GTS - according to Emigrant's website it is still 5%. As you may know from the Emigrant Direct message sent by way of mail (as well as the 10-digit access code for the restructured site), it will be 5.15% as of July 28, 2006.

I have found this site quite useful when looking for the best rates available, as well as the pros & cons posted by potential and existing customers on their message boards: http://bestcashcow.com/index.html

Traderstatus, or to anyone who may know: Is it true that a trader does not need to make any type of MTM election in order to receive the more favorable 60/40 long term/short term capital gains treatment for Futures? I was under the impression that the favorable tax treatment for commodities...

I was under the impression that MB paid slightly more than 1% APR on cash balances. Could you please point me to where on the site it says 3.2%? TIA

Very unprofessional, and probably untrustworthy - I wouldn't recommend them to anyone I cared about. I have attempted to contact them courteously through e-mail at least four times regarding extremely inaccurate trade reporting on a few of the systems that I know the logic of; I provided ten...

Bowgett, I think at least part of it can be attributed to MF distribution as a result of the SPX rebalancing.

For those interested, TASR is coiling. As of my writing, the 11:30 bar has a range of .02.

Mike and to anyone else: - How much slippage do you encounter generally when entering and being stopped out? I was wondering how much it impacts overall performance. - Do you position size each trade to include slippage and/or commissions? TIA

Stockman007 - is there anything that you have learned from it to help you to become a better trader individually that you can share with us? For example, would you be able to trade more successfully if you were to leave the service; if so, in what way? I am trying to understand beyond the...

I do 90% of my trades at the open. Most of my activity is from 9:30-9:50. If I am still holding a potion I will wait it out until 11:30. F-Trader - is the majority of your trading still accomplished by way of position/swing trading? Could you share some of the methods that you have...

StrategyRunner - for real, live accounts using SR Professional, is there a platform fee + a per RT fee, or is there just a per RT fee on trades placed? TIA

Sidinuk - the data that I am looking at for ER2 on 7/22, shows a breach of the days low at 12:57 which would have generated a SS. Your site displays a long trade being taken at 675. Could you double check that trade? TIA

Can someone from IB clarify this potential option; is it possible to bypass paying the $10 monthly fee if a customer elects to not subscribe to, or use, any market data and subsequentially generates no commissions? This would be a nice fit for actual investors, traders wanting to walk away...

-OT- IBsoft - is it possible to display the Opening prices in the TWS layout? I made what I thought was a good effort in trying to do so but to no avail. TIA

Yes, QT is registered.

Jerry - for some reason I am still getting only two days of backfill on EMD and HKFE (I just realised this). I don't know if there are other symbols with the same issue or not. I wasn't sure if you were aware of this.

Jerry - everything is working great now with the backfill. Many thanks to you and your team for a fantastic product and CS.

It's hardly a problem at all and it is just temporary, it has not impacted my trading ability or intraday quotes. I would highly recommend QT to anyone.

I can add (after the installation) any Nasdaq listed stock with full 5 day backfill. I already had HKFE in my streaming portfolio prior to the installation which does not backfill. I added various ones to my portfolio such as CAH, BA and T after the installation - which are not...
