    WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Just what I wanted! Can't wait to try it! From the TWS Release notes page re: the 1/7/02 Build: Use Rapid Order Entry to transmit an order without a market data line Use the Rapid Order Entry panel to transmit an order without creating or using a market data line on a...

    has IB raised commissions?

    I had already sent an email and just got a reply that said that the programmers identified the problem with the commissions from Friday and are working on resolving it. "You should see a credit for the difference hit your account soon." 99

    I suspect it's a software glitch which will be taken care of. 99

    has IB raised commissions?

    I rarely look at the commissions either, but these posts prompted me to. All of my Friday trades but one were correct. The incorrect one cost an extra dollar for a partialed trade of 500 shares. It was a QQQ opening short done on Island. I had other partialed trades which were correct...

    IB Improvements (Part 2)

    Anyone else ever notice the following possible bug? I just opened the Account Information box with the intention of printing a copy of it for my end of the year records. With the box open, I selected "Print", "Account" and the report that I got from my printer was a box that was completely...

    Wow...I've never ever had a problem shorting AMZN at IB, and I do it regularly. 99

    IB Improvements (Part 2)

    Unfortunately Def, I have found 'chat' to be a huge waste of time. Every time that I've used it (and I do mean EVERY) I have come away more frustrated than before, because the person at the other end of the chat didn't seem to have the training to answer even basic questions, nor the curiousity...

    IB Improvements (Part 2)

    This morning I had a premarket problem with my account balances and I called IB to report the problem. In the past when you had such a problem, you were automatically patched through to the Swiss office and they would take care of it (or would let you know that it was at least being worked on)...

    IB improvements

    I've been asking for a way to enter quick trades without having to preset routes for quite awhile. The request seems to have fallen on deaf ears to date, but I am ever hopeful. Nice to see others making the request. :) 99

    Cybertrader

    I hated Cyber too. I was totally unimpressed by the software; the graphics I found to be poor. It was long on bells and whistles that I didn't need, but short on substance. The excecutions were fine, but the prices were high. They nickel and dime you at every turn. Here's an example...

    I much prefer the old icons as well. Why mess with a good thing? 99

    Is it me, or does IB's e-mail technical support treat everyone like an doofus?

    My experiences with the online chat have been abysmal. I have never, in all of my tries (and there have been many), found it even vaguely useful, only frustrating, and now don't even consider using it as a viable support option. They seem to be equipped to respond to only the most basic of...

    Is it me, or does IB's e-mail technical support treat everyone like an doofus?

    I often find dealing with their help support staff infuriating. I can't tell you how many times I have sent email to the help desk, and received an idiotic canned response from a support rep in return, clearly indicating that they hadn't even read or understood the question. It usually takes...

    IB charging exchange fees

    I think that the $10/mo charge is reasonable, especially since I suspect that the vast majority of us won't be paying it given the waiver with monthly commissions if you do over the modest $30/month commissions. I agree that charging IRA's the same fee might be painful for some. And if IB...

    IB Holds Checks For 17 Days?

    I made the mistake of sending a check once. Never again! :) The good news is that they are very prompt at posting wires to your account. Live and learn. 99

    IB charging exchange fees

    Def, Could you please check on the new Level II fee for nonprofessional? It's listed at $79 on the IB Communique we all received, yet the Nasdaq charges $10 for non pros. Is that just an error? Hopefully it is :) Thanks, 99

    IB improvements

    Just got the standalone version of 735g up and running. Looks very nice. One comment though. On the executions page, in the "Time" column, I'd love to have an option to list the time without the date, and also in local time. Thanks, 99

    A Datek's Deception??

    Brokerages have to make money too. A dormant sub $500 account costs more for them to keep open than to lose.
