Looking to share office space with 2-3 knowledgable and profitable traders. I have been succesfuuly trading/investing for over 25 years. Looking to share space and ideas with others who can help to create a positive and enjoyable trading dynamic. May consider mentoring one person but must be...

Toothpaste can not be put back in a tube, but I want to say that I have exchanged email correspondence with Def, it appears that I was probably equally at fault for this mixup. I have several accounts at IB, the account closure letter did not reference an account number, I thought they had...

Thanks Def: You really are the best!! If all at IB were like you and as genuinely concerned, it would be a huge boost for the company and the operation. I will log in and see if I can fund it, and will send you an email as well. Once again many thanks for stepping in. Hpex

But back to the subject at hand. IB handled the account cancellation as they documented they would. So you might not like their approach, but there's nothing really to complain about. From Biog's post above: By the way, on the IB website under account minimums: "An existing...

Good question, why not open another account. I ask myself the same question I guess basically this was the straw that broke the camels back, after 3 or 4 years of dealing with Ib, my attitude was to suck it up when there were problems, and just get on with business and keep my mouth shut. I...

Thanks Def I appreciate your attitude but this is not the prevailing attitude when one calls IB customer service. In my phone call to customer service after receiving the email, I was informed the account has been closed but if I wanted to call funds and banking maybe they could do something...

Sometimes I get so pissed off at IB, I am tempted to just trade elsewhere, today is one of those times. First a little background, I have been an IB customer since they first started offering their product on the internet, my original account number was one of the first accounts, apparently...

When at the Trader Expo in Vegas I heard the pitch from Fidelity and their "active trader service " division. I liked what I heard and liked what they have to offer, but I have not seen them reviewed here. Does anyone have any experience with them, I am actually thinikng about opening a trial...

I have been on a trial with Briefing.com's "Live in Play", it is not a bad service but not enough real news, mostly technical observations and upgrade/downgrade stuff. Any other similar services out there that provide more significant news /edited to filter out all the junk, and provide it in...
