If you like trading low-priced stocks, I don't recommend IB because they charge per share. 1c/share for first 500 shares, then 1/2c/share. So 1000 shares costs $7.50, 2000 shares cost $15. And if you tend to accumulate your shares with multiple orders, those 2000 shares could cost up to $20...

I have bought 2 desktops and 1 laptop from DELL in the past, but I am starting to sour on them. They have figured out lots of little tricks to milk customers of extra $$ on their website. For instance, you can't configure a Inspiron 8200 with the 15" UltraScharp UXGA (1600x1200) Display...

I built a new PC a 2 months ago, and I recommend the newer Intel chips because (1) they are using 0.13 um process so they are smaller, and use less heat than equivalent AMD part so you don't need as strong a fan (2) once Intel released the P4s with 512 KB cache, they took over the performance...

I run IB TWS, QCharts, and CyberTrader on Windows XP (custom P4, 512 MB), and I don't have any problems. I also run it on Windows 2000 (dell laptop P3, 128 MB) with no problems.

I think Java (version 1.3.x and up) is a robust programming language and environment. However, Java applets running inside IE are less robust. Javascript is a programming language supported by your browser; It has nothing to do with Java. You should really be running TWS as a standalone...

I had 3-4 disconnects so far, the last one lasted for awhile. I restarted JTWS, and now it's back (Location SiliconValley, CA, Pacbell DSL)

--------AFTER ONE YEAR-------- 1% per day for the past *one* year would be (1 + 0.01 / day)^ (1 years*250days/year) = 1.01^250 = 12 = 1200% If you started with 25k, after 1 year you would have $300k!! ---------AFTER TWO YEARS------ 1% per day for the past *two* years would be (1 +...

In 2000, I averaged almost exactly 1% a day, although most of the gain was probably in the top 20 days out of 250 trading days. If you can average 1% a day for the year (about 250 trading days), then your original account will grow by about 1200% if the gains are spread out evenly and you use...

I just ran into the same problem also after downloading the latest build 772.4. You can use Big Price Up, Big Price Down hotkeys which move in 0.4 cents instead of 0.1 cents inrecements which is a little better. But IB needs to restore the old behavior. On most stocks, people don't want...

As interest rates have fallen over the last couple years, the interest rate paid on trading account balances has fallen like a rock. I have been tracking the interest paid on my IB and CyberCorp accounts, and IB is the best right now, esp. if you have a large account. First of all, IB gets...

I have had very good service from www.newegg.com . They have a wide selection, competitive prices, excellent packing and shipping service. If you live outside CA, you don't have to pay sales tax. Fleance

One difference between ERTS and EBAY is that ERTS was already in the S&P400 index, so for some fund families they simply shifted the shares from the S&P400 fund to the S&P500 fund. I don't think that completely explains it, though, because SDS was also a S&P400 memeber and it had a better...

The P/E ratios for housing (P = the inflated "selling price" and E = the prevailing rental rates) is definately still rising in Silicon Valley. Check out the following info which contrasts the Residential and Office Rental markets with Residential Housing market. "In Santa Clara County...

FYI I am using Build 770.0, the latest version. I don't think it matters what version you are using. The problem is with their quote feed for SMART, and also how they route/create limit and market orders based on the BestBid and BestAsk of SMART. Fleance

The past few days I have been seeing that quote problem raising its ugly head again. For example QQQ 25.27 x 25.23 . During some times of the day, I'm see this on almost every stock. This is with the SMART contract. This is very annoying because I click on the bid and ask to create my...
