What would Bush do? Or rather, which country would he attack? Edit: Not fair, since he wasn't really aware of what his administration did, so it's not fair to blame him.

Supply and demand? More people want stock/index options than FOPs. So if the cost of storing the data is the same for both you'd need to charge more for the data. Of course the cost is basically nothing to store data.....

If you have problems, use Windows XP mode (google it).

Wow this thing grew legs and a tail. Tried using market if touched order today, had about 1.5 cents per share slippage. Not wonderful but sure beats the slippage I had because the orders didn't execute Thursday morning.

Does IB plan to publicize when this is ready or should we just harass CSRs until we find out?

These are all Nasdaq 100 stocks, you don't get much more liquid than that unless you trade the Dow or maybe SPY or QQQQ. Just my bad luck apparently.

Pulling up time and sales from Tradestation it appears only 300 shares traded above my limit price, although there were quite a bit more at my price. Guess I will be using market if touched from now on.

Apparently this occurred with two different stocks, not just that single one. WTF is going on?

I had a limit order with IB (SMART routing, not specifying anything about exchanges to use) which apparently was traded through on Thursday but did not execute. My order was sell @ 27.93 and the high of the day was 27.94 but my order did not execute. The price high was around 10 AM. How is...

Nobody mentions Paulson's decision to let Lehman fail. That turned a bad situation into a full blown crisis. How come nobody here wants to blame anyone from the Bush administration?

Why are futures down? Buy the rumor sell the news? Or some plot involving Glenn Beck, Rush, Ivan Drago, and Karl Marx? And of course Obama.

As the great Henry Louis "Skip" Gates said: Seriously, I just don't get the restriction. Sure maybe it's $50 but that's my $50, and if I want to buy a crack whore with my $50 that's MY crack whore baby! When yields eventually rise are they planning on lifting the restriction? I doubt it.....

OUCH! I just checked again (see under http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/mf.php?exch=Dreyfus&ib_entity=llc) and I noticed they have a $200K minimum for money market funds. IB screws the small guy again. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Sweet I just looked they do offer money market funds, at least for Dreyfus. will check more later. Finally somewhere to park my cash.

Who am I? I'm one of their victims! :D It's my God-given right as an IB customer to bitch about them on Elitetrader.com. It's actually written into the brokerage agreement :p Honestly I don't care that much about the interest but I don't like the fact that they offer mutual funds now...

Raped is a strong word....then again considering it sounds appropriate.

Go to: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/fees/interest.php Click on the "Interest Charged" tab. Those are the rates you pay. The rates go down if you borrow more than $100,000 USD (listed in the first column). So under $100K you'll pay (currently) 1.61%. Over $100K you'll...

You need to re-read the terms of usage for Elitetrader: No rational thoughts or acts may be committed or mentioned on Elitetrader. Any violations of this policy will be met with extreme nastiness. :D

Why would you do it in December knowing if you waited a month to Jan 2010 you'd have until 2011 and 2012 to pay taxes on it?

Would you recommend this for a trading PC? I want to start using a virus scanner on my trading PC (well technically the host server not on the virtual XP instance running the trading apps) but I do not want something like Mcafee which will take over the CPU just when I need it.
