Anyone know what's going on?

And they charge 3.5% of the withdrawal amount to withdraw to your credit card...which is the equivalent of brokers that charge you ecn fees when you add liquidity, because they are getting a rebate, and charging you. They are charged by the bank to process credit card transactions, but when they...

Just a word of warning...if you open an account with SureTrader, the only option for withdrawing funds is wire transfer. (Supposedly you can also withdraw via credit card.) And the charge for a wire? $100! On top of whatever your bank charges to receive an incoming wire. They tell me they are...

I just re-read Gen 5 & 11. I don't know if you believe these geneologies are literally true, or just mythology. If they're literally true, it's impossible to have gaps. There is no way around it, period. You can't even use the argument I mentioned earlier, where it means A became the father of...

Has Apex officially taken over for Penson, and now clearing for all those retail firms? If so, do they offer more shortable stocks than Penson did?

Does anyone do their main trading with a touch screen? I'm talking about regular sized monitors, not an iPad or something. Of course, the issues I'm concerned with are 'fat fingers'...and posture. I would either put the monitofs lying flat down, which means I'd always be hunched over. Or if...

Does anyone, who doesn't believe in evolution, have a response to this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi8FfMBYCkk Most scientifically educated Christians, including Ken Miller, Francis Collins, Michael Behe (one of the main proponents of intelligent design) freely admit the common...

If you believe Genesis is literally true, it's hard to overcome a 6000-year old universe. There are no gaps in the Genesis geneology. If you want to say there are gaps, you have to admit that Genesis is errant. Read Genesis 5 and 10. The formula is: A lived X years, and then become the...

Here are the ecns I'm aware of. Are there any others? NSDQ ARCA EDGE BATS? NITE? Are these ecns? Is BTRD still around?

This is a very odd order entry problem that happened to me on Friday. I have never seen anything like this in 13 years of trading. I'm trying to figure out whether my broker (SureTrader) is to blame, or the software (DASTrader). At Friday near the close of trading, I accidentally placed a...

Let's say worst case scenario Penson has to get bailed out by SIPC. I would assume that anyone with a brokerage account clearing through Penson would get a check to cover their balance...I just wonder how long they would have to wait.

Just to be clear...this is same Penson that clears for several retail brokerages, correct?

Would you feel safe funding your brokerage using a credit card? The reason I ask, card companies have different attitudes (and rates) about cash advances vs purchases. If you make a purchase, as long as you pay off your end of statment balance by the following due date, you pay no interest. A...

I honestly can't believe they get away with this...seems like an illegal practice.

It just hit me after I posted. It's Ocross. But now I can't find them on the internet. Does anyone know if they're still around? Have they changed their name again?

They were a sponsor on here a couple of years back, and they later changed their name. Does anyone know what they are called now?

If I place an order to buy at 3.00, for example, can the broker change my limit price to 2.99? This isn't a hypothetical, IB is doing it to me for some reason. And I'm missing fills because of it. Also, is a broker obligated to fill your order to all exchanges? For example, let's say that...

According to Nasdaq's website, trading in AA resumed at 16:35:23. ARCA had a bunch of prints as early as 16:35:00. Is one ecn allowed to execute trades that early on a listed stock? My broker called arca, and they told him the trades prior to the official resumption time were good. I'm just...

Briefing had a story last night about the government possibly backing $100-$125 billion in assets for BAC. After midnight, DJ broke a story about $20 billion in fresh capital, but there was also a headline that read 'US to backstop $118 billion in BAC assets.' So I would assume that it's the...

I have never seen this message in TWS before. Out of the blue, I have to specify how much to allocate to each account. I have a position in 1 of my accounts, and I can't sell it because of this error message. IB professional help has gone home for the day, and their retail division can't help...
