[/b] Yeah have to agree there. I take the quotes from IB and pump them into a few of custom apps, one of which is a charting package. It works...
This makes no sense to me. All quotes are history. Are you saying there is no value in using price quotes in trading? Why use anything at all?...
Yeah I wish the Market Depth window updated every second. It is more like every 10 seconds or whenever the bid/ask changes whichever comes first.
Could you clarify what the above means? Thanks, TriPack I'm not saying that the IB feed isn't realtime. It is. But IB doesn't transmit...
To clarify: IB transmits its quotes every 1 second. Exchanges transmit all data but IB only transmits a 1 second snapshot. Just see for yourself...
Just as there is a rythmn in the markets there is a regular 1 SECOND heartbeat during normal market hours as the EMini fluctuates to and fro. In...

I think it has been said that the only stock reccommendation that may be of any value is one from a disinterested third party (meaning one that...
Or to put it another way, perhaps the unholy grail is creating a consistently unprofitable system, but the holy grail is fading it. bwahaha! :D
There is always the danger of continually switching to the next best thing. This also has some relation to the everlasting search for the holy...
There is a way but it requires a bit of programming (just a bit). When your program makes the ActiveX request, its thread is blocked until the...
Someone's tag line is "spinners are winners" which the poster explained means flipping or reversing. So I guess the question is if you are long 1...
