I was suspicious when I first started getting fills from TMBR because of the affiliation. But truth be told, they've pretty great fills, at least so far. I personally don't care who fills the trade as long as it's immediate and at my price.

I think that these message boards have really helped in getting IB to make constructive changes. They have really started to 'get it' regarding customer service, and iit seems that they are listening to suggestions and acting on them. More of the IB discussion has moved to the new IB board...

I have some trades I wish would disappear...but we won't go there. Sorry, couldn't resist. :) 99

Well until/unless there's someone from IB who is responsible for timely responses to the new posts on the new board , seems like a waste of time to even go there. Better off to just post here. I think IB resources would be well spent in having someone actively involved on the board though...

I just listened to the AMTD/Datek conference call. When pressed by an analyst as to whether or not Datek's commissions would be raised to bring them into line with AMTD's (which are 50% higher for limit orders), AMTD management said that the financial projection assumptions included no pricing...

Barron's new issue published a revised "What it costs, what you get" addendum table that includes IB (which it erroneously left off last week) although I don't know where they got the commissions which are listed as $5 for both a market and limit order. Following is an excerpt from this week's...

The IB room is on the Othernet. There are several servers, but try Warren.MS.US.Othernet.org, Philadelphia.PA.US.Othernet.org or Oslo.NO.EU.Othernet.org to name a few. The room is #InteractiveBrokers. 99

I use a third party application to do that. I use it to grab my transaction histories from various brokers including IB. It has different reports and options for reviewing/searching through your trades and results but one of the features I like best (besides dealing with the different methods...

"Although they didn't include IB in their "What It Costs, What You Get" section. Not sure why." I emailed the reporter and she responded that she's not sure how it happened. IB was included in that table in the manuscript and draft she received. She also noticed it when she looked at the...
