  1. That pullback came 1 tick away from my entry before that huge jump. Still on the sidelines.

  2. On the IB site, I see that these exchanges have offer free data:

    Sydney Futures Exchange
    Hong Kong Futures Exchange
    Singapore Exchange (SGX)
    Korea Stock Exchange

  4. The osaka futures data is pretty cheap too. But while you test your strategy just use sgxnk .... be aware it has longer hours than osaka.

  5. Looks like some real interest by the looks of the thread.

    I have an IB account and would like to trade Asian stocks. Any suggestions on getting real time quotes?

    Perhaps something that works well with ninja trader?

    Thanks

  6. My trading computer locked up on me. I had an order in the book to get long 2 STW's at .20 when it froze. By the time I got IB up and running on my backup computer I saw it was at .30 so I exited both contracts. Now my trading machine is back up and running but I can't get IB to start. Very weird, and very stressful there for a few minutes.

  7. good time to be long now i suspect (but dont know ... i m long 347.5 but nervous)

    sorry about ur pc going down.

    i use sierra chart to chart ib data and for order entry.

    i used to use zeroline trader for order entry till sc introduced the feature. i use ninja when i want to paper trade something because their sim is very realistic about fills.

  8. Anyone else having problems with IB? It's freezing like it did that night a couple of weeks ago... this time it's not waiting for me to connect Ensign.

  10. Never mind, seems to be working now. I'm a little concerned about proceding though, I want to see it stay unfrozen for a few minutes before entering another trade.

    I use installed TWS too.
