Clearly you are a psycho-analyst, & can achieve that via some e-mail messages. Too funny, if not so pathetic.
I was in same brokerage firm with Ed Seykota many years ago; we became friends, although our trading style was quite different. I was very...
Not a real debit, just a bug in display in BookTrader. Very annoying, and distracts from trading, but no real world change in balances.
I've given-up dealing with IB tech support. Have traded with IB for 20 years, and keep looking for other brokers.
Sorry, had referred to micro, as mini, and yes, better risk mgmt, and esp in these mkts, with almost record intra & overnight swings, it provides...
IMO, no hit on quality of life. But impressive how you are able to translate whatever impact to a dollar figure. Thus far, that has eluded the...
Perhaps, but I'm quite use to hearing prices overnight. I rarely take photos of screens, nor even capture tools, but showing a 50% loss on a...
More: I would get less sleep, if I did not know where the mkt was during the night. But just hearing, say up/down 5.50 is relatively calming...

Another IB problem I've had for a while. Attached, I sold 2 e-minis, one was liq from a low purchase over night, but then went short one at...
Why? What makes 1 or 2 months out-of-data so important? The system presumably worked on 5 years of data, but not on 2 months? System are...
I know this will not be well accepted, but testing "out of sample data" is a waste of time. I will neither identify, confirm, or disprove that...
On the contrary, quite profitable. I only dealt with fiduciaries, not individuals. Min acct 1/2 million. After a while, the time/energy took...
Years ago I was CTA, running money, including my own, with computer program, after testing literally millions of back-testing. I doubt I ever...
Correction: Above was on my notebook computer, but the same IB version, the BookTrader does NOT permit pull-down price wheel. Very odd -- and...
Portraying Cramer as a clown, does a disservice to clowns everywhere. PT Barnum may be more suitable comparison.
Ironically, after several days, I'm now able to have pull-down price wheel on price, not just other fields. Unless IB modified from their end,...
