Def, For "market-maker designed trading tools " wouldn't that require speed (non-HDD account checks, this is 2008...memory please), and you'd see 900ms fill time drop 80%? You're one of the best brokers I've ever executed at, but that's slipping quickly. 1) Offer Volume adjusted minimum...

Maybe you're not bright enough to catch the "jest" in all of this, as it is half the point, well...all of it, actually. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/jest -Just to help out the sheeple who don't get all of this. -NBBO

The 'Holy Grail' is simply the blood of all victims of the markets..errrr....Chuck.... and is kept in a chalice on his nightstand . If ye ever shalt aquire it, and live to tell thy tale.....ye may get thou money back.

On the Eighth day....Chuck created the markets...he never rests....and he was tired of solitaire.

Chuck did indeed drop on Hiroshima. Chuck has always been around....but I assure you....on the Seventh day......Chuck did not rest, CHUCK NEVER RESTS.

With one mighty Karate chop, Chuck Norris invented the first stock split.

I'm of the opinion, that to be a good trader (particularly a manual one), you must have a degree of "cockyness" --a slight step up from confidence. There's a real fine line where great traders dwell --between confident and slightly cocky. If you get arrogant, or event worse, egotistical, you...

Simple, he's got talent, discipline and a knack for smelling out true edges, and all this at a young age......god help us when he gets older, I just hope he leaves us some scraps.

Yes, but after doing this thru multiple++ builds...things get ugly, so it was just plain time to start fresh. The new GUI takes some getting used to for sure, and they screwed some things up on them all...but I'm just starting to get used to "classic". Note it is much more crisp, and for me...

TWS 884.3 Java 1.6.0_05 API 9.3 Server 2003 R2 OS I've had problems importing my old settings and getting erratic behavior in multiple prior versions. Clean 884 install, and complete reconfiguration by hand, 884 seems to be more responsive and has been fine with the API. I'll be moving...

I must say I am deeply disappointed at how this has been thought thru by IB. They've batch applied logic across all products, when ea. has it's own unique issues. For high volume traders, it takes 700+sh at the .001 tier, to overcome the minimum charge--no small hurdle in a fragmented market...

Immediate, and detailed clarification is needed, Def. Stocks were made a clear example in the communique, yet I know of no US stock exchange with a minimum (other than round lots), in which this would apply based on execution.

Def, I'd imagine it's not IB's intent to structure this way, as it hurts all parties involved. If this is an intentional structure..... -- I'm sorry to say, but I'm moving 20-30m+ shares a month elsewhere...and it impacts the smaller guys just as much as me or more. For API orders, in...

Yes, I was a bit vague on part of that description. Chasing a fast moving stock, would mean me changing the price everytime. We then add the additional layer of SMART canceling/replacing/rerouting. This is why I was hoping for clarification from IB exactly what is ment, rather than me...

Suppose you're working a 2500sh order on a fast moving stock & small partials of your orders make 50-60% of your fills. Previously all these partials would be 1 ticket at IB, and the .70 unbundled min. charge doesn't matter. Suppose you generate enough volume that you have a blended IB tier...

bump

If an IB rep would care to clarify these changes, I'd much appreciate it, as it's potentially a very significant change to the commission structure.

:cool:

gnome is correct, almost no one needs it, and it does greatly increase your chance of complete loss of data. That said, I run Raid 0 w/15k SAS drives on my colocated boxes, I'm running my trading app and databasing full tick on L1 & L2 data (all books), as well as heavy application logging...
