Here's the story: We will REQUIRE an affirmative action of some kind. Either: (1) subscribe to one of our security systems (there will be 3 variants) (2) select opt-out. If the client opts out, the burden and risk of any compromise to your account, including but not limited to...

Passwords are sent encrypted. Sniffing would not help unless there is some serious cryptographic application studying the data stream. The issue is when you use someone else's network, they have the ability to control the middle, intercept and replicate an SSL session. It is called a...

The device stays with you. Yes you have to activate it to get or read the code but then you enter this into the regular TWS login screen. Think of the device as a 1-time password generator. If you have some process that automatically logs into TWS running on a remote PC such that you never...

There is a solution ready for deployment for users deploying a CTCI or API trading solution involving automated login. The details will not be communicated in a public forum. This is a relatively small client population so it isnt where we started.

The rest of the world takes 200'000 USD and DIVIDES it by the 6.9 SEK/USD rate. That comes to something under 30K USD. You take 200'000 and MULTIPLY it by 6.9 and calculate 1.38 million. Your economic framework seems flawed, or your info is poorly verified such that you just passed on flawed data.

Ruble is still not a deliverable currency outside of large size transactions amongst banks. It is only available as an NDF (non-deliverable forward). Same goes for Brazil (although this is starting to change), Korea, China.

Click on FX-trader to get the screen. Or just enter as for a stock on a regular screen (enter the denominator currency first, then select the payment, or numerator, currency). If you are trading more than 25K USD, you should use IDEALPRO, not IDEAL. I-PRO is an interbank quality market. IDEAL...

If you hold positions, you need to consider the carrying charge. If you short term trade, unbundled is often cheaper, but you should look at the details contract by contract. It was originally designed for traders doing large volumes in a few contracts where they are willing to work out the...

We have had such miserable experiences with the tax/regulatory complexity of US IRA accounts that adding the Canadian or other country equivalents has not made anyone excited. In fact, we wince. I know it may seem short sighted but I estimate an tax deferred account model requires 5-10X as much...

We will introduce an unbundled model for Canadian stocks sometime in the next few months. That will address your situation since the costs for ECN liquidity taking will be partitionable. The problem we had with the bundled model on cheap stocks is that the 20bps cap was less than the ECN...

This has nothing to do with tightness of the markets. The stop was triggered during a freefall from 1.1767 to 1.1721 resulting from economic news. The movement happened in a split second. the trigger-to-execution difference reflects the speed of the pro market.

NZD, ISL, and MXN are currently being set up. I cannot give you a date.

We will be releasing some new order routing algorithms in the next few days intended to better integrate the small order facility (IDEAL) and the main trading platform (IDEALPRO). Large Order Routing Protection: orders submitted for more than the minimum order size (currently ~25K USD) will be...

The increase in the cap only affects very cheap stocks. The fact is that the commission pricing until November had loopholes that were exploited by people such that the penny stock business was a notably poor business line. Example: Trader places liquidity adding order with Broker X (a broker...

Answers to the last dozen posts: When:Security Device implementation for TWS and other trading interfaces (Web Trader, etc) will begin very soon, perhaps even next week. Advisors: only the F account can trade so the SD needs to only protect the master account for trading purposes. For...

The message will go away today. The issue is a timing issue wherein our security gateway doesnt properly differentiate between a re-connect and a new connect. It is part of a security system enhancement. If you see the IP as coming from somewhere other than your own (and this means the...

Yes to both. 17:00 is the break for settlement day determination so whatever position one has at 17:00 will be the settled position 2 business days later. One has to be a little careful to understand settlement date counting (see the holiday calendar on the web site under the Help menu point...

Hours of availability are on the website. During these hours, market access (and data) should be continuous.

We had a major release of the FX-trader interface along with FX pnls, avg cost features, automated cleanup of small balances < $3, commissions in base currency, and few more points last November. We have a few more items still to do but we had to table them for a few weeks. We are now back on...
