    Is it too late to qualify for 60/40 taxes??

    Jokes aside your CPA really does not understand even basics of taxation. 60/40 is in the tax code and applies to all futures trades whether you want it to or not. Call Bob Green at greencompany.com before you end up getting r@ped by the IRS in an audit. Yes it will cost $1000 but that is...

    Is it possible to separate an IB account into many accounts for different strategies?

    Is there a way to get a third user? Does it make any difference if it's on the FA master account or on a regular individual account?

    My Automated Trading Strategy (3Years+ of Historical Data) Please Critique!

    http://collective2.com/ You can sell your trading system signals there. I am not satisfied with a system with a profit factor of less than 2.0. 1.8 can be OK under some conditions but under 1.5 and you generally break even or worse after slippage and if the market changes slightly....I'd...

    IB TWS dropping some data connections

    This is the third time I've noticed this since upgrading this past Sunday. Randomly certain symbols no longer get data. A re-start of TWS fixes the problem. Haven't seen this problem with TWS in a long time.... Today it was GLOBEX currency futures, they stopped getting quotes as of the...

    IB Connection Problems

    Maybe those ISPs are blocking the TWS port? Used to be port 4000 if I remember. Maybe they flagged TWS as a peer to peer program and are actively blocking it? Wouldn't be the first time...

    Trading Cotton when it's limit up/down

    Can anyone clarify the rules on trading cotton futures (or any limit up/down futures with ICE)? For example when it was limit up the past few days it was my understanding you can place a buy order and you will wait in line behind all the other buy orders until enough sell orders come in at the...

    IB to charge IRA fees

    Should have clarified that this is if you want to trade futures....stocks yes those are free. Is the $30 you'll pay in IRA fees more than the cost savings at IB over Schwab or ETrade commissions for a year?

    IB to charge IRA fees

    Come on guys ... if you open an IRA with almost any other broker you are forced to use a trust like Millenium or Equity Trust and pay $300 or more per year per account. $30 a year is nothing....

    IB pro market data + other sources

    Per IB they charge based on the advisor not the accounts. Not sure what you would be seeing that says otherwise. For confirmation you can call their Pro Services department (not their main CSR group know little about pro services). See this thread...

    NinjaTrader with Trading Technolgies does not support Brent ICE futures contract.

    Can anyone recommend a broker that supports TT and also supports trading foreign futures? I'm talking less common stuff, things like chinese futures, malaysia, etc. You guys seem like a more knowledgeable group than you find elsewhere on ET...
