    Bush's No Dividend Tax on small companies?

    "Another fine tax-cut for the yacht-club members, but more bullshit for the rest of the 90% of America." Another senseless attack on the "rich". Maybe you haven't realized it but many "non-rich" people also will benefit equally from this tax cut. Many employees have their savings in either...

    Day Trading Canadian Stocks

    over_invested Can you explain a bit more about being able to trade more than 20% in foreign content. If I understand you correctly I can trade 100% of the funds in foreign stocks for example, as long as I am not over the 30% at month end or whenever the company does its calculations. For...

    Problems w L2 on T.S lately

    Today, this morning, I experienced very bursty data updates. Al quotes and T&S would freeze for a 10 seconds or so, and then suddenly I would get a burst of updates. Almost like the data was being buffered somewhere and then released in sporadic chunks. It could have been my ISP's network...

    Problems w L2 on T.S lately

    The other quotes are coming from Cybertrader but I'm not sure who their provider is. The problem I'm seeing is more than just a lagging quote problem. Many times the quote will just not update at all, usually until the bid/ask changes again, and TS6 will get the new update. Its almost as if...

    Problems w L2 on T.S lately

    Kymar, I haven't had any crashes on TS6 but the quotes often lag my other quote provider significantly. This is happening on both NYSE and NASDAQ. Today for example on AMGN bid/ask was frozen and out of sync many times, while my other provider was updating quotes just fine. Bottom line is...

    Trading Clueless

    Yes I did. Especially when there were trades executing on upticks at worse prices than mine. I inquired on the trade and was told the standard "orders ahead". End of story.

    Trading Clueless

    vhehn, don't be a simpleton. Of course I've heard of the uptick rule and I know intimately when it applies, after all I've been doing this for 8 years now. Many times when this has happened I've started a trade inquiry and I've gotten the fills I deserved. So stop being such a smart mouth.

    Trading Clueless

    If I understand Miskie's original question correctly, apparently the stock reverses direction immediately when the order is filled, or the order is never filled. I have been experiencing this alot on NYSE trades. I enter a limit order to short/buy, typically 0.10 below the current bid/ask. My...

    Sharing internet connection

    You definitely need a router. Check out the Linksys 4 port hub-router, or since you already have a hub, the cable/dsl router, www.linksys.com While you could use a IP sharing program, such as the one built into W2k, the router is simpler and cleaner.

    Programming the IB API

    Carl, I'm not sure if there is an upper limit, but I've had up to 80 L1 symbols being tracked simultaneously. I don't track L2 so I really can't comment on it.

    Programming the IB API

    Doc, They have a website for it but you can't get there from the main web site. I forget the URL for it but you can get all the info you want by sending an email to Kenneth Ahrens at kahrens@cybertrader.com. He is the product manager for the API. You will need to sign some non-disclosure...

    TradeStation Securities Announces New Lower Commissions

    Concerning slow data, I have noticed over the last few weeks that several NYSE stocks were receiving slow data updates or in some cases the bid/ask & bidsize/asksize were not updating. These quotes were being compared to Cybertrader and also other sources. And this was during slow market...

    Specialist Tricks

    Notwithstanding the fact that the specialists may indeed be too busy to try to manipulate our 1000 share orders, it does seem to me that lately it is almost impossible to get decent fast fills, even on highly liquid stocks like IBM. I see an offer on NYS of 8100 shares, I enter an order to...
