I hope you realize that readers may be making a decision based on your claim. Could you please provide the proof?

The market data delivery system is designed to skip certain updates in order to be able to keep up with fast moving markets even on low bandwidth connections. It refreshes up to 5 times a second. I believe it is sutiable for scalping, probably even more so than the other services out there...

They do have relation to underlying and they do have delta (although I am not sure your platform displays correct values). The underlying of these options is the VIX future, not the VIX index.

Bitstream, Just in case you missed my earlier post: Can you post your top 3 wishes, which you believe other customers are also dying to have? Thanks.

We are not talking about the same thing. I originally wrote: "Anyway, we will continue to carefully listen to our customers and evaluate their suggestions. As to whether such dialog remains here ...". The dialog I was referring to pertains to the features wish-lists and suggestions of that...

Can you post your top 3 wishes, which you believe other customers are also dying to have?

Well said. You have both the maturity and intelligence to realize this. You also have sufficient patience and respect to the forum to think through what you want to say and then make a succinct and understandable post. Great many posters here are different. They don't use the spell-check or...

We have implemented quite a list of improvements based on customers' feedback. Some requests are more easily addressed than others; perhaps that is the reason why what you believe to be "useful ideas" did not get implemented while what you believe to "useless and dangerous" features did...

Kicking, You are not required to use the latest releases. All you need to do is to install a stand-alone version and then how frequently you update is mostly your choice. I only say mostly because roughly once a year you can expect us to force an upgrade.

Offering all order types that the ECNs offer is not entirely practical for the following reasons: - only a fraction of users show interest in them - the ECNs and exchanges are (at least nowadays) in the process of merging; when such merges are completed, a previously existing ECN functionality...

It is for the upcoming ISE stock trading.

1) Our login is secure. The password is never transmitted between the TWS and the backend servers. If you check the SSL checkbox, it will result in the whole order and execution traffic between the two points being encrypted by SSL. 2) Java is not slow. It was a few years ago, but it is...

I got it, thanks. I'll get back to you most likely tomorrow.

Please send an email to help@interactivebrokers.com with your account number and the order-ids you experienced problems with. You need to include "mg101" in the subject line, that way the email gets routed to me. Thanks.

$7 per trade is 1,400 shares at $0.005 per share. Are your trade sizes larger than that? If you trade by providing liquidity (i.e. you are not hitting the market) you can save on commissions by switching to the unbundled pricing. Lastly, I find the per-trade pricing somewhat strange given...

Because we have limited resources and can't work on everything at the same time. I don't think there is anything arrogant about admitting that and acknowledging it in our agenda. Although sometimes we try, we can't be everything to everyone. Besides, I did mention in my response that we are...

The web-trader is not meant to be used a primary means for accessing the IB offering. Hence, we don't envision it to contain all the functionality the TWS has. We imagined that it would be used for an occasional trade: - when the trader has no access to a computer w/ TWS, or - when the TWS...

I don't have the promised ETA. The project is more complicated that initially thought (as is often the case) and it does not have the highest priority. If you don't hear from me in two weeks, would you please ping me? Thank you.

Understood. I will get the ETA today.

We had decided to work on this the first time you posted it. (We have the data saved, we just don't currently expose it). But even if we hadn't, why are you repeating your post?
