and that relates how to what the guy said? i didnt read anything in his post about wagering on IBs future in the direct access industry or anything else you brought up. all the points you mention are fantastic but how do any of them have any impact on the risk that some traders are dealing with...

Props to you Nic for having the guts to admit it.

Take a look at the Backup Broker thread. I put in a few things that can make it easier. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=3090

Hey thanks Neo, some interesting info there.....

Ive just heard that they are trying to take over the futures clearing industry and that they dont play fair. Its their way or the highway. I dont like it when to much power becomes centralized. I dont think it works out well for the little guy to often.

PMB is no more. Its just a shell. Until Refco rolls over all the accounts and the whole buyout process is complete then the NFA has restricted funds from being taken away so no one inside can steal money. From what Ive been told it is a normal formality. Youre right it doesn't affect any old PMB...

You can just use the trade box and watch the quotes in it. You will get a confirmation alert when you order is filled so there is no guessing. If youre using the status window you can just check the hot quotes tab or you can use the trade window with the status window but that may take up too...

Thanks def. I don't know what to say but i talked with the GCC at the cme and they confirmed that if your broker holds your orders outside their server until your price is hit then you are at the back of the line of orders. I don't know why I'm the only one with the problem but all i can say is...

You can disable the confirmation windows and you can also open a trade window and uncheck the close after trade box. The bid, offer, and last update to the right under the lot size. You can set the type of order you like and then click on the price and buy or sell it. You can just use that small...

def, Would you know wether IB stores limit, stop limit, or stop orders on the Globex servers or at IB until your price is struck during RTH? TIA

Yes.

Do limit, stop limit, or stop orders rest on the Globex servers or at IB? I have been told by other traders that IB holds the order until your price is hit and that because of this your order ends up being very far back in the que. If this is true, then that would explain alot. I have much less...

I was short before we dropped to the LOD. I had an stop order in that would have given me a small profit. The rep I spoke with seemed to think that since the order was at the CME then i was fine. After IB was restored i decided to close the trade because it was still open in my account window at...

The same sort of thing happened to me. I'm through with IB.

The same thing happened to me. I was short the NQ just before the drop to the LOD. I had a stop order in for protection. I went to modify the order and it would not modify or cancel. I called IB and got a busy signal 5 times before getting through. When I got through a recording told me it would...

I've heard livewire may be going out of business.

Anyone had any experience running 2 Matrox G200 8MB PCI? I have an older motherboard with shared video memory. A techie at one of the net shops claims this setup is superior to the 450. TIA.

Any one of you knowledgeable gentlemen have an opinion on acquiring used study materials. Am I askin’ for trouble? Is the material time sensitive?

Jeez, your right. I completely missed it. Thanks to both you and Julie for the reponses. Thanks for the implication JimR. I had read your previous post, but I was also hoping to get a more detailed critique from the two dissatisfied customers. In the future, I'll mention how informed I may...

You know Turok, not only do you kick dinosaur a**, but you are a very lucid and moderated individual. I like your style. I think I'll join your fanclub. ;)
