Paul, Looks like the IB window to me (right click on the data line) to bring it up. BRUT is shown on both bid & ask. Best way to resolve it is email IB. I'll try & do that later when I have the chance.

JT Your help would be appreciated on 2 matters. First, how did you get MS8 to start up without requiring a log in? Second, what downloader are you using to acquire data? Thanks in advance

rustic1 You are quite right that, in this context, a data feed is simply the means by which your charting program receives prices. When you open the D4F platform then the charting etc on that platform needs and receives data from a data feed provided by D4F. What you cannot do is use a...

Hi all, I cannot get broadband so my only route to higher speeds and reliability is ISDN. Believe it or not, BT say that many ISPs (including themselves) limit the rate to 64k and they will not tell me who will accept ISDN at 128k - they say they can't be seen to be showing favour to anyone...
