ddefina - i missed your question before: yes i was buying to cover a short, but now i am not sure the stop failed, i may have misunderstood the algorithm. i agree that it is awkward to have to guess at what the spread might be... on another issue - from the IB user manual: "For US markets...

ddefina, as an experienced IB stop user maybe you can answer this: in my example above does the trade activation require two bids at $19.55 SIMULTANEOUSLY? because that would explain why it did not work as I expected - i saw two bids at $19.55 but lower bids occurred in between i also...

I know this topic has been done to the hilt. But past threads on this topic have been confused by assertions that IB stops had been fixed. Until today I have avoided IB stops because of uncertainty that the problem had indeed been solved. I tried my first IB stop orders today, with small...

DeeMan, Thanks so much for the detailed reply. Your posts (this one and others) have been very illuminating for us 'outsiders'. While your explanation of how anaylst info is disseminated makes me realize that there really is no way for me to get the timely info I desire, at least now I can...

nothing unusual here (so far), what about you ? was there a reason you are asking?

I would like to report that Quicken Quotes Live's support/development team has fixed the historical data bug mentioned earlier in this thread. QQL v 3.02 contains this fix in addition to fixes for two minor bugs. It is nice to see that the company considered fixing this problem a high enough...

If there (hypothetically) were to be prohibitions on short selling they would not stop at <25K traders...the rhetoric (and fear) is based around well funded terrorist groups shorting...so the way to (hypothetically) prevent this would be to prohibit INDEPENDENT traders from short selling while...

What ever happened to Harvey Houtkin? Didn't he demonstrate that it is possible to take on the Wall Street establishment and win?

jskeldon, interesting about no income tax in TX and FL, do you know of any other states without income tax? what about TN? i live in IN which has 3 1/2% tax but without the deductions and exemptions found in Fed income tax

by tom_p : "I see the chances of additional restrictions to shorting (apart from the uptick rule) as being very real in the near future, and these could be introduced under the pretext of our financial fight against international terrorism." I agree totally and this whole idea really has me...

www.viwes.com/invest/shorts/ "it seems there's always an equal buyer and seller for every transaction (even if the stock is already covered) so there's no supply/demand pressures" Correct, if the shorted (sold) stock has been covered (bought back) the transaction is complete and there is...
