Since this is my first post to this thread and additionally I'm pretty new to this community I will preface my first comments to this ongoing thread with the following... A. I've yet to trade listed stocks so I don't know a damn thing about it. B. I commend Hitman for his daily posts...

If you don't have an account at a RT broker and don't want an account at one, you can get it straight from Realtick.com. $250 per month and well worth it. I pay for my RT in one day of IB commission savings. JB

One of the numerous request for IB hotkey/page setup was from a Mike B. Mike B. Email sent to you is simply bounced back to me as undeliverable. I will try a few more times and if you don't receive anything you might want to send me another email address or check with your provider. JB

>My .02 cents, >IB has literally saved my trading career Shouldn't that be your .01 cents? :-) JB

>What's up with Eric? There are probably others around who would know more than I. I just told me that due to a position at a software firm he hadn't been auto-trading since earlier in the year. He was a very helpful guy and I sure wish him well. JB

>How often does IB go down ?? Depends on the definition of "down". Quotes?.. I find their quotes off many times per day. But then I don't use their quotes and don't recommend anyone who is a serious trader using their quotes. Executions?..no more problems than with my other brokers...
