If you compare with datek or scottrade, IB's commission of 0.005 cents per share for > 500 shares is not cheap by any standard. Let's do simple math 5000 shares of ABC share cost you $9.99 which is equivalent to 0.002 cents/share at datek. For the same number of shares, you have to pay...

when will IB will listen to the popular demand for inclusion of trailing stop in the TWS? I guess it is not a rocket science to include this feature in the existing browser. I guess more customers may be attracted to IB if they add this feature. I am not a good programmer to do it myself...

now I have a feeling what e-mini about! Spark

I am new and very curious about e-mini! What is it and how it works? What are the merits/demerits with emini? Is it a stock option or like any other ordinary stock? Looking at some trading journals in this forum, it appears that one point up or down of emini value is equivalent to a gain or loss...

does anyone knows about the web address for the first new york securities, a propitary firm? i could not access www.firstnewyorksecurities.com Probably they have new address or so. thanks

it is an open fraud....what sec was deaf for so many years?
