    Trading in Brazil?

    Sounds like you haven't been there. At least not lately. If you're not familiar with *ANY* place, never make the mistake of moving there and finding out after all expenses of moving/resetting your life. If you at least knew the language, I might say check it out, you *might* like it. Also, never...

    Buying Trading Systems ?

    15 trades a month=180/year Don't they charge $50/trade? Thats $9000.00/year in commission for 1 Emini. The system needs to make 20% a year just to break even! Doesn't sound like very good odds to me.

    Question about stops....

    I dunno, but just to be more certain, I'd call the traders in the pit, MM's or specialists for the securities you're trading and ask them where to put your stops. Who'd know better than them?

    Is there a reason why...

    Mine usually come back up on their own after a couple of minutes. I think it usually happens when people who are short try to cover. Before, they would screw (cross them) up the quotes at Arca and prevented people from covering in a timely fashion. Since IB introduced the option to...

    Buying Trading Systems ?

    The trouble I have with these guys (Stryker/Attain) and the rest is that they seem to "promote" whatever system is on a good streak. The systems that fail, well, those are forgotten, along with their big drawdowns. Somehow, there is never a shortage of successful systems fit just right for the...

    API's

    I agree. I was hoping to use IB not so much from the cost standpoint but the fact that I've tried using Quote.com and eSignal and find them less reliable/accurate. My programs are also more prone to other glitches when using other feeds.

    Is IB cheating you?

    Then just figure out EXACTLY what the problem/discrepancy is and take the issue up with them, not here. Unfortunately most of us do not have permission to redo (add a few zeros) IB's account statements. After receiving an answer, then let us know. They've always responded to me in a...

    Is IB cheating you?

    That may be the case, but it does NOT mean they're taking your money. It's a software issue. My P/L does not look right either but when I check the account balance (view acct info button) everything is ok down to the penny.

    Is IB cheating you?

    1. Never seen IB make a mistake. 2. Its not good judgment to publicly proclaim a discrepancy without doing some good accounting and taking the issue to them first. 3. What exactly is the problem?
