I'm got stale trouble tickets that are being hammered away on right now. It's a complex issue, but I'm dealing with the right IB guys now that can fix it. They are there....it's just tough to get to them.

To play the middle here: I'm not sure Jim & I would get along... but I can't think of anything he's said in a large # of posts that I'd disagree with, he's very blunt, very honest, very fair. Yet, I've got trouble tickets that ARE about that stale, and no response as well--and I'm a heavy...

Thanks guys.....I've been ghosting all morning thinking I had a couple corrupted files I couldn't find.

I've known that idex ETF for a decade, and traded it for all it's worth for that time. THAT was definately a bustable print if you know that #1 its an index ETF, #2 it's typical range (even market adjusted) isn't near that , #3 it's previous bust history. #4.....well it's AMEX. PM me...

Agreed. I had this exact type of thing happen years ago, it took me for about 10-12k. Welcome to the club....you've now been officially "initiated". I'm definately in your corner Szeven, but this deal is definitely done. I got a sweet fill from the AMEX the other morning....I thought for...

IN AUSTIN TX: Things have been dead/declining since 2000-2001 (tech bust in a tech town). Things were on fire from mid 1990's up to the bust. NOW: 2006 Q2 and forward. Things are definately moving again. We participated in none of the "mega moves" that the country has seen in the last 5...

What is IB's FIX commisson schedule? Is it charged at the API rate...or is it available at the unbundled rate?

Wow, you guys really need to get up to speed. There have been mulitple changes in the last couple years, our old lazy "details upon request" are not accepted anymore (not that they really were). Agreed, that the CURRENT best way is a crate of trade executions--line item Sch. D style. Try...

I just Edited & added the same thought earlier, HoundDogOne! Things need to be changed across the industry--especially for the large account holders who will be getting more & more skiddish.

100% agreed. Yet, the new twist on stealing funds these days isn't through direct wires out...they trade some POS penny stock,in your account, pumping it up--while they're selling (dumping) it to you. Really messy for the broker, the customer & the SEC. This is why a log in RSA token...

Log out, then log back in. It's a java glitch.

NYSE simply prints thru them (the ECNs), they get nothing unless someone matches them on the ECN. That said, there are those on DOT who get the NYSE print thru, and instantly hit the ECNs for a quick buck. Everything on DOT/or the floor that is below the inside quote gets the print. My...

IB Has always been helpful if we have an execution that is clearly outside of the execution curbs. We've also had plenty that we don't contest.........why? Because we fat fingered it, and it was within exchange bounds....but COULD potentially be broken. It was our mistake, a cost of business-...

The specialist likely received your cancel request....and ignored it as he was cleaning up a print. This is standard stuff from NYSE. As far as a bust?? No chance, this is not IBs fault. .....and if they DID bust....you'd be stuck short the stock x 10k shares, as you "had to sell at a...

You're kidding me right???? This was seriously the email THAT ESIGNAL SENT YOU???!!! I've used them for years, along with others, but if they can't keep their stuff up to par & then flip-out when you complain??!! Esignal support is non-exsistant, or a 45minute hold...then you give them...

I guess the lingo does typically pertain to listed. Spreading the stock means the stock may have been $ 44.00 x 44.09 or the like.....you see the spec. re-quote 1x1 on ea side often, and the quote goes to 43.90 x 44.50. The specialist then prints this buyside gap at 44.50 x 68,300 shares or...

Beautiful blotter, welcome aboard. Man, you shredded SPY!

853 days. Then got a trade busted that never ever, ever should have been...on NYSE. Spec. gapped big, I got long, sold for a nice chunk. The customer complained & everything was "repriced" 4hrs later x 200% of the avg daily volume--GREAT :( . I was now short, had to buy in for a 10.5k hit...

A guy that makes rebound scores isn't as worthy as one who makes 3 pointers? Sure, it may not be as impressive....but ONLY the TOTAL SCORE wins the game. I hear what your sayin', though, Mav--trading for .01 and/or rebate, is a bit extreme...but it does give them some experience to start...

Again, back to "every player specializes" analogy. We all do things differently, hopefully we all do it well. I've scalped for .03-.05...and traded for $3-5.00. .03-.05 is more stable and intense, and not as volitile as $3-5.00 gains. I'm not even sure what my specialty is anymore, I do...
