And your recommended alternative is..................?

Thanks for the responses. Now I know it is not just me like the support person is trying to convince me. I went back and forth with several e-mails, trying to get an explanation of why, if it is my ISP where the fault is, that I am still getting my charts to update. She always talked around...

I have been experiencing disconnects from the Price Server several times this week. Usually happens about 10am ET. I first notice the prices in my Level I falling way behind prices reflected in my chart, then all of a sudden my minders and other price data stops updating. The rectangular box...

Thanks, def. I knew if I came here to Elite Trader I would get the right answer. :)

Has there been a change in the way short sales must be entered with the new agreement? They must be designated as such? I have always just done a standard sale and IB knew if I was already long. If I was not, it is a short sale. Some guy on the discussion board at IB web site is making a big...

RealTick allows this through a new "link" feature

Wow. This is weird. I get no buttons or flags when I go to the site. Nothing at all on the left side except blue screen. Do I have this right? http://www.interactivebrokers.com/index.html. That appears to be as far down the hierachy tree of web pages that I can go.

Vinigar, I don't see a Find/Help button on the IB home page. Do you know where it is? Thanks

the 25K rule has been around for a while, so they either missed you before or there is something else going on.

Easyrider Do you use either DSL or Cable? If you do, you may have a network card even though you do not realize it. Both usually use network cards to connect to your computer.

I use Terra Nova now and I have zero complaints about their service. I have never had any problems. However, I guess I just do not trade enough volume both in numbers of trades and shares per trade. As a result, the per ticket fees are eating up too much of what profit I am able to pull out...

Stockerup, Thanks for your note. I look forward to hearing how it goes. I got an e-mail from IB saying that my account application had been approved but I am a little nervious about funding it right now.
