Pure curiosity question - where did everyone infer the $160 from the OP's original post? I'm not a futures guy so I don't really understand how...
In my opinion, this guaranteed interest rate concept is a recipe for blow-up. In that case, you're really just increasing leverage...
In reference to a comment earlier in the thread about the challenges of IB's FFA structure, where you trade all accounts in lock-step and can end...
No different than 3 weeks ago, I suspect. How do you mean?
And a different quote source I found (below) shows values that are about an order of magnitude less (multiplier of 100?) but not exactly an order...
I am in need of some (simple) help on reading currency forwards on the USD/INR pair. The below table has 1M, 2M etc... forward rates on the pair,...
Doubtful anything has changed. My biggest annoyance with OQ was the non-response to straightforward questions on the forum, especially bugs...
For completeness, also check out OpenQuant (smartquant). I put them in the same camp as RightEdge (very similar actually) but slightly better in...
Interesting thread. I tried to use RightEdge about 12 months back and ended up being dissatisfied with (a) the architecture for multi-symbol...
Got it. I've long been interested in tracking the same for myself but it's not as straightforward as you'd like it to be. I'm frankly surprised...
Have you looked at their website? Maybe here http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=smartRouting
I looked at ADL and it seemed nice (and not cheap) but TT is only for futures I believe, so don't bother if looking for equities
Not sure the OP has implemented the API in this case. I think a request for a "check box" suggests it's a TWS manual trade entry. I know that my...
I don't have an answer to your question, but a similarly annoying feature of hard to borrows on IB - I actually didn't realize the behavior you're...
Can you say more about what this means to users? I've been a user of OpenQuant off and on, have generally been frustrated by the limitations...
Yes, apparently PM accounts are eligible. I have gotten paid small amounts while being a PM account, and the rep that looked into my particulars...
I don't think that's quite right, but maybe IB-AN can confirm. If you had a $10K account, long 10K and short 10K, your cash balance would say...
I'm still struggling to get any benefit from this (like 0.001% of account value thus far) but to be fair I learned that it has to do with my...
And for really good backtesting with more of a GUI and integrated IDE, try WealthLab (now offered by Fidelity for US residents). C# based, though...
Take a look at TradeLink (www.tradelink.org). It's an open source project in C# that very much depends on your using Visual Studio and having a...
