JK Why not try posting your question on http://www.trade2win.co.uk/ there are some very savvy IB folk there
I caught up with the meaning of TWS - Trader Workstation at IB. Reference DOM, I noticed at the IB website this: "Open Market Depth/Level II Order on Trading Page. After you create an order from either the Market Depth or Level II window, the trading page that holds the order will pop in front of the Market Depth or Level II window to make it easy for you to review the order parameters and transmit the order." What is IF1 and IF2? Someone must know. Anyone please?
Ok, the solution is to choose GLOBEX instead of CME when creating the market line in TWS. GLOBEX offers Market Depth, CME does not. I figured this out all by myself! JohnnyK
Globex is the electronic engine the CME uses for electronic trading. Depth of market for open outcry products like the big S&P is not available. The data feeds can only carry the depth of market for electronics.
It would be very interesting to have your observations on the correct and incorrect interpretations for using the Stochastic. I use it in the 5.2.3 mode as you suggest and its undoubtedly a very effective calibration. How do you characterize it? How do you prefer to interplay the MACD histogram with the STOCHASTIC? Any comments you care to make are greatly appreciated (and educational). Thanks.
