Jimc, Are you using IB charts? the reason for my question is planning to use IB Data for Sierra Charts and using IB API to automate system. I am working on trying to develop a scanning system of various equities and once have the established results to my parameters, refining the choices as to...

Could your problem be using IB with the rev at 944 vs the latest. My problem was started when I had to revert back to IB, although my issues was Ninja 7 stability or lack off. After multiple discussions with IB (they don't support 944) and Ninja was blaming the IB feed. Ninja was crashing...

I used to listen to him, it was the best way to have music and some background noise while trading. I even tried his free two week tryout and amazed that he is still in business. He claims how busy he works analyzing the market and if you listen long enough he is just a one trick pony...

I know little of Apple products, but I don't know of anyone that trades with one screen. Personally, I have 4 screens dedicated to one computer, can the same be done reasonably with a Mac?

Look when I traded futures, believe me I understand working with all contingencies. But in this situation, this was more like purchase and forget, especially SDRL, SDR, TPRL, and off course had only been monitoring SFY which started today at 13%+, that is the reason I looked at the account...

Unfortunately, I agree with you, everything was within seconds. I think that somehow it activated cancel all positions, but it seems so out of place to have one command to wipe everything out? Now at times I do tend to wake up the system by clicking the mouse although what are the chances that...

The log determined it was placed at 10:23 some positions 200shs had two independent transactions for each symbols at .02 cents difference in price. What I am waiting for is some sort of explanation. I mentioned IB, since I have accounts with them and as indicated you have multiple steps to...

I am awaiting word from the brokerage, normally you sign your life away when you do agree to their T & C's , do I take their word for it not being a computer glitch? there is very little to say, I don't believe the system was hacked. Normally you have a Position with acct number, you can...

No, this is my wife's IRA, I am awaiting the brokerage review

This is the first time I have ever experienced a situation where in a small account, all of the positions where closed liquidated as of 10:23 AM yesterday 5/5/2014. I am awaiting word from the brokerage as what remedy since one stock is up 13% today, and two additional stocks have div interest...

Actually I read three novels per week on the tablet. Unfortunately, cannot just read in front of the computer, tend to work out on stationary bike one hour prior to market, and one hour after market. Have surfed the web thru the usual's , Zero Edge, Business Insider, Mish, Alpha, and the rest...

Can anyone help? spending most of the day in front of 5 screens, and need diversion when market is slow. I stopped trading ES, no need at my age for additional brain damage, therefore no need to stay on top of positions on one minute charts. All I want is perhaps a chat group, or radio show...

I wish I could help you but I am using MB strictly for real time charting. I used to use Ensign, Ninja, but now utilizing MB saving $600+ per year. Unfortunately IB has never had their act together for charting, hence MB. As an FYI the following is applicable: You can use Chat support -...

SMILE This may help: Online Generation of 2012 IRS Form 8949 for just $10.00 http://form8949.com/index.html Thank you, after speaking to TurboTax and India for one hour, getting absolutely nowhere, and off course talking to IB and no one had a clue about their TXT files...

Many years ago, the perfect storm for me, lost job (high tech) systems sales, child on the way, plus multiple K-1 (ltd partnerships). I paid a CPA a lot of money and left as dumb as I walked in and lighter by $500. Since needed to find work, anything, ended up with classes for H&R block...

Problem is in Turbo Tax you need to enter information via 8949 to get to 8949 you need to do following steps, Schedule D : single click > on Cap Gains Speed Entry worksheet> which will port to Worksheet of 8949. In the past there was an easy method to transport all of your stock info to the...

IB pros - 1) no money markets, no sweep accounts, therefore eliminated T+3, so if you have $XX in your account (IRA cash acct or brokerage margin) you can trade all of it on Monday AM. sell Monday PM, and you dont have to wait till Thursday (trade date + 3 days to settle) 2) Pricing varies...

Indicated to MB, to at least warn you of the problem, via 1) email, 2) notification when you call (as does IB), instead you are awaiting technical help, in some cases at 15-20 minutes, wait. Dont leave a message, than they will never get back to you. Overall , I am reasonably satisfied with...

That isnt the problem to generate, its the inputing of information. I ended up using Dragon (speech recognition software) to at least add dates instead of constant mm/dd/yyyy and 200 shrs of XYZ, than price, its tedious if you have 10 pages of purchases and 10 pages of sales. MB trading...

It has been widely suggested for the past two years that the govt. will probably start looking at the $14 trillion dollars in 401K's and IRA's. Probable outcome will be annuitizing this money, converting to new US Govt. Bonds paying 4% per year. It has alway's been suggested by financial...
