I've worked with many hard working, intelligent, well spoken african americans over the years.....almost all from overseas (europe/africa.....you name it). In my stereotypical view (not prejudiced), the U.S. has created an environment where this need to be 'rewarded or codled'- for being a...

Not sure if this has been requested yet...... A longer password for login. An eight character maximum can be fairly easily hacked, how about 15-20+ character maximum. Thanks,though, for enabling us to use special characters for the password creation. Yes, yes...there's the secure...

IB Suggestions & Improvements : For IB representatives to remain a part of an open forum like elitetrader, taking questions, making clarifications, and asking for suggestions. While it may be burdensome to IB personnel to deal with some of the junk here, I've seen some of the best customer...

Esignal definately lagging today, yesterday was really bad. 10-15 seconds is insane.

Depends on how that virus rooted itself in your system. System restore doesn't restore/overwrite everything. Imaging software is the way to save yourself some headaches. I've found system restore fails much too often to be reliable.

Thanks IBsoft, having to backtrack through those extra zeros to change a limit price REALLY slows the trade down. Makes for mistakes too.

KUDOS TO DT........WHY? He's making a few more bucks. If you guys haven't gotten a "feel" for DT......then shame on you. I think he's just a trader, who has his mojo down, makes some bucks in the market, and is willing to make a couple more doing this. ---You wouldn't do it? Kinda fun to...

Yeah, lets hear the fix gordo. PS--Was running McAfee too. I ghosted back to a previous version, and am running smoother now....but am adding software & drivers slowly to see if I can isolate the problem. Checked power supply to add up my wattage. Got 350w on my dell 8400...not great...

HMMMM........I just came back on line from a similar lock-up. OS: MCE 2005, Dell 8400 3.6mhz, 2gb 533mz DDR2, Matrox 200mms, and Radeon X300 (just loaded the drivers as well), 200gb drive. 5 monitors. Running IB, Esignal, excel. Same exact set-up running XP & XP pro, no probs, but excel...

An almost beautiful reply, IBj, clear, concise, non-hostile,well thought out. I vote it the best response by a broker for a scenario in question.

No size charge on NYSE. They only for over 5min on the book. Amex charges for anything over 2100 shares on most securities, .01 usually.

I've had tickers stick in the very first line on my TWS trading page before--and I can't delete them. I just deleted the page, and started over again, leaving the very first line blank. Yeah, strange glitch that showed up 3-4+ versions ago.

Agreed, memory is the same...but the % failure rate and latency are different manufacturer to manufacturer. PS--Did try a couple cheap OCZ sticks from tigerdirect......1 failed outta the box, the other would occasionally hang the OS....tigerdirect immediately replaced and refunded (got a diff...

Something that close in and large isn't messing around. Likely an institution setting off a black box to buy all shares within' X price range of the futures they are likely buying. This may just be a way to get the best price on the russel 2k, as they hit both the futures and the ETF. IWM...

Look for the "Please click here for explanation to import your annual statements into MS Excel" Under the year end statement. Basically I think you can just open the html (after saving it to Hard drive) in excel......then save it as an excel file.

Depends on the overall market, the specialist's mood, other orderflow in the stock, etc. etc. You've gotta have more to throw at the stock than others want to throw on the opposite side, to move it, AND more than the specialist is willing to soak up. Takes a very large bankroll, and big...

Hundred share lots won't move it. The specialist will also crush you if he sees a bunch of jokers jacking with his stock, be careful.

Welcome aboard joeyata1. Glad ta see ya post! Excellent day! --Cheers, NBBO

Keep your chin up MM, I think your the best volatity trader I've seen. It's been really volatile on my end as well: Wed +34k (2nd best day) Thurs -13k (2nd worst day) Today +9k so far Crazy out there.

You're right on the money. Those are largely risk arbitrage numbers, and hence the low percentage of winners. My market making numbers are about .037-.039 currently net of everything, but are 79-81% winners. Discretionary/day trades are about the same.
