IB provides you an electronic summarized 1099 (what they report to the IRS) and also a year-end electronic statement for your records with both the buys and sells. I'm not crazy about the format of the latter but its considerably better than what other brokers provide. Additionally, they provide...

Thanks very much for your great comments. It looks like QT makes a nice complement to IB's TWS. Too bad IB doesn't make it a part of TWS.

Just downloaded the Quotetracker and had some questions re the link between IB and Quotetracker. Is it faster /easier to trade from within IB and toggle to Quotetracker for charts, L2, etc. or trade and do everything from within Quotetracker ? Is there a way to toggle back and forth...

I use IB and am very satisfied with the fast executions and very low cost. As I increase size, however, I am curious to find out what other brokers are there that charge a flat fee with the execution speed of IB.

Thanks for all the excellent comments and recommendations. I'll give Mailwasher a try. Hopefully I won't have to do the "wash" on a daily basis.

I use hotmail and even with the highest level filters turned on, it seems I get 100-200 junk messages a day. Is there anyway to stop this nonsense ?? Thanks.

I also have used both. While IB does not have the functionality of Tradestation, IB's fast executions and low commission structure make it hard to beat.

A whopping $9.95/mo for realtime. Slightly behing Bloomberg et al but at a considerably lower price.

If the bid is 101 and you put in a trailing stop at 10, your order will become a market order at a bid of 91. Obviously, if the the bid price goes up, so does your trailing stop. Have used the trailing stops on IB quite a bit and they seem to work well. Lets me get away from the computer...

I use ProphetFinance for a real time feed and it does not have an analytic for range. At one time I had an account with Dreyfus and they had closing prices (including high,low open, and close) on 7,000 or so stocks each day that could be downloaded into an Excel spreadsheet. Don't know if there...

I sent an e-mail to daytradingstocks.com and asked them when do they update their daily data. Their response was "by 9pm EST" for that day. I've checked for the past three days and have found that NOT to be the case. It looks like the data is not being updated until the following day after the...

I recently asked if anyone knew of any free sites that gave daily intraday ranges on stocks (just the top ones by exchange). Was directed to the following site http://www.daytradingstocks.com/dailynyselist.html. At first it appeared to be just want I was looking for but upon closer...

Ari, Thanks very much. Looks like the info I was looking for.

Some months back I ran across a free site that each day listed (by exchange) the stocks with the greatest intraday range. Thought I bookmarked it but can't seem to find it. Anyone know of the site or one that provides this info ? Thanks.

See http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/finder/predefstocks.aspx. Some of the others just list stocks that make 52 week highs intraday not necessarily their close price.

I presently subscribe to briefing.com. While their "In Play" and "upgrades and downgrades" in real time are somtimes OK, more often than not they seem to be about 30-45 minutes after the stock has already responded to the news. Is there any service that provides more timely news alerts. Does...

Had the same problem using the demo. I called IB and they assured me the production system was much better. They were right. Have not had any problems with the production system since I began using it. Too bad the demo doesn't reflect the same functionality or execution speed of the...

See http://dynamic.nasdaq.com/asp/PMI.asp?col=3&dir=U for pre-market NASDAQ gappers.

MrMarket, Looked at stockpoint.com. Didn't see any screening available. Where can I do a screen of IBD ratings ?? Thanks.

I find your notes nice reading but what about your P&L ? Is your analyses borne out in consistent profits ? If so, can you share them with us ?
