I have no idea, but if anything is available it will be very illiquid. The trades will probably end up costing you more than $10. By the way, is that $10 the Minimum Activity Fee or the $10 US Market Data Fee? Jack

I see no reference to dual head at the link. Do\can you run one VGA and one DVI? Jack

777: Are you familiar with the acronym - RTFQ? It seems to fit to your misleading interpretation of the TTM web site - Perhaps you missed this sentence: The reason for this is simple. Rob is a real trader and he only trades his real LIVE account, no demos or simulated trades. Not defending...

My belief is - If you are going to trade that data stream, test against that data stream (as best as can be done). Of course a lot depends on what type of trading you are doing. Jack

Lee: IB provides individual back contract futures data for a year, more or less. To see what's available without having to remember the symbol exactly, put a current futures contract in the TWS main window, then select "Previous Expiry" and repeat a few times. Then select Chart and if the...

I'm guessing, but the SEC fee is only applied to sales and only to equities. Go here http://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/mrfreqreq.shtml#feerate to see the fees over the last six years and do a calculation or two to see if they match your fees. Jack

Tiki: Thanks for the thread and various links. Greatly appreciated. To almost properly use a much misused word - AWESOME! Comment - Most of the SSD failures I have read about are reported as heat problems. By insulating your SSD from the case you lose the thermal heat transfer you'd...

What is the basis of your statement? IB must borrow the short stock. Perhaps the lender withdrew them because they had an internal customer who wanted to short or the lender put in an order to sell the stock at the open making it unavailable to loan. Jack

Gariki: I'm an IB customer so I'm happy with them. You say reg-t margin - Reg T applies to equities, not futures. If you are referring to futures margin (technically a performance bond), I believe Lightspeed does offer day-trading margin on the limited number of futures they allow you to...

Trading what? Jack

Because you can VERY quickly lose money trading futures and your brokerage firm wants to be able to cover your loses with your money rather than theirs. Futures are exceedingly risky compared to option spreads. Option spreads are thought of as having a defined risk. Think of futures as...

DV: I was at the NY Trader's Expo in February and TOS was showing something called "Monkey Bars" (I think). The guy doing the demo was the developer and I caught the last half of his demo, but I believe he said it was his version of the Delta concept, but easier to use. You might hunt around...

ClearingHouse: You don't say what you trade - equities, bonds, options, futures, or Forex. Those markets have different regulators and degrees of regulation. If you are a retail trader your broker can close your account for no stated reason. However, most brokers make their money off...

If you posted the name of the issue you might get some help.

Browser versus Standalone. Both are actually loaded on your hard drive. The primary difference is that the "browser" version checks with IB whenever you open the TWS. If there is an updated version available it is downloaded and when it opens you are running the latest version and...

Tiki: If you are running four 2 Gig RAM sticks you could try removing two of the sticks. Win will boot but not run super-well and you can see if things still freeze. If not, change to the other two sticks. That may show up a RAM problem. Some MBs will allow you to run with the memory...

They have actually expanded coverage to smaller accounts. IB has three levels of security that is based based on account size - In order of security strength: 1) "Bingo Card" - a manual lookup device http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/general/bingoHelp.php?ib_entity=llc 2) "Silver"...

I did an ACATS back a number of years. I had a problem as no one told me that if I did an ACATS of the entire account and there was an unsettled trade, IB would reject the ACATS. I don't know if this is still true. I had to stop trading, wait for settlement, and then re-request the ACATS...
