    Ib Sucks

    TWS (both browser and the standalone application) is not available on the weekends. They actually have this posted somewhere on their website but I don't believe it is easily found. There have been suggestions on the IB forum before that they enable a clear message to people who try to log...

    Is RS charting available free?

    In StockCharts there is an indicator called "Price Relative" which automatically defaults to $SPX but you can change the comparison to any stock. Thus, it will show the line in an indicator pane below the chart of the stock you are looking at (or you can change the pane to be above the chart).

    Would like to be an IB Customer!

    Thanks, I just tried the online chat and did get someone. They got very confused about why I would pay taxes in 2 countries. They kept asking me to use my US address but I now only have a Japan address (had a US residence for a while but that got messy). Their "work around" was to start the...

    Would like to be an IB Customer!

    That's exactly my point! I AM a US citizen. Actually, none of the W-8 forms (W-8BEN, W-8IMY, W-8ECI or W-8EXP) are applicable to US citizens. The instructions for each one specifically state they are NOT to be used by US citizens. In most cases, you are not to fill out any form except...

    Would like to be an IB Customer!

    Def, curious if you have an answer to my problem. Please don't take this as a ding to IB because I have had the exact same problem with other brokerages. The reason I am asking via ET is that it is Thanksgiving so I am sure IB is probably closed and was just curious (I also have some time on...

    Prop Firms in Japan?

    I was just discussing this with one of my colleagues (they are all Japanese) last Friday and he didn't know of any. Your post has made me curious and I will try to ask around this week at my firm. I work at one of the large audit firms here and maybe someone in our financial services...

    A Newbie Trading Journal

    Just wanted to drop a line and wish you luck. I also live here in Japan (Tokyo) and have been here for about 5 years. I was here on secondment from the US (Dallas) but just recently became a local hire with the Japan firm (basically permanent now). Unfortunately, I still have a day job...

    Tick Charts/Bars

    7.1 Beta is now available. Of course, it is only available to current subscribers. It was made available to Yahoo eSignal group members a while back but there is now a link from the eSignal home page (look for the announcement). I haven't tried it yet since I use eSignal with MB Trading's...

    MBTrading: Any comments?

    I've been using them about 3 months now (about that new to daytrading since adding the style to my swing trading). I also use the Navigator with eSignal but with XP Pro and they work together very well. I have only had one very minor issue with an order entry button and used the online...

    Cheapest for Big Size

    I currently use MB Trading and the integration of their order entry with eSignal has worked very well so far (used them for about 3 months so far). Very seamless. I chose them because of the $9.95 fee as well as the integration with eSignal since I trade in lots from 1000 to 5000 shares...

    about tax...

    Ojo I currently live in Tokyo, Japan. I am a US citizen but have been here for 5 years. I am not a lawyer (worse, an accountant) but I believe I understand the basics. The US will not allow dual citizenship so metooxx is correct that if you are currently a US citizen (which it sounds...

    CEO signoff

    Worse yet, most CFOs don't know what GAAP is. I am a US CPA with one of the (now) big 4 firms on assignment in Japan currently and work exclusively with multi-national SEC companies. I am amazed (as are my European and Australian counterparts) that most US CFOs are not even certified accountants.
