Yeah.. I dont meet the initial margins for CL or ES, and ZN kind of spooked me. You are right LE only has ~10K volume, ES has ~ 1Million. After I get some experience and fund the account some more next year maybe I could trade the 'big boys' ES, CL, GC. "A simpler solution is to run IBGateway instead of TWS. JBT works with either one, but the advantage of IBGateway is that it never exits." Do you have a link to show the steps? or forum discussion? I thought IB gateway was only for data collection, and for actual trading one needed something else called FIX CTCI of which I know nothing about... thanks, I'll start reading about both. "JBT has a way to gracefully recover from the temporary TWS disconnects. However, if you have power outage problems, all bets are off." When it reconnected after ~10 minutes it immediately closed the position (got out). I don't know if that was because the strategy told it to.. or if it was it a feature in JBooktrader, it worked out ok, so I was happy.. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
