Hey, I didn't know IB had a program to get the Secure Computing device studded with crystals.... Where do I sign up? :D
Ran into a new issue with GTC orders on ArcaEdge this week (ticket filed), but the incident reminded me of this thread. Did IB/NYSE ever work...
To be more precise on my comment: Each streams engine has its own extensions to SQL to work with time/etc. A common desire is for DB vendors to...
I'll defer to others on this one. I've seen StreamBase used at a bulge bracket bank and the sheer amount of data they run it on... well, that...
I have not lost settings between TWS upgrades... but the following tip may be useful. If you grab the tws.xml file (exit first to make sure it...
StreamBase as in the streams processing DB? Stonebraker is a great mind in the DB community and I know of at least one bulge bracket firm quite...
Having helped a friend remove a macro recorder was the event that put me on the paranoid side. (Actually I wanted him to re-install his OS but he...
Except for the charting, I find TWS' UI easier than CyberTrader, TOS, MB, and numerous others, even from day one. I think it's a matter of if...
I guess it's what we mean by regulated. The rules are not that tight in FX, but that applies to all players. HotSpot is an NFA member FCM. As...
I don't think it has been rolled out for individuals yet.
Slightly different question -- does anyone have experience as to how long it takes PM to be approved? It said a few business days, but i's been...
This reminds me of a very minor nitpick that I've been told of the programmers are already aware. Namely any ACH in resets the displayed Avail...
Maybe I haven't given them as much credit as I should. I never liked the following facts: 1) institutional and retail ECNs are separate; 2) you...
Thx -- I guess it is not yet the solution. Wonder if HotspotFX will beat it now that it's part of Knight and given that Reuters is being taken...
Also note that different data sources cover different markets -- usually not a big factor but exact highs/lows or if a particular idea of exact...
Speaking of ECNs -- anyone know how Reuters FX Marketplace is working out? And of any retail brokers which connect to it?
So I for one am curious as to what the explanation was on why the ACH out was rejected. I'm clearly pro-IB (as if anyone can't tell already)...
[Please forgive if everyone already knows this, but it has been a source of frustration for me until I finally figured it out!] In a separate...
Security-wise, my biggest beef w/ETrade is how easy it is to get things reset when you lose access. With IB,it's that TWS is not yet on the STP...
I would contact customer service for an explanation. Could it be a simple as waiting for T+3 settlement if a lot of the positions are equities?
