    Someone cleaned up my IB account (almost)

    Did you find any trojan on your PC ? Once someone gets running a trojan on other people´s PC he almost can do anything he wants. No problem to read passwords from keyboard or to forward emails (i.e. your tokens from IB) found in your ´inbox´.

    You don´t even need a system crash to get your account positions messed up. I recommend re-reading what happened to elocal customers in the past.

    Emini trading!

    Even if they are fungible there might be the problem that you do not know what position you have. And yes, sometimes your broker does not know either. And in the end he will tell you that it´s your responsibility to know what positions you have. Sounds familiar to anyone ? This same old story...

    Emini trading!

    There was a time when I watched Level II quotes for T-Bonds and for E-Mini S&P. Without having an additional crystal ball it does not help anything in trading.

    IB: Yes or No??

    You open the Java Plugin Control Panel and chose the tab Browser. Uncheck Microsoft Internet Explorer. Then all the MS Java applications (chat, Datek streamer, JTrader, ...) will be happy - and if you listen very carefully you can hear them whisper "God Save Bill Gates !" :D

    IB: Yes or No??

    All you need to do is uncheck Browser Intergration with IE 6.0 in Settings/ControlPanel/JavaPlugin and your Datek Streamer will be running side-by-side with IB TWS (standalone).

    IB: Yes or No??

    If you do not trade NYSE (and do not have an ISP that causes TWS to start its re-connect procedure) there are not too many problems you would have had over the last 12 months. Organization of helpdesk could be improved: If your question is too difficult they simply do not reply (or they reply...
