I am also interested in knowing why a market order went through but not a limit order? And, had you not bought the 4 new contracts, what would happen with the original short 4 contracts? Did wheat open limit up with no chance of buying back at all in the first place?

what about russell 2000? thanks again

If QQQQ is the ETF tracking Nasdaq index, what is the ETF tracking the SPX and the Russell 2000? Thanks

I assume some of the experienced options trader here trade through IB? Or, maybe, they are with other brokers, I don't know. But for those with IB, how do you feel about maintaining an account with a broker belonging to a group who makes about 18% of the options market? I mean, if you have a...

Hi PTF, Good thread. Just thought that you made it seem much easier than it actually is because most of your trades happen to catch the tops and bottoms exactly, if not the first try, then the second. It's when you are caught in a "silent" trend, you have to be careful. But, you must have...

On second thought, isn't the verification process itself a threat to security? The questions have to be quite specific other than common things like name, address, account number etc, yet have to be simple enough that the real account holder should know?

Ok Thx.

What happen if I lost the security device? How do I identify myself with IB? How do they make sure its me calling? And how long does it take for me to be able to log into my account to trade, after they identified me? I imagine this can be quite tense moment if it happens, especially if one...

I am from Thailand. Am I entitled to the $500k protection offerred by US government? Does the 500k protection includes traders who trade futures and options but not stocks?? And, is it quite safe to have 100k with Interactive Brokers? Thanks for any replies.

Yep, that's what I got. Can someone explain how it works? How does IB know that the number generated is the correct number required? Does that mean the code generated is preinstalled/fixed previously for each account? I have no idea how these things work.

Do I just press the only button to "on" it? Do I press it everytime I need to log in? I read from the IB website there there is even a PIN number for this device but I can't see how I can key in the PIN,(if any) cause there is only one button on the device.

Hi, Just received my device which is blue color oval shape about 1'' X 2". (is this the same for everyone?)There is only one small button. Really appreciate if someone could tell me what to do from here. I have not received any emails saying they have sent the device. There is an accompanying...

How easily are password-capturing Trojans planted into computers? Do we get them easily through surfing the web? Does the free version of Zone Alarm prevent the trojan from working? Any idea how many % of online brokerage accounts are compromised? Will the following way of keying in your...

Would like to know too. Thanks

Hi gg12, In your experience, what kind of systems do you find more consistent and profitable? is it those which go with the trend like entering after 10 points and going for another 10 points or those that fade the move like fading a 20 point move going for 12.5 points in your previous post...

Do you mean that all IB accounts now have the special device?

I don;t understand what you mean by "When the RSA gadget is extended to cover normal logins, this form of attack would be better protected against".

Very good points.

Is the hardware easy to instal and use? Do you have answer to my earlier question? Thank you.

Hi, This is just an assumption. If someone has access to my IB trading password, can he get the funds out of my account? I understand IB only withdraw funds back into the account from which funds were sent. Does this help the security? Thanks
