  1. you should move to THink or Shit. They would have filed you at 40 cents instantly and then resold it at $1 lol . At least they are honest enough to have a price cap

    I have no experience with TOS.
    I'm always using limit orders only.

    Tomorrow I'll try to switch the time zone in TWS to US ET...

    Update:

    Ok, I already did it, and it works!
    One just needs to add the following into the start script just before the line where TWS gets started:
    export TZ="US/Eastern"

    (BTW, this is of course on Linux :) In Windows one would use
    set TZ="US/Eastern"
    (the Windows thing is untested here, just guessing)

    I don't understand: You were saying that IB gave you one million SIM dollars for free in the first place, and then they tried to cheat you out for a few SIM bucks?

    I cannot believe this thread even exists anymore... this is just a joke!

    It's ... a ... sim ....

    Your orders do not show up in the orderbook... just on your screen... and nobody is front running you... because you are in a sim!!!!

    Some posters still don't understand the point.
    It's about reporting a possible important bug in the system or in the platform... Warning other users about such an issue...

    So what did IB say when you reported the sim-front running scheme?

    [edit, I guess I just hit the ignore list ;)]

    [edit 2, I'm just trying to get this thread to the Hall of Fame!!! :D]
