ddefina, I couldn't agree more. Well said. If def's position here changes from 'our man at IB' into 'IB's man at ET' we will not have the same open discussion anymore, and part of ET will have been eliminated, which would have a negative impact on the whole board. Could eventually kill the...

Baron, OK it's clear that you want to see some dough now, there's in itself nothing wrong with that (don't we all), but if it is going to mean that ET indeed does become IB's helpdesk - which some say it already has, but I disagree on that although it's close to it sometimes - then I think...

flier, I agree. The colour fields should not change when highlighted. But if indeed IB has had more complaints about it, I'm sure they'll fix it. Future discussions on IB should be on http://www.daytradingstocks.com/ubbcgi/Ultimate.cgi now.

Do you have the same IE updates as before? Different versions handle cookies differently, using different folders or so. I don't know. Could be other settings as well in Internet options (content).

I agree it is a great suggestion, but I doubt that it will make Baron forget about his objections. He just does not want ET to be a helpdesk for IB customers. Period. The interaction between def and us has now died of its own success. So I think that if we want the same thing again, we'll have...

Magna, I do not think Baron's point is about IB being discussed in the wrong thread. As I understand him it's the interaction as it goes between def and IB customers that he disapproves of. I do not agree with Baron and his argument that questions concerning IB should be addressed to the...

I'm in again!

Can you raise your stops by phone?

I did setup again (had to uninstall first) to change server to Switzerland. Same problem. Can't get in there either.

The website speaks of US customers having trouble logging in, but I (still) can't get in here from Europe either. Glad I placed my stop. Hope it works if necessary...

The reason the 50/50 theory (or "flip a coin strategy") does not work is that the whole system is designed to get your money from you. The art (which I don't master either) is to be on the side that does exactly this: get other ppls money. And actually the 50/50 method would work if you were...

Can you explain that? Is there a person in between then? Then why does it often only happen for either the ask or the bid and other times for both, and always for a short period of time (couple of mins). What implications could it have for traders?

def, I really like the P/L column. Great feature. Just what I needed. Agree upon the font size issue for account window. Largest font in main window is still very workable on 17" on 1200x1600. The market depth is then just not readable anymore. Also, the new account window has too much...

BSAM, You're right - confusion complete. I'm gonna call my shrink! :confused: :) For this means that the e-mailed answer that Babak got from the IB helpdesk guy, was only an easy-way-out-answer as you get so often from these guys, when they won't bother to go into the problem. (Had the...

Reading it again, I'm probably not quite correct. It's only the description on IB's homepage that was wrong, and the algorithm works and has always worked the way we want it, and that is the way I described it in my previous post. Right?

Many thanks to all of you for raising, discussing and solving this issue. I'm still a bit confused though, so just for clarity's sake, trying to sum up the new situation: - In a long position, a sell stop is now triggered by the stop price hitting or passing the bid twice. - In a short...

Yep. But that means that the order is filled so there is nothing to change anymore. So there's no problem.

"Love is the greatest strength, I do what I do for a living, to make the life of those I love better, nothing and nothing else is under my concern." (by Hitman) I like you for the first part of that sentence, it's shocking to read how you finish it. On second thoughts though, there's nothing...

I don't. honus, If you were already short, the dilemma - if it was one for you - does not apply, I believe - or at least is of a different nature. Don't bother too much. Wet, and everybody else, The question is imo not whether you profit from someone else's tragedy (as a trader you...

I take that as an insult. Where are the moderators? There's been some complaining about personal attacks. Here you have one. :mad:
