Fleance: 600 trades in 1 month. Seems you are a very active trader indeed. A lot of f IB's JTWS users have been requesting the features you mentioned in your post. In fact we have been doing this for months. Seems as if IB's programming department doesnt really grasp the concept of interface...

Def: Will IB implement TT's X_Trader Platform or interface? I think is IB could use such an interface similar to X_Trader and keep 1$ commissions, it will be a great leap forward for IB. We have told IB thousands times by email to put up a drop down box for choosing execution routes instead...

I remember the day when [IB]Kristian announced us (traders that are present at Othernet's #Interactivebrokers IRC Chatroom) that INCA's speed has been upgraded. I immediately tested INCA's "go live" speed by placing an order on INCA to bid a stock, it took around 5-6 seconds to "go live". As...

"Wouldn't it be nice to be able to simply enter the stock symbol in a dropdown box and have the quote screen appear with all the routing choices, would save time and create more trading opportunities. " This is what IB should do with Java TWS, as every time I have to choose a different route...

Archangel: Your Qfeed server list worked for me on friday, all L2 quotes worked and charts performed well too, thanks for the list Bouncer: Thanks for the recommended site, will take a look at it and consider it when Qcharts gets worse. hsanson

I recently subscribed to Qchart's Realtime Nasdaq Level 2 feed, but after using it for 2 days I see that Qchart's Level 2 is very inconsistent and there are a lot of stuck quotes and market makers on the inside market. If anyone in this forum is having similar Level 2 datafeed problems with...

Archangel, can you check RavenQuote to see if it is still offering the 2 week trial ? ? ? I haven't be able to find that 2 week trial hsanson

Take a look at ISLD historical quarterly volume on www.isld.com, it is increasing exponentially with every quarter that passes. This is a sign that individual investeors/traders are preferring ISLD every day more & more. So let us all short Market Makers ! hsanson

I use ISLD most of the time, but when ISLD is very illiquid or when ISLD is down, I use ARCA, I have very good results with both ECNs. Especially when a stock is not ISLD liquid for executions, I use ARCA because of its preferencing algorithms. ARCA can hit INCA, ISLD, ARCA and other ECNs using...

I just ordered Van Tharp's new book: "Financial Freedom Through Daytrading" and I would like to hear some comments/reviews from people that have already read it. Will this book be like the others that focuses on "scalp" strategies that are way too subjective and difficult to master and trade ? ...

The problem with IB's "Best Execution" is that you never know where it routes your order. Also, if an execution route is down and Best Execution sends your order there, your order will hang and get stuck. If this happens in a fast market going against you, it can hurt you tremendously. Also...

We still have a lot to see how Freetradez will perform when it starts to operate. A lot of things could happen. Order routing problems, software problems, technical support problems, etc, etc I give it 6months to 1 year for it to go efficient, but by the time daytrading for free is very...

It's True, IB's new Java TWS is new and must change a lot in order to replace old TWS. But it is up to IB to design an interface that can "at least" be half of other current industry standard interfaces like RT3 and CyberX. IB must stop reinventing the wheel and copy the good features of other...

As for Java TWS, today I chatted with some trading partners who were fortunate to be the chosen ones by letter "A" and they told me they used it for today and that on monday they will revert back to the OLD TWS. I hope Def or any other Interactive Broker representative is reading this post as I...

Can someone review Rapid Jet Trading http://www.rjt.com ? ? They have browser based execution ala DATEK and also has a JAVA Direct access platform that offers lightning fast executions at 5$+1cent/share. Maybe it can be a replacement broker for Tradescape or Interactivebrokers browser here...

mjt: I was in the #interactivebrokers Chatroom on Othernet and traders there were also complaining about problems placing orders and no IB reps answering phones. Seems they had a major system problem on the quotes/order servers. My TWS could place limit orders on ISLD and ARCA outside the...

I just cant use the Trade Prospector service, 1st: cant understand it, 2nd: support/resistance seems taboo for me. Those are patterns that are 50/50% and its better to flip a coin than to keep watching when a stock will reach support or resistance. I feel that participants in this forum...

def: The News posted on IB website about new JAVA TWS being released on Dec 1st 2000 is FALSE. I chatted with [IB]Shadow(IB representative that is present in our chat channel) today and he said it wont be ready by that time and what will be available only is the lower commission structure of...

Today I used IB's TWS to place an Odd Lot order (1 share) to buy on ARCA BOOK out of the market. ARCA accepted it. Is ARCA supposed to accept odd lot or less than 100 shares orders in its book ? ? ? Can some of you do it with another trading platform, maybe IB's Platform is weird and letting me...

Thanks for possible explanations about "my stay in pink" orders in IB's TWS, but to clarify things, all my cancels were done after my orders turned green. Also, I noticed that when I tried to use "Best Execution" for AMEX/NYSE stocks using odd lots, the TWS got stuck in pink for the whole day...
