    IB's Stubborn Defendants

    There are always good and bad stuffs in everything and guess people have right to complain about things they don't like. It is not good to offend people by calling them stupid or something like that for doing show. Anyway, good luck with your IB :-) Thanks for your time. Cheers,

    IB's Stubborn Defendants

    Why do I see many stubborn defendants on the following review section? Why can't we have a meaningful, intelligent and smooth conversation? http://www.elitetrader.com/br/?action=view&R_FirmID=43 My guesses are: * IB has managed to build a cult like community for their (similar to one...

    Build or Buy?

    Exactly! I had to change graphics card as the chip-set used in MB south-bridge had known issue with that series of graphics card. PC was locking up randomly which did not go away until I upgraded my SMPS (power supply) from 350W to 450W. This is just an example. Don't even bother to go...

    Build or Buy?

    Based on my experience, I can tell you that "building by yourself" can easily create stability issues. There are too many possible combination of motherboard, power supply, graphics cards, memory etc; and a slight incompatibility issue can create major problem in the system. It is always...

    SogoTrade

    Sad! SogoTrade has no extended hours trading :-( http://elite.sogoinvest.com/Home/Compare.aspx SogoElite has no web-based backup interface :-( Guess, can't use their elite client behind a corporate proxy. Also can't use your iPhone to close open position in case of broadband problem. -...

    OptionHouse???

    50,000 shares for $2.95 = 0.0059 cents per share (vs IB 0.5 cents per share + modify/cancel fee) 4,000 contracts for $9.95 = 0.24875 cents per contract (vs IB 70 cents per contract). There has to be some CATCH? Are they making money in execution? :confused:

    OptionHouse???

    I could not modify my trailing-stop order :-( The test trailing stop that was placed on Friday got executed in very weird way; I was expecting it to become market order at 9.22 but was executed as limit order (9.37) :-( 9.37 was the market price when I placed the order. Well, I'm trying...

    OptionHouse???

    I tried "PortableFirefox 3.0.5" and IE6 both. https://www.optionshouse.com/signup/ Sixth step (verify) was not showing all data in FF (IE6 was even worse, I could neither see complete data nor button for the next step).

    I finally registered with them and got to play with their platform using DEMO account. There were some glitches in sign-up, some javascript error and review screen was not populating completely. My first look on their platform was impressive. Good and feature rich web-platform. I will...

    Ah, that means you can trade options their laser platform. How does that work for individual customer? Correct me if I'm wrong; their retail platform (SogoElite/SogoTrade) has no support for options as of now. Thanks,

    They only support equities. No futures, no FX, no options. They are saying this for past many months that OPTIONS will be coming soon.
