There is a lot of opportunity for individual traders to provide liquidity at the open.

Is this because of the announcment that Peterfly is going to slowly retire?

Thank You to the people who brought this to IB's attention, and to the IB team for fixing it so promptly. I'd seen this problem too with my account and was really glad to stumble across this thread and see that it has been fixed.

Often rich people are buying houses with unique locations. If Eddie Lampert really wants to live in an exclusive island off of the coast of Florida, he can't necessarily look at 10 houses and pick the perfect one that meets all of his needs. Only 30 lots exist on this island, and probably this...

Here is one anecdotal data point: I'm about to close on a house in SoCal. I was only making offers on fixer-upper houses priced to sell near the beach. I offered a little lower than the asking price on the first, but I didn't get my offer in in-time and they took another one. I offered...

My Mother In Law once pointed out that her pension is guaranteed by the State Constitution...she doesn't seem to notice that the CA state constitution changes through ballot measures on a fairly regular basis. It's irrelevant anyway. Governments can't legislate reality. Whether its...

Where the people in line paying their cable bill in person? The 2 times, I have had to return a cable-modem, there were all of these people in line in front of me, who were apparently paying their cable bill in person! This blew my mind that a large amount of people travel to the cable...

I put it in my scrambled eggs in the morning. It doesn't change the taste and it makes them a more appealing bright yellow color.

The few times I've needed IB customer support over chat and phone have always been great for me.

Actually, I think working the long hours with little free-time is probably one of the causes of our high-consumption society. People without a lot of leisure time, try to find pleasure in consumption instead in the hopes that it will increase the value of what little leisure time they do have...

I haven't logged into my prosper account in several years. Thanks for reminding me of this....I should log in and get the rest of my money out of that shithole. I think it has been almost 3 years since I got in, so whatever loans that didn't default are probably paid off now. (BTW, search my...

INTC yields 4% now.

Thanks for your help guys. I am getting tick 14 now and those other ticks as well. It looks like the times I had originally tested this during live trading, I had a small bug in my code that was excluding the tick, and other times I was testing this using the edemo/demouser account when those...

Just to clarify, I was talking about getting the day's official opening price during live trading like is shown within Trader Workstation. Are you saying that during the regular trading day, I can call "reqHistoricalData()" and request a daily bar for the current day, and get the current day's...

How do you obtain the day's opening price from the TWS API? From the API examples, I was thinking I should be checking for tickType==14 in the tickPrice handler, but tickType 14 never shows up. While, I'm at it, I've also never seen TickType=6, or TickType=7 (presumably the day's high and...
