Yeah Right, IB doing something generous for customers? HA, that was the best joke I have heard in some time.

This is unacceptable. IB should be refunding some comissions to make up for this issue. I am sure they will not do anything, typical of them.

Different issues. Take a look at some charts around dividend payment time, you can see a drop in price or a rise in price of the different issues as people buy or sell things to get the best possible yield. If you look at GM investor relations - bonds they have a list of a bunch of the GM...

GMAC credit was never downgraded. Last time I checked we were talking about GM, not GMAC. GMAC is its own animal.

I think the premiums on something with such a long expiration date would be a fortune.

Still get no data. System status page says to log back in as the issue has been corrected, the issue HAS NOT been corrected, all I get is a damn yellow MARKET DATA icon. FIX IT ALREADY IB

I think I started a thread here a while back about XGM, GMW, etc. GM Senior Notes. They were all trading around $18.25 when I bought quite a bit (I bought XGM) and yielding about 9.25%. I have sinced sold them as they increased in value quite a bit. Right after the downgrade you saw lots of...

I do agree with what you have said in terms of the need to understand what you are doing when using the TWS.

I am sure he has had some worthwhile posts in the past as he must be very knowlegeable, but telling a customer to go read the manual is a joke, and nothing anyone says here is going to make it OK to tell a customer to RTFM.

What is with this guy blaming other people / institutions for issues people have with IB? You are seriously telling a client to go "read the manual"??!!! Are you kidding me?? You do not do that with clients. Sure, reading the manual is a great idea, but you are in no place to be telling...

QT is a "front end" type application that can use data feeds from a lot of other brokers. I do think your best bet is to use the IB Demo account with QT as the front end. You can track your trades, positions, and P&L in the interactive brokers demo account screen. QT Does not provide data...

What data provider are you using? Who is your broker? I would reccomend IB with QT so you can feed it real time data from IB. If you are interested in testing for a little while you can set it up with IBs demo account. (You can use the demo account with QT either way, even if you are not a...

I think it was a very active week for currencies despite being the end of July. Great moves all week in usd/eur on the data.

If you are unable to speak in complete words, go somewhere else.

Terax TEX, some industrial equipment maker. Look for a nice bump monday morning and then wait and watch it find its way into the double digit loss category. SBL, INTC come to mind................... Do yourself a favor and buy something decent before earnings next week. (Im thinking...

You want like a Broker or like an options analytics suite? Go with IB if you just want a simple and cheap broker for F/X Futures or cash.

The margin requirement is way higher than the premium on this sale. Calls are selling at 1.85 as of this morning (they changed again for some reason overnight), with a multiplier of 100 i would imagine total premium would be $185? Why does the margin check state a margin requirement of over...

So why does the last price keep changing? Went from 1.85 to 1.90 1.95, 2.00, and 2.05 and now back at 2.0. And can you explain the margin requirement? If I am only buying and not writting anything why would this margin check give me any number?
