Having a precise goal on cents per share is never a good idea either (as the originator of the thread asks). You'll either try to hold on to a loser, trying to make your cents/share number......or you'll cut loose a real winner too soon, after you've reached your cents/share target. You'll...

.0499/ share profit (net) last year. 59% winners, 41% losers x a boatload of shares. Avg. % gain per day......less than 1%, but extremely consistent.

Nobody talks about them because they're so small. I traded with them for about 18months-really sad operation then. The software,quotes, and routing were always going down. Very poor accounting through computer clearing services. A major mess for me. Just my opinion, but good luck. Bp...

Not a bad brokerage firm at all. I've traded there a couple years. The interface makes it difficult to manage a lot of positions at once, so it's hard for me to do volume there. I wouldn't worry about your capital. They clear through penson for stocks. Customer service is excellent and...

Complain to your broker/clearing firm who didn't get you the materials in time.

Just hit "Browse" for file selection, if you're trying to use the same file everytime for charting, then you can select from any drive. It should autoselect/detect the same drive every time after that unless drive paths/letters have changed. The same drive letter is not neccesary for ea. PC. If...

I've got a 80GB western digital passport, external drive. It's powered by it's USB connect....no AC power adapter needed. It's very small, and is plug and play on XP. It's the perfect middle ground between a USB flash, and a large external drive. Really great device.

Agreed.

From my experience almost none of the brokers charge interest on shorts ( just a couple may). The people who answer the phone rarely know, ask the clearing firm, or compute it from your statement. IB pays you CREDIT interest on shorts....it adds up. Afterall, you've received cash for a sold...

Running 3 PCI Matrox 200mms quad cards+ various higher end AGP cards. You can get nice (older) matrox cards on ebay for $60-70.

Yup, they wanted a piece of the action as well, after several years of insane returns. Late to the party, really. I took a couple $k of their "mad money" and put it to work for them. After the continued comments, and constant questions of "how'd you do???" (worried tone) after a semi big up/down...

I've made it, kept it, showed it ......and to them, it still barely matters, even after 8-9years. They don't understand it, and find it as hard to understand as ever, even after simply explaining it in 1+1=2 kind of terms. It can be quite frustrating. What's worse is when you've got several...

Agreed, there are so many passwords and secure device responses to overcome.....I'd say it is indeed foolproof. Thanks IB for implimenting these devices long ago!

They're definitely hit & miss on who, when & how they enforce the "erroneous rule" to. I've read (contrary to a previous post), on their sites, that both ISLD & ARCA will (roughly) bust anything over 10% afterhours, and 5% during market hours, away from the market. I've had stuff busted...

Winter, prt_systems-- hang it up guys. Thanks to EVERYONE for all the odd's n' ends security ideas and input. You've all contributed, just keep it clean. --NBBO

Outstanding! Just ordered 5 more. If you're getting the 20.1", you've gotta get them 1 at a time to get the extra $60 off. Thanks Winter!

anyone?

GREAT JOB ECHO! Your're really bumpin' up the numbers these days!

Yes

Anyone know of banks with RSA or Secure Computing type challenge/response devices being used? I know HSBC U.S. small business has them. Anyone else?
