Wouldn't it be fun if you could send an instant text message to the specialist every time he screws you? You could say "hey you little bastard! I'm gonna come down there and shove your book up your $#@$#!!!" Just a fun idea.

Happens all the time in TWS that a cancelled order hangs, regardless of order type.

OUCH! That Best routing can kill you if you don't watch it while trading volatile stocks. I've gotten killed several times on Naz scalps on things like NVDA and QCOM (I no longer trade those beasts) b/c Best sent an order to ssoes, only to have some fuckin' MM stall the order. After the...

I'm logged in at home with the standalone TWS, but now at work I can't get in from the internet TWS - if you're logged in one place, does IB prevent you from logging in from elsewhere? When I try to log in here, all I get is the purple outline screen that normally comes when you get disconnected.

well...aren't you going to tell us what happened to the guy???

I just don't see the point in trading odd lots, unless you happen to trade BRK.

I think they warped SL4 back up...unfortunately, it looks like we will be without his services for some time to come. Luckily, however, there is still pristine.com. Somehow, they have managed to avoid recruitment by superior beings.

WITTY!!!

Notice all the ads lately? Hmm...could it be that yet another soul has learned that it is more profitable to sell advice than trade?

Hmm...gee...if these guys were such market wizards, don't you think they'd spend all their time trading (b/c they are so so so good at it) instead of trying to sell their "canned expertise"? These guys (and frankly, I don't have any experience with them other than reading one of their books -...

I have a theory that the more time you spend analyzing people who post here, the more lonely and depraved you are. If you had a hobby, or even a dog, you might not have so much time to analyze other such antisocial individuals. -schizo PHreak PS - if you had one, a "life," that is...

Please no odd lots. Ever. Since it is your first day with IB, why not pick one thing and do 100 at a time. Doing odd lots as a trader is like being a professional gambler and playing slots b/c you can't afford the tables. Amateur. 'nuff said

Anyone out there know if Datek's "quotes and trades" page can be accessed via a Palm VII (using palm.net) ? I would like to be able to get quotes in RT on my Palm VII (placing trades from it is less important but would still be even better than just quotes), so if anyone gets quotes off of their...

It's definitely not your satellite - the QFeed is complete shit. You'd have to look far and wide for a more unreliable datafeed (I've used it for stocks and the minis) --- or a more poorly run company. I gave up after one month. Their customer service is terrible, the phone reps have no idea...

Does anyone have any insight into why my laptop TFT is flickering? It seems to be a hardware problem, as it isn't affected by changing hardware settings. Sometimes it flickers constantly, sometimes not at all. Thanks

As soon as specialists stop trying to prevent traders/investors from earning the spread, there will be less animosity towards them. This includes the 2 minute rule. I think it's fine for them to take the spread on market orders from people who either don't care about the spread or are more...
