In NYMEX futures? Just create a combo order with the appropriate oil and rbob/heating oil contracts you want. I don't believe IB offers the NYMEX options.

From the first link: "The whole process can be done in as little as 4 weeks, at a cost of around $10,000. In some cases, the cost is even less." Man, I gotta find me some of these cheaper lawyers.... A securities lawyer who can put together a private placement for 10k has me drooling.

For less frequently used options like this, I usually: Create a new order line Right click on it and pick Modify > Ticket Go to the TIF tag if in compact mode (if in comprehensive mode, GAT will be on the main page) Then change GAT See illustration.

This has to be one of the funnier threads I've seen in a while. Just to add to conspiracy theories: TOS wants you to go take an Investools class, preferably not one of the free teaser ones. :D

I doubt it. Assuming you're talking TWS standalone vs. TWS launched via JNLP through browser. (and not running as an applet, or WebTrader) It's pretty much the exact same thing. The only slight difference might be if your Java disk cache is too small and the JNLP version flushes...

Crossed quotes are actually not infrequent. I've seen at least the following issues: 1. problems w/some exchanges (e.g., I know I saw a DirectEdge issue earlier today) with bad quotes 2. Time lags in updating quotes from some exchanges. 3. Less efficient markets where there isn't NMS...

The one that HAS the token can share it with the one that does NOT have one.

I am good on QQQQ, my various GMS, NYSE, AMEX and OTCBB as of 1:35PM EDT. bids/asks/last/size/high/low/volume all OK. Was seeing flakiness on a few GMS tickers earlier but appears to have been bad data from DirectEdge when I blow out the destinations onto separate data lines.

Hey, 10% winner every 5 years -- that's just ~2% a year! :D

Just saw that. Great! A slightly related but somewhat unrelated question. Is there any way to transfer positions between two accounts in the same name? (not cash, but positions) Been wanting to ask CS but given last week's volume, didn't want to bother anyone.

As per the links, you get them for adding liquidity to the book (i.e., a non marketable limit order that is later filled), provided that your commission arrangement with your broker passes them on that is.

As another development in the Kevin Steele aftermath, IB has entered into a settlement with the CFTC in this matter earlier this month: http://www.cftc.gov/opa/enf07/opa5354-07.htm The final stipilation is kinda interesting. Though no admission or denial of guilt was made by IB, the...

There are some users who want tick by tick. IB is not. There are some occassions when issues occur with the IB feed as with any feed, but there are more reliable feeds avail and I have from time to time used them though not recently as my focus has shifted. But in general, I have not found...

One comment (opinion only) about running W2K as opposed to XP, soon Vista, etc. bec it's leaner. "True." BUT the tradeoff is, security is tighter on newer OSes -- esp. Vista -- and security patches from MSFT come out faster for newer OSes. As a matter of fact, I believe 2K is in maint...

FWIW, doesn't explain any wkend glitches. Been there since at least Thu (when I went looking for the earnings release).

I would suggest going to each ECN's Web page and reading the details as each one has slightly different fees, there are impacts from routing out, etc. e.g.: http://www.nyse.com/productservices/nysearcaequities/1157018931977.html...

Well, today the total customer equity at IB is still less than TP's net worth so he can probably bail you out like he did after the Altana blow-up. ;-)

Must be part of the program to attract prime brokerage customers....

I'm pretty sure it's disseminated (I think that's required). And I did a bit of research as I've never used it-- it's actually a porfolio cross at 8:01: http://www.archipelago.com/traders/updates_detail.asp?ID=1278&FROM=NOTICES
