oops, gone again. anyone any ideas why this is happening?

Indeed it is...that's good.

I've not been able to access the Bloomberg website over the last 24 hours. All other websites are accessible as normal. Have tried with both Firefox and IE - no luck. Any ideas on what's going on?

See http://www.tradingmarkets.com/reports/hmrwf.cfm Free until Monday.

Down for 5 mins, now back.

I think it would be crazy to pack in your job and doing so would be more stressful than you could imagine. Please have a look at the following Brett Steenbarger pieces; http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2007/09/when-trading-dream-dies.html...

Perhaps you should try IB again and tell them that a rep said the opposite to another questioner (I was talking to Aimee in IB chat, FWIW). Get them to confirm situation once and for all. However, I'd be shocked if this was regarded as two trades - that would not make any sense at all.

It's one trade - I just contacted IB, who confirmed this.

1 day trade.

Thanks for that.

Am on unbundled commissions for futures with IB. Bundled, IB charges $2.13 per YM contract. Unbundled, the website says that the first 300 contracts of YM in a month are priced at $2.12 and the next 700 at $1.92. However, I am being charged at $2.13 and $1.93 instead. I appreciate that...

I agree with the OP. Excluding commissions makes no sense at all, especially if you're trading a decent number of contracts/shares per day.
