This is really weird. I went to my other computer with the previous version, and it's now doing the same thing. Also, perhaps unrelated, TWS does not open maximized, it opens minimized, so that you have to right click on the task bar icon and select maximize to get it to appear on the desktop. I...

Just downloaded new version. Now, when I hit hotkey for stop or limit orders a ticket window comes up, instead of an order line like before. I don't want that, I just want an order line. Can this be corrected? Or changed, it's sucks big time.

Limit orders imho are the way to go, but not for the reasons you may suspect. To get into a position, place your limit no further from the price than you're willing to chase the stock. When you want to get out, like now!, place a limit order with the limit far away from the current price. This...

Wallace, in my opinion, SMART will suite you just fine. I daytrade and swing trade. I never use anything but SMART (for Naz, stick to direct routing for NYSE). It's easy and quick. FYI- Stock Watch Pro is also integrated for trading for level 2 with IB. IB just announced improvements to their...

Lescor, you may have just been kidding, but you really hit on something. I've taught my wife and am working on my brother to act as eyes. Sort of the ultimate scanning devices. It didn't take long to show them a few examples of the very specific patterns I look for. The assistant doesn't need to...

O'kay, I cave in. I can't resist, I absolutely must put my worthless two penneys into the argu....ah...I mean discussion. Elephants and donkeys are far more similar than different. They eat, they, shit, and they sleep. They want to tell you and me what we can and can't do. How we must live...

Check out www.egoscue.com. If you suffer from any kind of structural pain it almost always has to do with body alignment. I have had personal experience with Pete Egoscues method. My wife had pain such that she couldn't sit in a car for more than 15-30 minutes without being in extreme pain. She...

Thanks all for your help

Man I can't spell lately. Meant "axis", not "access".

Just downloaded qcharts beta version 4.2.1.9. Don't see a whole lot new, except for a feature called fib time lines. Works like fib price lines, except works on the other access. I've dabbled with elliot wave and the such but never heard of anything like this. Anyone care to explain what the...

my account management page sayes I'm ok for SSF, but never received anything about margin requirements or anyother notification, and I cannot select either the stock symbol with the "1C" suffix, or manually by symbol, future, month. The "futures" option is grayed out. Any ideas, or just a...

Please take this for what it is worth, a sincere attempt to help. I have consistantly seen many at elitetrader focusing on what they cannot control, believing that if only they could change this law, or that regulation that everything would be different. This only wastes your precious time...

Opps, not sure why I said "popular listed" stocks. Meant to say popular liquid stocks.

I asked. I was told there is no published list, but etf's would be no problem, as well as the popular listed stocks. I was even told they'd try and get something for me if I asked. Attitude is VERY different than IB.

I called MB earlier. The advert is ahead of schedule a bit they said. Per share is starting in December. Web site doesn't say anything about it yet. I was told to keep watching the web site to be updated. www.MBTrading.com

Full page advert in december active trader mag. $3 min ticket charge, 1st 500 shares 1.25 cents inclusive of ecn fees, 501-1000 1 cent, 1001-2000 0.75 cents, over 2000 0.5 cent.

this is getting weird, I just shorted MXIM yesterday, MBtrading here I come, they have a new per share pricing program and infinitely better software

Good idea, that list changes daily sometimes.

Just tried to short QLGC, no luck, this kind of crap has not happened to me before at IB.

Thanks Neil, Saved me from a bad trade too. Problem is, they have plenty of other stocks to short, so that "allowed" me to have several bad trades, LOL.
