I'm really going to miss all the Las Vegas action and attractions back in boring Billyville. Here is the spiritual Leader of Las Vegas as recently declared by the Mayor when MJ received the Keys to the City.

Read the fine print

Got it inverted. TrackTrade it be. Just trying to tell people about the payment & royalties for orderflow and the implied fullfillment lag of broker directed orders.

Thanks for the Weather heads up! I'll be there. Was any ET gathering Planned?

Saw an advertizement in TA of SC for a new TrackData business called Trade-Track. They say they are direct access. I read the fine print and they accept order flow payments & royalties, so I guess what they mean is their direct access it to their clients and not for the benefit of their...

how else would a bunch of intraverted trading nerds be able to express their aggression, but behind these annonomous identities and certainly not in person. wooo, tooo much honesty for me today. Back to the Hack :D

I'm not going to think poorly of people who for some reason or another aren't happy with their broker. S**t happens and a traders confidence is paramount to the kind of motivation you need to do this. It's no big deal, just pull up you stakes and move your camp somewhere else. It's almost...

Not to diminish anyone elses experiences, but each time I had difficulty, I was usually able to figure out that it was my fault. The only problem I had in the beginning was expecting Customer Service to figure it out for me and kiss my ass at the same time. Thanks IB for making me grow up!

Great execution: great rates: Isn't that what it's all about?

Pardon if someone has already mentioned it. No reason to be ashamed or to take any unreasonable personal criticism. It's just the money and part of doing business. You have a lawful obligation to file your tax return, and if you don't file or pay, they have extrodinary rights that will...

If the problem is Arca, does the broker really matter? Do you get the same balked service when you use another route or technique? I'm not skilled enough to figure out the bottleneck without a little more experimentation. Good Luck :cool:

Never had a great nesting instinct, always left that to the ladies in my life :cool:

I lost out on a couple of other good deals like $30 / night at the Days End behind Bally's. Saturday it offered it, but Sunday morning the special promo rate was gone. I think Expedia had Bally's for 69 for all nights.

Scrounging around yesterday, I stumbled upon a deal at the Boardwalk Hotel & Casino (approx. accross the street from Bally's) for $45 / night - taxes included. If your interested go to http://www.boardwalklv.com/pages/promotions.asp and another good deal if you don't mind walking or a bus is...

With todays proposal to have dual boards with the indepent members guiding the regulatory side and the market reps supporting the floor indicates that the specialists will get another chance. Maybe some type of software would alarm if a Specialist was "frontrunning". (IMO) :cool:

Rarely does the biggest mouth represent the most influence. It's the suttle words from a real insider that will guide the direction of action related to this debate. I see a made for TV movie, but who would they get for the starring roles? :D

Thanks so much, I printed you comments and am investigating. I don't currently get my quotes from IB so I would have see if I can link that aspect to my quote supplier or switch to IB quotes. Much appreciated! Mark :D

Wow, I sure thought I was going to get more action on this thread. I've alwaysed envied the people who could que up orders to buy at key support levels and sell at resistance efficeintly. With the brokers I've worked with, your capital is tied up with the order not the execution. Maybe...

I really appreciate this forum! I'm learning allot from the many experienced contributors, but I don't believe in labeling or belittling people for their choices. Electronic vs Specialist system is just one small element of a traders/Investors "formula" that either spits out a profit or...

I'm trying to find a product that will allow me to set up orders on my workstation and then are sent to IB when the price meets the criteria. I know I can enter GTC stop limit orders, but then, I beleive, IB will debit my account and tie up my capital. Any Ideas? I currently use QuoteTraker as...
