May go with a month sub for reduced rate. I'm getting tired of watching a few stocks as their paint dries. http://www.marketgauge.com Will report back with results if I try it. Does anyone else use it?

Quotes are actually small bits of data: price, volume, time stamps, ECN & MM info, etc (text/numerical data). If your charting/broker package is on your PC, all the pretty pictures are generated by the computer and graphics info is NOT sent down the 'pipeline'. Graphics files, voice chat...

(Refer to my previous post) Fry's ISP just expanded to 18 more states. :) See their website for details. http://www.frys.com

Since MM's play games and try to 'take out the stops' by quickly dropping the bid, causing fear and selling, and then bringing it back to market levels, why would you want to place a stop order, especially if you're staring at the computer, know this game, and have disciplined mental stops...

Hey, Waggie. Yeah, I think charging tax on shipping is B.S., too. Tax on a service?? There was a time when service was not taxable--only 'physical' things/products. Shipping isn't a physical 'thing' (unless you have a 'thing' for the UPS driver...). Also, not too long ago, ordering out of...

No, but huge quote delays and variances with the bid higher than the ask. Ask 'frozen'. :( IB knows about this, and I sincerely hope this on-going problem gets resolved soon. Manual order entry has been costly for me, and I hate resorting to market orders......

I'll use the term ignorant, rather than moron... I can understand why the term 'refurbished' conjures up bad images, but at Dell it shouldn't. I ordered an Inspiron 2500 for my folks last year and was completely shocked--this thing might as have been brand new! It was shipped within 5 days...

I called last week and actually had an enjoyable exchange with tech support for ~20 minutes, regarding delayed and crossed quotes. Previously, I was used to terse and not-so-cordial conversations. Hope this is a trend. I read somewhere recently that IB was focusing on improving Cust...

Yikes! I listened to Ben and Xsquawk samples. If Ben doesn't have a heart attack or lose his voice box soon, I'd be surprised. :eek: I can't even begin to comprehend what he's saying. Guess you have to develop an 'ear' for it... BTW, Ben's last name is spelled "Lichtenstein". He can be...

(Preface: From a day trader's perspective) I've been trading with IB for two months now. I don't really care about the about getting the NAZ COMP from IB, as I get this from another source. However, what I do need are reliable quotes for the stocks I'm trading. def mentioned that IB is...

Chisel: Same here, right after the Geenie announcement. Quotes (stock) were behind e-signal and even Scottrade. The bid was higher than the ask at times (what they called 'crossed'). Then a little after 3:00 ET (approx), the Market Data screen went blank. I was frustrated and called tech...

Fast: Been using IB for two months now and the answer is yes. You can do it both ways, too. Two orders in one click. When you catch the reversal point perfectly, it puts a smile on your face! :D Vas62: I had also wondered where the "Sell Short", "Buy to Cover" buttons were at first...

Good find. :(

I just wanted to check with others who use IB. I have experienced two problems, one several times, the other just today. At the open of the markets, I have noticed on several occasions that bid/ask quotes were off--the bid would be higher than the ask on all equities on my market data screen...

I've been using Fry's ISP service for 1 1/2 years. Very reliable. Some features: (copied/pasted from http://www.frys.com) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >Unlimited access online. >Support for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux systems. >Free live 24/7 customer...

If you're day trading and at the computer all day, you may want to consider the affect on your eyes now and further on down the road. Of course, a flat panel is better than a CRT, but a digital flat panel is better than an analog. I cut and paste now: "Since CRT monitors require an analogue...

I appreciate your honesty, GG. You'll figure it out, young man--time is on your side. :)
