Dear Traders, The following message was received by a trader associate of mine. Here are some facts. The account itself has been established...
Well, I modified my API client so I could access TFZ8 and it's just awful. I'm hoping it somehow improves. This is no reflection on IB, of...
Traders in IB's trader chat saying IB gonna phase out ER2 (Russell 2k futures contract) as it moves to ICE. Anybody know the particulars of it?...
I'd like to hear much more about this restriction. I use a pre-loaded order strategy via the API, where the preloaded live order is "smart" and...

All specific comments I have read from IB appear not to have any timeframes, nor to hint at any intent to lower the margins. But it's worth the...

Well, it's all about good design while, at the same time thinking about the load on the system. For example, I have hundreds of analyzer...
Well, these OS's are "soft realtime" anyway. Of course not all of those Java threads are screaming at the same time. So you don't have...
Don't have Vista yet, so no idea. Linux nearly always more efficient, but then maybe the GUI layer not quite as fast as Windows since more of a...
