Before we start complaining about lag, what kind of connection to the internet do we have? Is it a dial up? Anyone who has a dial up connection is living in the dark ages and has no reason to complain. Sorry.

Call your phone company for help. Call ATT or Sprint and see how long you wait on hold. It's life. It's the way it is. IB is no worse than the rest of the world. Do you really think a tech support person is going to be up on the Quicken option? I doubt it. You have to learn to figure...

I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have right clicked popular stocks like MSFT, YHOO, and JNPR. There is no level II period. I have highlited stocks and pressed Ticker looking for a level II option. It's a bug. Period. :mad: :(

I reinstalled TWS trying to get the Level II quote feature. No luck, its still not there. It does show "Show Market Depth" for listed stocks, but no Level II for naz stocks. I logged on to the web based IB, and there is Level II there. Are you guys getting Level II quotes on the stand...

I downloaded the new version of TWS. According to IB, you right click on a Nasdaq stock and choose Level II option. When I right click on a NAZ stock, there are some options like Buy, Sell, Insert Row, etc., but no Level II option. I went to a real time chat with IB support, and they told...

:D

Watched SURE all day. Quotes were way, way off. I am a little surprised this has been going on for a couple of weeks now.:eek:

First, I look at the instinet bid and offer on qqq's. If naz futures are up 1%, then the fair value of qqq should be..(lets say qqq is at 33.00)..qqq's better be up 33 cents, or 1%. Sometimes you can buy qqq's cheaper than the percentage of the increase of naz futures. Or you can sell short...

I would be sitting at my desk at 6:00 am with a large coffee. I would have one monitor with the top twenty volume nasdaq stocks and qqq'swith instinet and best ecn bids and asks. I would have one monitor with s&p and nasdaq futures. I would use that Bloomberg terminal to exploit any good or...

I watched PVN quotes on IB today. PVN was one of the top volume leaders. The quotes on Island were way, way off. Also, why does archipalego quotes never show up on IB? I have cable access, so Im assuming the quotes were wrong.:confused:

GE, the holy grail, takes a hit. Jack Welch sure left at the right time, didn't he. Be careful with that market Monday. Don't trade it unless you have to.

Listen closely to the best advice of all. Don't trade unless you have to. You are trading against a crisis. Why bother? As far as supporting the market, let Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, and Lehman Brothers support the market. They have more resources anyway. Let them do it. And I...

Thanks m c a 98... Live 365 is defintely a keeper. Hours of fine classical music of your choice with just a couple of clicks. And you don't even have to register. There is even a station of what I was orginally looking for...classical music of movie scores. But I have already have a...

I am assuming many here have fast internet access and probably the latest windows media player. I stumbled across a classical music web page featuring several free mp3 files featuring world class orchestras. the link to the page is: http://www.classicalarchives.com/ Now most of the...

Is this a comical thread or what? LOL I am the perfect example of a small guy. I have averaged 35k income the last five years. I drive an 18 year old chevrolet caprice. I have several credit cards with no balance. I have no debts, period. Whats the point? The point is this rule...

I just read under FAQ's at IB's website that IB would not be offering 4 to 1 margin. <B>Will IB provide 4-1 margining? No, IB will continue to require and enforce margin in the same manner.</B> If this is true, then thats a shame.

To me, the 4 to 1 margin makes perfect sense. It allows you to daytrade whatever is in your account...every day. For example, let's say you have $30,000 in your account. Lets pretend its a new week. Monday, you daytrade $30,000 worth of stock. How much is available to trade on Tuesday...

The passage of this rule is flat out liberalism. When the internet bubble popped last year, there were a lot of people who lost a lot of money. People who bought Yahoo, Juniper, Cien, and a host of other stocks at $200 plus, and held them all the way down got killed. Also, that guy in...

Appreciate your frankness and honesty. If there is anything I like about your trading is that you get out with small losses like a quarter or so. I think that is a good trait I NEED to do, but fail at. As a matter of fact, I was the one in the trading room who had that horrible, break all the...

I just noticed today that IB had remodeled their web page. It looks easier to navigate with less clutter. IB has also added a new tutorial. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/
