If you really have only 5K -- then you should not be trading -- period. Especially if it is the e-mini futs. The debate of how much one needs to trade is forever just that -- a debate. I am going to assume that since you only have 5k -- you are kind of new to trading. You might be...

yeah

Sheesh! between this and the "why NYSE" thread, and the way this board is going, if you guys get together at the on-line trading convention, you ought to hold the get-together in the Madison Square Garden and sell tickets! I can hear it now, "and in this corner we have the battling NYSE...

I am having a similar (but different experience) right now too. I recently broached this question (gee what's going on here) to a trader i respect, who shall remain anonymous lest i be mauled by the blood hounds on this site, they (gender nuetral) suggested that: "a range is a range and...

Hey folks -- shit happens Better have a back-up contingency plan in place! A second broker is not a bad idea -- maybe. With IB forget the pre-programmed cell phone sitting at the terminal -- they are not running a customer service operation, they are providing a trading platform and that's...

gee ron welcome to IB -- there are many threads on IB's "short comings" in the Direct Access section -- let's not go there in this thread. even with that -- IB rocks! for a low cost, direct access trading platform -- that's it, that's all they are. Move on regards/greg

No one has mentioned Teresa Lo's chat room, so: T trades the e-minis, exclusively. A while back she had a free chatroom and i hung out there quite a bit. I don't trade futs -- and still, i learned a ton! T is a phenomenal trader -- no BS. She had a number of great traders working the...

D: Are you registered as a "professional"? Or trade the futs? If you are forget what i am going to post If you just want quotes (equities) -- they'll cost you $10/mo, unless you have $30 in commissions. If you want LII -- get it somewhere else! They want 70-80/month This is all...

Just a FYI I was watching IB TWS and LII pre-market. TWS only displays the inside ECN's regardless of where the MM's are on the B/A. Well, i thought it was interesting. regards/greg

Hey Pro: i see it this way, you are not going to move a thick stock with 10 to 20k shares! If you think 10 to 20k can move a stock that trades over 10 million a day -- forget about it. Now, if you are playing a stock that trades 100k a day -- then you may be "playing against each other"...

You better hope not -- who are you going to sell to/buy from when you want out? Each other? If your demand/supply moves the issue, what happens when you take the demand away? regards/greg

BOB!!! Thanks man! That worked! -- and don't tell the sys. admin. -- he'd frigging flip! LOL regards/greg

Forget it -- i figured it out -- firewall at the corporate server. Bummer regards/greg

I know there a a few folks out here who use and are knowledgeable about mIRC. I just downloaded the software, and everytime i try to connect i time out. I let it just continue, but when it got to 20+ timeout failures i gave up. I can ping most of the servers mIRC is trying to connect to...

I asked IB help desk this question -- but, well, that's why our commissions are so cheap. Generally, worthless reply. If i pull-up a IB level 2 screen (still free this month) after hours (say 6:00 pm)-- i see MM's posted Bids and Offers everywhere, and often they are unbalanced -- You know...
