It Used to be free, then $50.......now I hear its a 100: That's peanuts relative to other sites and vendors charging 1,000's and hence the basis for the Big Mike smear; as well as jealousy, the site is now a major trading information and resource hub spawned after a major financial...

Has anyone using IB TWS standalone have experience being filled with out first receiving "acknowledgment" in the audit trail, and as a result never have the orders or subsequent orders appear as filled on the platform? This happened to me with 3 trades on 05-03-11 on ESM1 into the close...

Training? That requires talent, tools and time. ..oh and $ But If a company requires a high level of performance but doesn't readily provide the tools to easily and effectively, trade, monitor and analyze the trading performance on the fly, intra-day, trade by trade or strategy by strategy...

A shot?...Why bother..Really There is no track "record" Just a P&L for a MONTH!. The platform does not provide any trade performance data. The platform is cheese.... overpriced cheese. Look at the commissions...ridiculously high..must be platform fees in there They used to offer...

Does FXCM round up commission to the next 100k lot for the 5/100k/side? Is 150k trade charged 7.50/ side or is it rounded up figured as 200K and charged 10.00/side commission?

Well I say if you want to make this "Best Deal" even Better, or Great, then IB should charge .25/10K/side and not the standard 2.50/side for all piker orders less than 100k.<Lets see IB work that DEAL mini/micro pricing. As it stands now spreads open way up on such sizes w/ the same...
