ktm, I am not necessarily trying to protect def or IB, they don't need that and i would be surprised if def or IB advised on how to 'get around' the rules. I agree, the brokers would all 'turn their heads' if they could...but they can't. But, hypothetically, if you or anyone finds a flaw...

ktm, IMHO, if you find a way around it, consider yourself lucky and keep it to yourself. If there were to be a loophole in IB's implementation of the new rule, discussing it on this (or any) board would surely lead to steps taken to close it. Likewise, def has been truly helpful to us...

tc, Where did you get your information? Will IB impose the new rule starting Aug 28 for those who only trade Nasdaq?

How does one elect MTM? Is there a form for this? Is it too late to choose MTM for 2001 taxes? How does the self-employment tax apply to traders who use MTM and is this any different than if MTM is not chosen? Thanks in advance...

nelcat9, i used to be with datek and their system would not allow you to enter an order (to short) unless there was an uptick. so i would anxiously wait for an uptick on Streamer (i believe that was datek's definition of an uptick) but i am at IB now. i am not 100% certain on this, but i...

i had a bad experience with ATI radeon dual head i returned it and tried another - it was worse..the ATI marketing is good - i was convinced that it was a perfect card, the reality was much different

i bought mine from matrox.com , there are also links there to places like cdw et. al.

regarding SuperSOES.. i followed a link to IB (from another thread) and copied this paragraph: "Please note that for Nasdaq stocks that are not National Market System securities (e.g., Nasdaq Small Cap stocks), NASDAQ's current SOES and Selectnet will remain in operation according to the...

whenever i update my DAT files i am given positive, reassuring confirmations, ie 'patches down loaded...patches installed' etc., it never says 'hey man, you better check your scan engine' the point is, after i follow Mcafee's update instructions i feel that i am protected, and i should be...

gerry, i have been using IB's BEST_ECN exclusively and it works pretty well, i short mostly but i never even pay attention to upticks i just read on another thread here at ET that some traders are experiencing slight delays with BEST_ECN orders going live, and that they do not have that...

white, is Sircam 32 a virus? if so, that does not reflect well on Mcafee... how did you determine the cause of your problem if McAfee didn't catch it and your OS was wiped out? did you have to do a clean re-install of your OS? regarding my experience with McAfee's VirusScan, i...

so Wire... sounds like you are capable of running six monitors right now, is that correct? if so, where do you put them ? and you are thinking of adding 2 more dual head cards -would that be a total of 10 monitors? maybe my math is wrong? (i didn't use the calculator on this one so i...

Z so it wasn't just me!!! i have found neither cause nor solution... i called one of my ISP's and asked if they still have my emails somewhere in back-up but they did not (only had a few days worth) maybe your emails are still at your ISP, i don't know...

assuming that there is a way to locate large block trades, either by just watching T&S or maybe some better way... ...how do you determine whether those trades indicate that an institution is entering or exiting a position? a large player could be creating momentum if entering, or possibly...

I don't really rely on IB quotes...maybe there could be a way i can turn them off?...others will choose not to In the column where you enter ticker symbols, it would be convenient to simply click and pop-up a list box with all of YOUR symbols listed alphabetically. Choose a symbol from that...

OK, i get it now about the 'stay on top'... i am playing around with several windows on my 17" and suddenly realize that it would be nice to work in other windows without losing the IB trade screen I think there should be easy ways to enable/disable this feature: one, there could be a...

Quicken Quotes Live (QQL) is the only feed I have used (except for a trial of PCQuote which seemed to be OK) QQL's 'deluxe' package is only @ $66 and includes unlimited symbols, L2, T&S, etc, plus a lot of bells'n'whistles I never use like chart drawing QQL shows pre/post market activity...

Wire, sounds like yours is operating differently than mine with my G450 (AGP), in order to maximize across both monitors i must hold the shift key while clicking the maximize button if i simply click the maximize button alone it maximizes to whichever monitor the window is in at the...

regarding keeping the main IB window on top always... this would not be good for traders (like me!) who have other programs running on the same computer as IB and on the same monitor true, when entering/exiting a position, the IB main screen is the most important thing in the world but...

I have the Matrox G450 (AGP) on a W2K sys. i am happy with it for the price, and it will do 1152x864 which i like on my 19's. (actually i guess it is 2304x864) and with the 450 you can maximize either to one monitor or across both. but there are a couple little quirks: one is that there...
