Definitely <B>Rogue Trader</B>

Magna, You are absolutely correct in that offering a stock .01 below the inside ask will not get you filled a lot of the time. That's precisely why I used the word "accepted" and not "filled" to indicate my order always being posted on Island. By saying that my order is always posted on Island...

Actually, I've been using Island exclusively to route all my QQQ trades (average about 6-8 round-trips a day) and have had absolutely no problems shorting at any time. Most of the time I offer the stock 1 cent lower than the inside ask and my orders are accepted 100% of the time. Hope this...

I had the same problem about a year ago, when I really wanted to have 3 tabs for 1, 5 and 15 minutes respectively. I contacted MB Trading and they promptly designed this tab for me. You can obviously change any of the chart studies, time frames, etc. within each chart. Since I cannot upload...

Samba, I've been following Don Miller ever since he joined Tradingmarkets.com web site. I was trying to learn trading the Qs, but his strategies were not very clear to me . Then I heard him speak at the TM 2001 conference and was truly impressed. He was one of the few speakers at the...

I had no problem accessing my 1099 under Account Access/Account Statements section of the site. The link was at the bottom of the statements page, underneath the daily and monthly statement portion. Hope this helps. :) IRAF
