Most ISV's are connected. IB will be connected. Liquid electronic oil and gas futures. I would expect alot of demand. Why would any customer trade via the NY pits if the can trade electronically with split second execution?

Interactive Brokers Ranked No. 1 Software-Based Online Broker by Barron's GREENWICH, Conn., March 7 /CNW/ -- Interactive Brokers LLC (IB) came in as the Number One software-based broker in Barron's 2005 annual review of online brokerage firms. IB also was the only broker to...

The minimum is $25k, however, you can trade any amount above that, e.g. $25,010 is fine. Margin should be adjusted within one week. It will be 2% for most currencies.

They are the same. Why is it possible for IB to be tighter? Think about our model. We are purely the broker, and are providing access to quotes given from the major banks. These banks are making markets. There is also nothing to stop our customers from making their own quotes which will...

Yes it will... and I think that is another important point with our FX offering. As well as trading with the market makers, you can always trade with other IDEAL-Pro traders. If the current market on cable is 1.9150 / 1.9153, you can place a bid at 1.9151 and this will be displayed to all...

saschabr, the last price and volume would not be any use to anyone. Remember this is just a tiny subset of the market, the only last price information we would have would be that traded by our customers. So essentially this would be useless information. For example, if the current market is...

No, we don't offer NZD (although you can do NZD futures). You can do EUR/CAD, current spread is 6 points (time is 2300 US EST) We offer all the possible combinations of the following USD, EUR, CHF, CAD, JPY, AUD, HKD, GBP, so i think that comes to 28 currency pairs.

The HKD is pegged to the USD.

Each market centre has different rules regarding error trades and busting. If you are trading on a particular exchange frequently it maybe worth finding out the rules - they are usually hidden away in a small corner of their website. You also need to be careful when trying to bust a trade -...

Quotes should be fine. The market is closed between 4pm-5pm Chicago time. Note that you can also trade Eurodollars on LIFFE, symbol is ED in the TWS. You should be able to get the top 5 levels of market depth on Globex (GE). On LIFFE (ED) I believe it's 10 levels (it's closed at the...

Seth - I haven't heard any discussions regarding this - I presume you mean lowering the minimum to the same as IDEAL?

That comparison is comparing apples to oranges. Having Timber Hill in our Smart routing is an advantage to our customers, providing an extra liqudity and a faster execution route "In contrast to some of its competitors, IBG is not making trades based on knowledge of customer order...

IB can also give you an API. You can link to the TWS via Java, C++, Active X or DDE (Excel). Alternatively you could have a FIX connection to our servers. We just impose a monthly commission minimum which will also depend on your connection. Please check here...

Your "Excess Liquidity" shows how far you are from a possible liquidation. (IB will not make a margin but will liquidate the required positions). Excess Liquidity is calculated by subtracting your maintenance margin requirement from your Net Liq. You also need to watch out for your SMA at the...
