Exactly how is a total US economic collapse... Compatible with record commodity prices?

Since you are talking about pricing... No one can compete with IB's pricing for stocks... Especially when you factor in the short position interest. And IB is so profitable... That they couldn't care less about anyone. Every one of you CyberTrader guys... Can expect to be treated...

Attaching 3 displays with a $150 device... Is not exactly revolutionary. This seems like a toy for the home. In the end... How much data you can display... And at what quality... Comes down to the video card... So professionals will continue to use high end video cards.

Yes. If you are not a great scalper... Then you are not "trading"... you are investing. I'm sick and tired... Of people who stare at silly charts... Then do Grade 9 level analysis... Randomly pick stocks to invest in... And then come here and think they are "traders"... Turning this...

Thanks. Apparently... The "official" definition is... "all exchanges and market makers registered to trade in that security". But as far as I can determine... There is NO central entity creating a real-time NBBO quote. What this means in real life... For less liquid NYSE stocks (the...

Hi Rockfish. I'm not trying to prove regulatory non-compliance by IB... That is the job of their NASD examiners... And IB is always pushing the envelope on any and all regulations... So their compliance is always borderline at best... And clearly illegal at worst. You see... I don't...

Since there are strong signs of intelligent life on this thread... Here is a serious problem with IB's SMART... In terms of the Customer getting the NBBO. I have an NBBO quote from a pro grade Thomson terminal available at all times... And trade fairly ** illiquid stocks **... So the NBBO...

Here in a nutshell... Is why 90% of "traders" get taken to the cleaners. Two oh so pretty TV Talking Heads... Are shouting and contradicting Jim Rogers... A man with a 35 year track record going back to Quantum... A man who has done nothing but make money... Because he thinks outside...

Yes... I have. Unbundled is ALWAYS cheaper above 300,000 shares/month. At my 3,000,000 shares/month level... It's about $0.003/share... or 40% cheaper than bundled. I suppose that you must realize... Fees for CAN stocks are > DOUBLE that for US stocks. I cannot imagine why... You...

I would like to bring to your attention... The fact that you are mentally challenged.

I would not take you seriously. Your "systems" are worthless... Because static systems are sooooooo sub-optimal... As opposed to similar strategies executed by experienced, talented traders. In effect... You are creating a hopeless, one-sided competition: Primitive Automation vs...

I'll bet a lot of these are inside jobs. The Securities Industry is a huge magnet for Psycopaths and Scumbags. I'm not exaggerating... People scoring high on standardized Psychopathy diagnostic tests... Like the one by Dr. Robert Hare... Make fabulous, productive stockbrokers and...

I would bet the ranch that the IB feed is lagging. I have DEEP suspicions that the IB feed... Is deliberately crap... So that it's manipulation is rendered more opaque. Talking to Customer Service several times... Only served to deepen my suspicions.

This change is not significant. Based on my 3,000,000 Listed shares monthly... ** In terms of the NYSE **... Most professional trading operations... Should have experienced in the a last 6 months: (1) An increase in volume and profits. (2) Flat or slightly lower transaction costs...

Yes. Terrorism pays. And pays. And pays. Bin Laden is right. In the long run... It will easily defeat any morally bankrupt civilization... Like America or Russia.

This is why two video card setups... Are not often used by system builders. Driver conflicts. Instability. Sophisticated users can tinker with these setups... And get them to work OK... But no manufacturer or re-seller recommends this. For a trading business... Reliable, stable...

Good post. But people here seem to think in terms of the bargain basement feeds that NO PRO would use. Pros use enterprise class products from Thomson, Reuters, or Bloomberg... At several hundred $$ per terminal/month. There are zillions of these installed at every serious trading firm...

The harsh reality is that 95% of you will NEVER make any money trading... And 95% of you will never run a profitable restaurant, etc... Because that's how ** competitive ** the business world is. Students and people in their 20s just have NO IDEA how hard it is. It's not just a trading...

Living on a farm is a waste of time.
