CMT3 is one of the most interesting exams so it's not too much of a chore to study for. Good luck.

You probably have advanced order types switched off. Check the Feature Selector - in your tool bar or under the Configure menu

No chance.

Both Euribor and Eurodollar are very liquid during European hours. You could also check our Short Sterling, but that's not as liquid as Euribor. On IB, during Asian hours, you have the Eurodollar and JGB's. The JGB's are not in the same league though. If you're looking at highly liquid...

Back in 2004, the SGX could do 1m contracts per month, but the business was killed by Globex offering the contracts around the clock. In March this year, SGX volume was 3,000 for the whole month, so this isn't going to be much use to anyone.

No postings on ET - probably because it's primarily used by investment banks, hedge funds and brokers. These type of firms are usually intimately familiar with FIX and use it to handle multiple brokerage connections. It also has a higher monthly minimum commission level which would eliminate...

Yes, in most cases an active daytrader would be better off with the unbundled rate.

You can use IB - and you do not need to use the TWS platform for this. You can recieve market data via our API and use a FIX CTCI for order management. Theres a bunch of information here: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/ctci/gatewaySoftware.php?ib_entity=llc and under the...

Assuming you're not holding overnight positions, then with IB for the first 300 contracts in a month you'll pay: DAX: Eur 3.02 r/t ESTX50: Eur 2.62 r/t

I'm not aware of any developments in that direction. Nor am I sure that we need them. We have excellent equity routing, and also have a size desk for large size clients ($5m+). For FX, we will continue to develop and build up IDEAL-Pro. I believe our spreads are competitive with anyone...

IB's Financial Advisor account allows you to do all this. You can aggregate orders and set-up pre-order allocation algorithms. IB can also manage the administration and payment of any management fees, performance fees or commission mark-ups. It's goes without saying that you would get access...

You can set these up using the TWS Alerts.

These meaningless numbers which appear are not generated by IB. OPRA have been testing their systems in the US evening and this has resulted in "bad prices" coming through the OPRA feed. We have sanity checks, thus no clients should have had positions liquidated because of this issue...

You can trade BB stocks through IB, and yes, your commission calculation is correct. (100,000 x $0.02 x 0.002)

The helpdesk maybe a good place to start. The helpdesk hadn't received any calls regarding IDEAL-Pro as of an hour or so a go. So you may want to try there. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/general/contact/contact.php?ib_entity=llc...

Please don't, as we rarely answer CS issues on ET. The fastest way to get an answer is to send us a ticket via your Account Management window or call us. However, even e-mail should be answered within 24 hours.

Check you have it ticked in the Feature Selector (Configure Menu)

You can set-up a stop upon entry, but the stop is based on double bid/ask rather than on the last price.

Yes. There are quite a few third-party tools available which will connect TS to IB. Check on our website under Software >> Third-Party Tools. Most of them will likely be in the Freelance Tools section.
