You might want to try it after Sunday morning.

Pooks, it is two. Do a search on ET; there are detailed explanations.

I knew one person who (thought) made money from an unwanted trade. However that broker (named starting with "Sc") took all those money back citing him a reason that the broker would have compensated him had it been the other way around.

Even IB's audit trails can and did have bugs. Some of the bugs are reportedly fixed. Regardless, if the case goes to a judge, IB might be able to show joint negligence from both parties and reduce the compensation for the unwanted trade specific damage. On the other hand, OP could also be...

Some time ago, once asked about what's IB's platform's intended behavior for "clicking", "double-clicking" in an event of seeming "half-pressed" transmit button, IB's CSR never mentioned that the tool would think of it as multiple trade requests. Since IB caters primarily active traders, IB...

Unfortunately, in TWS, sometimes transmit button stayed "pressed" or "half-pressed" for a short while, and the user may not reasonably know if the 'original click' was good enough for TWS. IB is aware of it.

Webtrader only has limited functionality.

IBj, Kudos to IB if it reimburses the whole $52k +inactivity fee for the last month to the account holder promptly. Better late than never. I just wished it had not taken 6 weeks and it did not need so much interests of ET. IB needs to work on the promptness so that it does not keep the...

I was talking about just the manually placed orders for this instance. Cool-Trade's having only "market order" even for the manually placed orders is a concern. It seems like that the orders needs to be in very small sizes even for manual orders just to avoid bad fills --specially if the...

Sorak99, Can you place manual limit orders through Cool-Trade? What type of orders can you place manually through Cool-Trade?

regardless of the wording of IB's reply, and regardless of the fault, is IB supposed to reimburse--legally speaking?

Sorak99, suppose you do have cool-trade subscription through AmeritradeIzone, if you place a manual limit order, will you still get the reduced commission for that trade?

With IB's native default order, you cannot place an OTO order such as: if your order#1 (BUY 500sh. of PQR stock at limit price of $12.00) completely gets filled, only then place the order #2 (BUY 500sh. of XYZ stock at limit price of $11.00). Suppose you do not want to use any 3rd party tools...

Ask for a Trade Bust as soon as possible since the execution seems to be very far out of the market. A good broker would try it at the first you reported the issue.

One can opt to remain non-pattern daytrader no matters how much money they currently have in the account. Some brokers will not let you day-trade unless you sign a day-trading disclosure form. Ameritrade has one of the fastest email response services; you can easily get it resolved your way.

Sorak99, it is good to know Cool-Trade implemented your requested feature in a very short amount of time. Cool-Trade's response time is commendable. How fast do they respond when the things go wrong? Since you had accounts with different brokers, how do you compare Izone's current executions...

Suppose a short-sell order triggered by Cool-Trade does not get fully or partially filled by the brokerage firm, can Cool-Trade automatically cancel the respective buy (-to-cover) order? Do you use any other email than what is posted in Cool-Trade's web-site to contact their customer services...

Some other brokerage can handle it even if you do it from the same account. Even if you have IB account, many software can handle tax-lot accounting including your situation. However, if you choose to have just IB accounts and are thinking of submitting IB provided Schedule D-1 to IRS at the...

I did not find any customer service phone number in Cool-Trade's web-site. It is perhaps fine if the email replies are prompt. How long do they usually take to reply emails?

Sorak99, does CoolTrade still charge penny a share extra per trade? Is there a way not to subscribe CoolTrade's data fee? The picture that you sent seem to indicate there is choice to have IB, MBT or Ameritrade's data feed instead.
