Interactive Brokers - IB TWS will do it. Most other brokers would have similar system.

Average real trader use only small portion of enormous amount of features in TWS. Most normal people never would know what is in this bloated program. Maybe the current outage is not related to the TWS buggy program. However, it is obvious that so much garbage built into a program do not...

IB does not have this scaling out order type. You need to enter 4 separate orders linked with OCA groups. Let say you are long 2 contacts based on your breakout system. You enter order A to sell one contract at target 1 price and stop order B at your stop price. You assign OCA number, let...

They have computers and sophisticated systems so we follow up our orders manually? It is stupid! I am sorry, cannot find better words.

Yes, why do not you pick-up the phone and place your order and write down on piece of paper your order. Then IB will charge $200 commission as it used to be? Is that what you are doing? Is IB going backwards? It’s impossible, even if that what they would like to do.

IB just introduced new feature. It will cancel GTC order automatically after ninety days without sending any notice. Some traders use GTC stop order to reduce market risk. Now IB management will cancel this order automatically placing their customers at risk. Good order execution is the most...

Dennis Gartman is the best trader. He is no B.S. straightforward guy with more than thirty years experience. The good news is that there is a new fund that follows his letter. See http://www.hapetfs.com/gartman_cf.asp It is trading in Toronto exchange and will be converted to ETF later. :)

Vista is stable and has no problems on new computers. It was not compatible with old hardware. It does NOT make any sense to go back in technology. Sooner than later new software and hardware would not be compatible with XP. Furthermore, Vista is also more secure than XP.

Good presentation. I am not a TOS customers and in fact, this is the first time I see your video. It would be a valuable addition to ET to balance mostly useless posts.

Thank you Jay and Scott for the response. The work around you suggested solved the problem. Oh well.. probably will continue paying mega-bucks for eSignal. Its like addiction, once you get used to it, difficult to quit. LOL

I have just tried the new 10.3 version of eSignal. It is amazing how these guys can go from bad to worst. In old version you could easy sort either by change, name or whatever you want by clicking on any field. I use summary windows for stocks and futures lists. New version does not load...

They are paying interest on some currencies and balances. Its not much, but much better than others. In AUD its more than 5%??? Bad luck with USD. LOL See on their web site: http://www.interactivebrokers.ca/en/accounts/fees/interest.php?ib_entity=ca BM = Benchmark Rate USD 10,000 0%...

Here are my two cents. Trading platform has to fit your needs and your level of experience. No professional trader would use E-Trade. IB is definitely the best choice for experienced trader. However, they will not hold your hand and will not spend much time on the phone with you...
