast markets, and the data just get all screwed up.
