In the new Beta TWS you will be able to particiapate in the BOX pip process. Option traders should find this a major development (except for some of the posters above who seem as if they would rather pay the spread :confused: ). Full details available here...

So why not trade the futures? The spread on the EUR future is usually 1 to 2 points, and you can send limit orders between the spread, and set stop orders, or trailing stop orders While I write this, at a relatively quiet period of the day, (1030pm EST), theres a 1 point spread on GBP; 2pts...

$2 a gallon.... wow, sounds like a dream. It's $6 in Hong Kong.

Matt, We can help you there. We offer FIX connectivity to our servers. You would need to have a direct line connection to one of our nodes - located in Switzerland, Hong Kong and the US. We also impose a minimum monthly commission level of US$2400 for FIX connections. PM if you need more info.

beat me to it!! :)

Whenever you are unsure of the status of an order it's always best to contact a brokers helpdesk immediately. A dim view is taken of clients that attempt to use a free option - (and you'd be surprised how many do). (Michael, I'm ok, thanks. Its a nice 84 degrees today in HK - but a...

You can call HK or you can use the IB online chat service to speak to the HK desk.

Why not contact the helpdesk who will be able to determine the status of the order right away?

It's usually too late by the time it reaches the press.... H-Share Index -22% from recent highs Maanshan Iron -39% China Mobile -26% Jiangxi Copper -44%

most of the commodity based companies have dropped about 30% in the last week.

I realise the locals would pay less, but I wasn't aware of firms in Singapore charging lower than Y250 per side to the public.

Osaka Nikkei Contract Symbol: N225 Globex USD Nikkei Contract Symbol: NKD Trading Hours: 0800-1515 Chicago time We do not offer the Globex JPY Nikkei contract. The contracts are not fungible, i.e. you cannot open a position on one exchange and close on the other exchange.

I'm not sure if that's true anymore. Through IB, depending on your volume, you pay between Y500-Y750 per contract per side inclusive of all fees for the Osaka contract (and remember that this contract is twice the size of the SIMEX contract.) Not to mention the fact that OSE is electronic so...

Ok, understood. Will see what I can find out.

Mr. NBBO, You have most of these already: 1)ARCA_EX (not ARCA only). Go to Configure >> Misc >> Exclude Arca from SMART 2)Brut Is available 3)Redi Is now part of Arca 4)ALL the regional exchanges, & even Trimark!* Sorry don't have these.

It seems that this issue was due to one of our servers which stopped responding around 933am EST - hence the issue only affected a handful of accounts. The issue was resolved by switching to a back-up server.

Larry, You can call the IB helpdesk in Hong Kong and place trades during the reset.

You should start getting the lower fees for all futures.
