Doesn't sound like much potential, up OR down, when you have so many sharks trying to take other sharks' money. Probably a slow grind to death, would be my opinion for some.

Why are you people such a bunch of doubting fools? I can see now, if I sent in pictures of my setup, I'd definetely be called a liar here.

How did you acomplish voice activation of orders? Very nice setup btw.

That's why they're closing, there's no money in it. Why would anybody charge you $0 unless they're being paid under the table? Else, the'll just go the way of freetrade.

Considering the hardware you've got, your best bet would probably be a 2 monitor pci video card. This way you can keep your current card installed where it is now with the 1 monitor attached and have the capability of adding a 3rd monitor later. Also, if there should be some compatibility issues...

First, look in your computer's manual and find out what kind of video slot you have on the motherboard. It should be something like...AGP 4X, AGP 8X, PCIexpress. Then you can proceed from there. Also, do you envision having more than 3 monitors?

Maybe somebody could integrate some type of lever and flashing lights? Make it like a slot machine? That'd be more entertaining!

Well, you'd think they would come up with a hotkey to *delete* a symbol and another to *cancel* an order. Somehow, I suspect they're trying to do away with something without telling us!

So, it seems they no longer want to support hotkeys? Or at least not the order cancel functions?

Anybody using the "cancel order" hotkey? Does it delete a row if not on the same line as an order?

I'm on build 842 and 843.7 using win2k on 1 machine and winxp on the other. I now have the right java on both machines. I have 2 small issues that are bugging me. 1. Most of the time on the windows taskbar, another icon pops up next to the TWS icon. It says "New Login" and with the java cup...

Funny thing about apple is, I can remember 20+ years ago people thinking it'd go out of business. And it's been like that since then. Hot for a couple of years, icecold next and so on.

I really think IB should have some sort of "rebate" based on how much volume you do per month. Maybe keep the penny/share system but they should be more competitive for the guys paying them hundreds/thousands a day in commission. That business just might decide to walk for better deals...

I dunno about Cybertrader, but I feel the same as you about IB's treatment of traders with $5K and hardly any volume vs. say, someone with a $500K acct and 100,000 shares a day. I'm sure others like you and I must be seriously considering a move! The potential savings are starting to add up!

Agree. It seems the data vendors are either slow or cheap to implement new technology?

Anybody else trading London or German stocks? How do you see the activity or lack thereof compared to US? Same kinds of movements? More expensive to trade, yes?

Both can be profitable *if* you have or can somehow identify your "edge". The difference between now and 2000, as many here have stated, is that the "dumb" money is gone and the environment resembles more of a "Halloween" trick-or-treat event with tricks to take your money at every corner...

Well, no surprise there. At least they match your trading ability.

Samson, you suck! You keep proving you know zilch and are full of crap.

Sorry but this is total BS. Yes volatility picked up in early '87 but how could anyone insure a portfolio for 1/2 percent per quarter?! Deam on.
