LOL. Fools and their money.
I don't really know what tools/tests to run. If you have suggestions for me, I'd be happy to try'em out. I'm using Barchart (for data) and...
Ya know... other than the "wow" factor, I really don't think I need it. I'm not using IB for my data-feed anyways... I have Barchart for...
I use Softlayer with IB/NT. I didn't want a VPS, so have a dedicated server at $160/month. I know that's more than you budgeted... but I'm...
Hi, I'm just curious whether anyone uses Interactive Brokers' "extranet" or dedicated line services. Has anyone installed it, and is it...
Yes, remote into the server and trade off the server. That's what I use right now, and the redundancy is (IMO) priceless. I know people...
You don't need a fast link "at home". Get a fast link by renting a virtual server somewhere. (ThePlanet, SoftLayer, etc.) You'll get the best...
I would suggest you look into a virtual hosting service in the US, so that your trading software runs locally. You'd just log in via Remote...
I'm starting to get the feeling you're really pulling stuff out of your butt, and rather irresponsibly. You must file showing UBTI the year...

Hi, I'm using NT on a multi-day strategy. And just to make it more complicated, it's a multi-day multi-symbol strategy. I currently trade...
I believe E-Trade and TDA are both getting pretty close on that point. I'm not intimately familiar with E-Trade's tools.. just things I've heard...
God, no. Do not go down that path.
I have no experience with sub-accounts. But I am trading semi/fully-automated on IB with NT. I was trading semi/fully-automated on NT with TDA...
I've repeatedly asked NT to either expose their broker API (so that we can write our own), or build a general (FIX-type) protocol module that we...
I'm currently using Softlayer. I'm just not comfortable with the idea of VPS and hardware sharing for something this critical, so am using a...
I'm going to ping this thread, just because I'm also interested in the answer.
I personally assume that it's assuming max "acceptable" leverage. Meaning, you can over-lever for short-term returns, but you'll eventually blow...
Ok, glad to hear the feedback. In my mind I always wondered since we're all working with smaller positions (and thus able to get in/out...
Separate names with a comma.
