I trade stocks, NQ, ES, but am looking at other possibilities in trading futures. I was wondering if anyone knows the "roll date rules" for currency futures and financial futures (US, TY, FV) So far, based on volume analysis, and some info from CME website, I concluded that the roll-overs for...

Thanks for posting this, it saved me from an unpleasant surprise. I used my back-up broker yesterday for shorting KLAC. Today, KLAC seems to be available for shorting at IB. I am also wondering, if it was just a software glitch, or it really wasn't available to borrow...?

Thanks a lot!!! I completely missed that! Yes, it's there.

Thanks everybody for your replies. Well, I did compare the 1099s figures with my records, and I realized, my 1099s are not complete/ i.e. are incorrect. Here is the situation: I have U12345, which was formerly S12345. When I log into U12345/ My Account on IB's page, there are two 1099...

Hi, I was wondering if somebody has info on this, because IB CS didn't give me a clear answer. There are two 1099 forms in my U12345 (Universal) Account Page. 1. 1099 for: S12345 (Stock account) 2. 1099 for: U12345C (Universal account) The S12345 1099 form has only info about...

sure, kk70, but it’s rather long: 1.) the daily closes of @NQ and @NQ.D should match, but they don't My e-mail to TS DataIntegrity: "Jawad, thanks for your prompt response. One more question: Is @NQ.D backadjusted? It has different closes than @NQ. If @NQ.D is backadjusted, than why...

I find this very important, too, especially since I found out that @NQ, @ES, @NQ.D, @ES.D contain some serious data errors. I notified TS about that recently. I was wondering if nobody else checks the continuous futures data for accuracy??? Erroneous data makes strategy testing almost...

Thanks for your reponse. However, the @NQ and @NQ.E seem to be identical now. (When I was posting this message, there was a difference in daily closes between @NQ and @NQ.E, but they corrected it in the meantime, after I wrote them an e-mail inquiring about it). However what concerns me more...

@NQ, @NQ.D, @NQ.E Which one of the three is supposed to be backadjusted? Also, does anyone know the difference between @NQ and @NQ.E? Thanks.

Tech Analysis: how do you set your default routing to TMBR? The available routes for QQQ on my TWS are: SMART, AMEX, ARCA, INSTINET, ISLAND, NYSE, PRIMEX, RDBK. Thanks.

Kicking, I don't use ARCA. I use SMART market orders, and in general, am happy with the executions. I swing-trade highly liquid Nasdaq stocks. As for ARCA/REDI, I believe IB disabled active orders in spring 2001. I used to use it then. Then suddenly my market orders started to get rejected...

I don't use ARCA, but here is a thought: The problem might be that (at least last time I checked, which was at least 6 months ago) IB only accepts passive limit orders for ARCA and REDI. This means that e.g. your buy limit price must be < than the ask price. Market orders get rejected...

Yes, sure. http://www.irs.gov/businesses/corporations/article/0,,id=96739,00.html

Wally, both Slovakia and Czech Rep. have double taxation treaties with US.

When I looked at TS website a couple of days ago, I thought the new commission structure was the following: 1.2 cents/share for the first 500 shares 0.6 cents/share for the shares over 500 AND TS would substract 2 cents from each order So the commission for e.g. 2000 shares would be...

I also had quote problems in the past couple of days. I believe, yesterday they were caused by Instinet, today by Arca. It does affect SMART routing, because I placed a buy market order yesterday in a very liquid stock, and it didn't execute for 30 seconds, so I cancelled it, and a placed a...

Mktman, thanks for posting this info, it made my life much easier. After your post, I was trying to find other expressions that are allowed in quote alert fields, but Help contains no info on that. This is a list that I got from TS tech support: InsideBid Q_Bid InsideAsk Q_Ask...

I also have the same feeling, but this started before I upgraded to 768 2 days ago (was using 762). Are your quotes ok? My Nasdaq quotes are 1-5 seconds delayed. This has been going on for the past couple of days, and I believe, this is affecting my order execution, too, since I usually use...
