rfoulk, try taking the time to understand def's posts regarding inquires on the Best-ECN documentation. Specifically def's said, "you have come across what is called a soft/stealth release which basically means that no announcement has been made. I think they are playing around with...

IB has had this application version for some time now. But what is interesting about your post is the link you mention also has the upgrade release of 3/20/01. Thanks.

It's just a demo, not the real thing. It's almost the same thing, except the real platform works:)

If you plan to daytrade at home and not in a trading room, then forget the classroom environment. - Find a chatroom, which go on average for about $200 a month. A lot of these chatrooms not only teach you how to trade but show you how to trade as the action unfolds. The peer support is great...

I just started to use the IB platform and I'm not sure if this question has been asked before but the problem still exists (may just by on my platform or really isn't a problem to begin with?). I've noticed that when I am inputting an order for a stock that is decimalized and then trying to...

I have a lot of questions that may be a little off topic here but it concerns IB since it's in their registration process: What is the Form W-9 in IB's registration process? I figured the confirmation of the SSN part but what EXACTLY does "backup holding" do? What does this form do to my...

This response may be a tad too late, but there is a way to increase those bursts of data. Adjust your MTU (data packet size) and TCP (predetermined data size required before confirmation of recieved data) values in Windows which handles your internet connection and data transfers. Lower the...
