    Which data subscriptions do you subscribe to with IB?

    Yeah I knew this. And wanted to change it, however the admins won't let me. See here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=186538 You can't change a poll for some reason. Dumb EliteTrader website. Outdated. Please do your best, and just choose your favorite, or...

    how to edit a poll or message??

    Hi Joe, Thanks for replying. I just want to change the poll so that it is non-mutually exclusive. i.e. you can choose a multiple number of poll options rather than just one. thanks.
