I don't think this is advantageous. 40% gross with all the risk? If there is one thing I learned in B School, all business have unlimited upside and limited downside.

if your talkin about the mail in rebate I agree! I sent 2 out it's been over a year, I called and they claim I cashed the check (I didnt), but they will research it for the $25 (cost of the rebate)

anyone else trade etf?

make the big commish for a few months, work 14 hour days if you have to, but really bust your ass and then you will have a stake again.

Looks interesting, like a disco, action all over the page:D

I've been doing well trading them and wanted to share some info. I just wanted to let everyone know about an interesting free ETF website. They don't pitch anything, but do offer a vast amount of knowledge. http://www.spdrindex.com/

If possible, please list the interfaces you know are available, but work well with the TWS. I used to use quite a few platforms, but I'm going to consolidate everything to IB and would like to find a charting /scanner add on. In addition, is there any type of order management software...

Is there a listing for all the software programs that interface with IB?

I started trading a year ago and thanks to some of the advice here on ET I tried trading the ETFs. WOW these are so much more smooth to trade. I hold positions overnight, but I still scalp a little if I get the windfall profit. Another thing I noticed is since they dont really rip...

Look into changing your style. I started focusing on trading the etfs and my trading turned around!!
