I did it with NT 8 and it was pretty straight forward. The compressed file they sent me with historical data has it broken out among Bid, Ask, and Last. NT can only read "last". If you go into tools/ options there is the ability to load historical data (think its historical data manager)and I loaded the "last" file. Would post here but the file size is too big. CQG also sent directions, but they're readily available on the internet. Think I searched for "loading historical data in NT". Hope that helps.
Hi there I just came across this thread, I'm interested looking into JNM as well. If you could send me the file I can have a look and and see whether can corroborate the results?
Was IB planning to start as a broker for the customers in Brazil, or was IB planning to offer Brazilian products to its customers in the US and Europe?
This is also interesting point.Can you imagine what they hear here ? Go away ! We dont need you ! Whole sector was againt them and try to block them.WSE say that most technical advanced broker need to test their system ( the same as euronext got !! ) for... 6 months.When CQG was trying to add WSE they ... refuse.Jesus.Answer is simply - IB takes 0.1 % commission while brokers here ...0.39 %. Yes - 0.39 % per side.
The same case was in Brazil - foreigners are bad they will destroy us ! As I know ( im not sure)even Saxo was retreat from there...
Tommip in trading permissions by IBKR you can activated this markets. In market data subscription you have in the moment Prague Stock Exchange Cash Market LVL 1 and LVL 2 only.
Saxo Brasil if i remember the commissions was to high for trading and Saxo is overall expensive broker.
True - but Im just sayn WHY it is like that.IB was trying to start operating here 15 march this year with full WSE ( warsaw stock ex) product list ...but they were unable due to ,,hate'' from financial sector here.They try to block IB and start a protests - becouse it is ,,dishonest offert'' (!!).Can you imagine ?
The same was in Brazil and Saxo does not offer it anymore - at least it is not on their instrument list anymore.
They are afraid IB will take money from their pocketbut they cant prevent it IBKR will bring on this market more liquidity and more profits for GPW. and GPW and Polish Financial Supervision Authority know it. Send message to IBKR and ask them about progres to start offer stocks from (WSE).
Exactly.Market here was really great few years ago,with more then 50 000 futures per day we were in top 5 in europe ... but these ( here i should put some rude words ) change FW20 spec and almost kill this market.Now they try to defend this idiotic fees and commissions,but IB is strong as I see and they are not scared .I wish that our region will be on TWS but no one here is interested on this.Its so ... ridiculous.For me its not so importand becouse i have api,great data and good commissions but I also want to see more volume here - and im really pissed off that financial sector here is acting like Brazilian one...
I trade S&P500 Futures ES 100% Automated. The Brazilian Stock Exchange Bovespa offers trading ES with the local currency.
My aunt in Brazil wanted me to trade her money. It would make the most sense for her to open an account with an "IB-like" broker in Brazil with Brazilian currency and operate it online, I could operate her account online from here in the US.
For my aunt to open an account over here, too much redtape is required. And if I put her money in my account over here in the US, I would have to split the income taxes that I pay, etc.
However, like you said, the local brokers in Brazil have something like a cartel that makes it impossible for foreign brokers to get in.
Their connections are bad, their software is bad, their commissions are sky-high. You have to subscribe separately (and pay separately) for the Platform, for the Data Feed and for the actual broker. 3 different companies and they don't talk very well amongst themselves.
It's a bummer.
Another question, Tommip: You mention IB and API. Do you link IB with Excel-Spreadsheet? Something else? Both ways? (data feed into excel and order sending)?
