Thanks, def. Can you possibly explain what "financial information" (referred to in my second post above) means? Thanks again.

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1102071 Can someone from IB explain whether "financial information" in the above quotation includes a customer's username, account number, positions and balances? Thanks!

Can someone from IB's technical department confirm what IBsoft wrote (and repeated below) about password non-transmission in an earlier thread? Does this follow that, from an account security perspective, it's perfectly safe to use IB's Hong Kong servers (which don't allow TWS SSL login)...

Do you think IB's new statement format is an improvement over the existing one (after making a side-by-side comparison)?

ddunbar: Would you care to elaborate on the significance of 11am and 2pm EST (4pm and 7pm in London respectively)? Thanks.

scalper21 Can you possibly recommend a few reputable professional clearing firms which welcome active retail traders? In addition to the monthly leasing fee, are there any sizable incidental costs one should take into account, like monthly software (eg, X_Trader) subscription fee? By...

Paprika: Very clear cost comparison. Does your broker pay interest on account and margin balances?

Hi When one has a catastrophe stop order placed, and there's a huge gap opening as a result of, say, a black swan event, such that prices drop way below the stop level, will such stop order still be executed at the first opportunity on the IB platform? As an example, say one is short one...
