Excuse my ignorance, but what are bullets?

Add up the percentages on the right hand side. They total well over 100%. After reading it again I don't know what they mean, but it can't be % of Nasdaq, its mathematically impossible.

You are misreading it. TMPW is not 34% of the Nasdaq volume, it is 34% of Tradescape's volume.

I have a futures account with IB and a stock and options account. They do not allow both in one account.

Thank you for the info :)

When will trading activity move from the June contracts for the e mini S&P & e mini NDX to the Sept contracts. Normally when will the next contract start to dominate? Does it switch over before expiration day, or will June be the most active right to the end? Thanks.

damonjanis - Thanks. I thought it would be a pull down destination. I haven't added any new symbols recently.

Where can I find the Best ECN execution? I have the lastest version of Java TWS and find no Best ECN in the pulldown execution tab.

gh1 - why not us IBs BEST execution mode. While it may not be perfect, you won't keep using nickels and dimes. IB does not get paid for order flow, so you don't have to worry about being ripped off that way.

Are there options on the e mini S&P or the e mini Naz. Does all of your remarks about the emini S&P also apply to the e mini Naz - executions, tradability, etc?

I use IB with cable but when I travel I log into ATT Worldnet (which has a lot of national numbers) dial up. No problems at all other than the occational disconnects that come with dial up. I sometimes have problems if I try to open too many things at once, but in general it worksd fine.

I am looking for an Excel add on that will allow me to calculate option implied vol, deltas, gammas, etc within my own spreadsheet. Anyone know of any such add on. Thanks

I am running Win ME on a 1200 mhz Athon running two monitors and IB and Watley and Netscape (sometimes 2 versions) and Excel and Eudora, etc. You get the idea. I have no problems at all. I leave it on all day with no reboots. But I also have 756Mb RAM.

Orb - my IB doesn't beep when a trade occurs. Is there some setting for this?

Help - I just did an after hours trade with IB. I offered a stock at say 35.40. I was the best offer. I walked away and when I got back I had been executed at 36.00. It was then offered at 35.25, but I don't know what sequence took place. I called IB to make sure that the trade was good, and...

If you are trading a NYSE stock that also trades on some ECNs, is the Best OK to use. I am new to IB, and have been a little disappointed in the speed of execution on NYSE stocks when I use Best. Is it appreciably faster to route directly to the NYSE or Island, or is the Best routing about the...

def - thanks for the info

I haven't been able to find a symbol for the Dow Jones futures. Can IB get these?

I listened to the sample of pit action for Marketsound and thought the audio was a disaster, it was terribly scratchy and kept breaking up. Are there other sources where I can get an audio feed of the stock future pits. Thanks.

Thank you very much def, that answers the question for me.
