Well, I have used FT, BT, AT, and NT with the IB feed on futures contracts of various stripes. Honestly, I can't say I have seen much of an issue. Occassionally, I may lose or gain -- yes that is possible too -- a tick. However, the vast majority of the time things trade out at the price I set...

The License is computer specific. You'd probably have to talk with the developer to find out if he is willing to allow a secondary market to develop first. Try the discussion board at www.wealth-lab.com with your question or email them at support@wealth-lab.com

Looks to me like she opened up over $9k of exposure (20 contracts x $5 spread -$.40 credit) for a potential return of $800 on a stock known for big moves....all it takes is one gap down and kaboom... I don't see this trade as being for the faint of heart.

I think we will see commissions become more competitive Q1 of next year. Moving about until then seems pointless (imo).

QCharts, Esignal, any ASCII data provider (TickData) etc...

HI, I use IB and Bracket Trader a bit. I've found that IB is generally very good about getting trades out at the "stop limit" price. However, I have been traded through a couple of times and been stuck for it. Trying to click over to the TWS screen and redo an exit in a fast moving market is...

If I follow what has been said... a) MOC imbalances cannot be fully gamed except by placing a MOC order. A sell at market order placed at the end of the day will not necessarily be near the actual closing price -- which can only be nailed with a MOC order. It would be interesting to see...

Hi, Since I don't trade/know much about NYSE stocks much I have to ask. What would be the problem with closing the position at market -- assuming there is enough headroom on the trade -- at 3:59 and change. Is there really that big a change on the closing 30 ticks or so? Also, if the...

This was news to me -- others may have posted it already. I guess ISLD really is caving... Sucks. ---------------------------------------- Instinet CEO Ed Nicoll Provides Update on Island Integration and ETF Strategy Instinet and Island should be able to integrate their ECN...

Volcker, I have been testing Bracket Trader (quite good at what it does) and now Dynaorder has a module that links WLD and IB. So, I will write something up for comment on the website in a day or two as I get a better feel for these products. I have to say that the daytrader battle is - to...

Any ideas what happened to MSFT in the last 5 mins?

It seems to me that they are giving in -- joining the crowd -- and using the slower NMS. How can we front run the other exchanges if they do this kind of stuff? :D I wonder if this is a sign for ISLD as well?

Hi, I use WLD/IB to manage swing trades but it's not there yet for intraday monitoring of a basket of stocks. I understand -- but haven't tried -- Tradestation can do this in realtime. Anyone care to comment on it's capabilites, cost/benefit, etc...? Also, does anyone know of any...
