Are you still having this problem? I have slow/delayed quotes for Nasdaq stocks, but the problem doesn't seem to be only ARCA, all my quotes are delayed. I have notified IB this morning.

I am not sure if you still need this, but here is probably what you were looking for. It's from Business Week Online, and it's free. http://prosearch.businessweek.com/businessweek/general_free_search.html?mode=advanced

I have accounts with both IB and TS, and am happy with both. They are different, and both of them have their advantages, and disadvantages, so they balance each other out. I would suggest, to open accounts with both if you have no trading broker yet, and have enough capital. You will need a...

I have never heard of "daily" SEC fees. I have a TS equities account, and the only SEC fees that they charge me is on the sales of stock, which you can see on the confirmations. It's quite inconvenient to see all the fees only on the monthly statement. TS really should try to provide daily...

I don't use 3 decimals in my orders, but this is from TS Help. ISLD accepts decimal increments precise to three digits (that is, prices as fine as .001) for all Listed Stocks. BRUT accepts decimal increments precise to four digits (that is, prices as fine as .0001). Fractional price...

Kymar, you are right, it definitely wasn't in the EL manual when I was learning EL. I found it in Ch. Wright's book: "Trading As A Business" that Omega sent me some time ago, it was in one of his sample codes. Thanks for your detailed explanation, I agree that in most cases, it's better to...

Kymar, I am not sure if I understood your post correctly, but actually, TS "knows" at the close of current bar what the open of next bar is going to be. Try: Buy Next Bar at Open of Next Bar + 0.2 Stop; SellShort Next Bar at Open of Next Bar - 0.2 Stop; You can use "Next Bar" only...

Roumeo, why do you think long term trading is 50% gamble? If you have a good system, long term trading is the same as short term trading, just in a different time frame. I trade both long term and short term, there is no big difference, I just follow my signals...

May be this was the reason for his comments? http://money.cnn.com/2002/05/21/commentary/streetlife/streetlife_serwer/index.htm "Interestingly, Deep Blue points out that Grant's Interest Rate Observer (Hey Jim, you big bear!) says that Warren Buffett's "Berkshire holds an options-related...

The today's Close of Data2 is beeing referenced starting at 1600; before 1600 if you reference Close of Data2, it points to yesterday's close. A good way to find out what is beeing referenced is using a commentary: Commentary(Close of Data2); Put this line in your strategy, click on your...

Mike, they are a local provider in PA, you probably wouldn't know them... In general, their service is quite good, but sometimes they have strange issues.

Alan, the problem was a malfunctioning spam filter of my DSL provider. So I don't think it affected other customers. (You mention that you have also unanswered e-mails. Based on this experience, I would suggest the best thing to do is to call the tech support. My e-mails to cust. service...

Here is a list of deductions for traders that I collected from different sources (e.g. GreenTraderTax) since I thought I would file M2M (decided against it, so I haven't used them). Hope it helps: · Margin interest · ISP, internet · Phone, cell phone · Datafeed · Software ·...

marketsurfer, I don't think new customers have the choice. I think, only the original customers can choose if they want to switch to the new fee structure or stay with the old one. For the new ones, it's 1.2 cents a share (.75 cents incremental for over 1500 shares) + 99 monthly software fee

Wow, I didn't think my post would initiate such a long discussion. Thanks everybody for your responses and suggestions. I didn't post the name of the broker, because I first wanted to find out where the problem is, and not to accuse them publically when I wasn't sure. Yes, I had my doubts...

Thanks everybody for your suggestions. They are looking into this. But it's really strange. I am able to receive e-mails from the support on another e-mail address. My Reply To address was correct. They are not getting any Bounced e-mail messages from my "problem" address. I receive...

Was anybody able to succesfully switch from long to short in one transaction? I tried it approx 2 weeks ago (on 2 separate occassions), and wasn't succesfull. Actually, the order was completely messed up, not even the long position closed in full, and the remaining order got cancelled. IB...

I was wondering if someone with computer background can tell me if this is possible. I haven't received any reponse from my broker to my e-mails for 2 weeks, and when I complained, I was told that they actually responded to both, and that my mailserver is giving them time outs when they try to...

Thanks everybody for your responses and for sharing your experience. I will look at the executions possibilities you suggested. I have been using TS software for a couple of years now, but only now am in the process of opening a trading account with them. I am not in a hurry to fully automate...

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have more than one Order Bar present on screen. I trade 4 stocks systematically, and usually have more than 1 position open. What I need is to have entry and exit orders ready for most of them, since sometimes the signal is triggered for two or more...
