proud to be an american, cause we're leading the world to the depths of hell? :)

how do you calculate your sigma, I.e. what lookback period do you use, often times ppl refer to x sigma events, but I wonder over what time period, ie are they looking at daily bars over x years, or weekly, etc. Ie to calculate the std dev is there a standard that people use when referring to...

with Countrywide and now MER, will it truly become bank of AMERICA, since AMERICA will own it?

Hi Def; Thanks for the repsonse. yes I'm moving from IB -- its not just this occassion, there is a myriad of transgressions Iso I'm moving what I can to other brokers. I emotionally dont even want to ever call IB again :)

how long does it usually take to find out about a bust request?

I used IBs smart router, it took place at 9:30:01 on NSX; as note they don't let trades execute until the primary exchange opens. Does anyone know what the case is for odd lot orders? HOpefully def can shed some light on this situation.

Hi, I have an experimental account I test strategies with. I bought a small odd lot of DGIT today at the open with a market order. I got filled at 21.88; the official open was 20.18 and 20.59 was the HOD. I called IB and they said odd lot orders don't get printed to tape (ok) and I get...

ameritrade will do $5, just ask for the same pricing as their izone affiliate.
