Hi, Just tried that. Still states 'Idle, no connection', in Ensign. TWS should prompt me to accept the connection but it dosent so I honestly think the problem is to do with TWS. I sent IB an email last Friday and I am waiting on their response.

Does anyone know what the best value data-feed to use for Ensign would be. I am trying to get away from E-signal as I really do not want to continue paying $104 per month for the software (which I do not use) plus the cost of the feed on top. IB has a service but they do not have back-fill which...

Cheers guys.... Beyonder - Backfill might be an issue. I trade ES and Nasdaq stocks so not sure about this, trouble is I cannot ever get any support from Ensign. Frustrating.. LevII - Yep done that, checked everything, all set up ok. Fibcouple - I trade intra day only. Can you explain to...

I cannot get my Ensign software program to connect to the IB data feed. As sure as I can be everything is set up correctly and as per the instructions as provided by Ensign. I am getting a feed through as my T-Sim execution software is showing data. One thing I have noticed though is that when...

I have just opened an account with IB. I am using Ensign to display my charts but I cannot seem to push IB's data-feed into Ensign. I have enabled the facility within Ensign to accept IB as my data feed, enabled activeX and socket clients within TWS and tried closing and opening both TWS and...

Has anyone experienced this and found a solution to the problem? I have tried to contact Ensign technical support by email several times and never get a reply or even acknowledgement of my email! I apply a study into the program and work off the 1, 5 and 15 min timeframes. Frequently when...

Neil, It's incredible. Another helpful link, how on earth do you do it? You must have more links than a 1000 chain factory's. Keep up the good work.

Will be sending a PM to you Undertaker.

Believe in yourself! Undertaker - Go with what makes you happy, after all we only have one chance at it. Yes trading can be seen as a risky business to those on the outside and indeed sometimes it can be for those without a stratergy but alot comes down to very basic issues such as common...

Thanks guys for the input. After a bit of thought I bought the Samsung SM213T (21") today and the Matrox G450MMS card. I will be able to run the 21" (main display) through DVI connection, then the other two 17" monitors in the traditional way. The card will be able to take another monitor should...

(Bluewave) I have found by previous experience that graphics cards can and will cause real problems with your PC's settings if things go wrong. I purchased a card from Mesh once, installed it and it did not work. I removed the card and it the damn thing somehow managed to remove nearly all my...

Okay guys thanks for your help. It looks like the best way is to get a 'dual header'. I will have a look around. Now to find that third monitor to compliment my twin 17 inchers! I am looking for the largest quality screen I can get for under £1k. Any recommendations? Cheers

PCI card That's very kind, thanks. I just need to know first if I have the room for it in my machine. It's not even that my machine is that old, purchased it approx 7 months ago so I am not sure what the guy is talking about.

I did ask the technical guy from Mesh Computers if I could just install another PCI card but he said there is no room for it which is why he suggested maybe replacing the one I have with a dual head card. Is he talking out of his back-side?

After a spell of trading UK stocks & European indices I have decided to take a look at day trading Nasdaq stocks. The short term, big movers appeal and as such I would like to create a Nasdaq Boardwatch that I can monitor on a regular basis in preparation to take those all important quick and...
