    Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer?

    OP, how you doin with the recommendations? What's the status? I'm all for giving a little smack but this thread is getting ridiculous.

  4. What's the over/under on NoodleStrudle (11 previous aliases starting with AsiaProp) being banned again?

    I make it one month at most.

    Good post. What's the conclusion? Time is the only asset we can never get back

  7. Misunderstood then, my apologies. Thought you were referencing the entire IB API stack.

  8. For a general resource on IB, API and automation issues you can also take a look, for instance, at this group on linkedin, which may have, buried inside the countless messages, some useful info: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/4932221/4932221-5911201089918631936

    IB is a great broker, I trust it, however technically there might be some issues especially in Forex. A clear example is when you try to send a limit orders that are actually better than B-A shown; since IB is an ECN and Forex is a "distributed market" ( Non centralized in an exchange ), it's quite possible that you order never gets filled cause Market-Makers won't allow you to be better than they. I'm tired to listen that constant complain and so far it's not clear how IB routes the orders, sometimes against any IB's client, sometimes with another MM. Tough area.

  10. Why use R when IB has an API in C++ ?
