Sorry, none that I know of. Just market data, and no you can't get access to TWS at the same time. It would need to be a seperate account.

You can set-up a second username from your Account Management Menu, under Account Administration.

Yes. Organisations are considered to be professional by the exchange. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/fees/professionalDefinations.php?ib_entity=llc

You can access IB through Mobile Trader and Webtrader, neither of which use Java. However, you cannot interface to either of these platforms. The only solution is the FIX CTCI. You can get market data through this. This is a suitable solution if you are very active.

I strongly suspect it is your ISP. Do you ping and traceroute when you lose connection to us? I've been in Singapore this week, and I had clients experiencing problems with TWS on Monday and Tuesday. After screaming at "IB reliability", I checked that everything was okay with our servers...

late apex is correct. In our IRA accounts you can only trade US dollar denominated products, thus, you cannot trade Spot FX. I believe you can trade the currency futures.

I presume you mean margin rates? The best way to find it on our website is using the Search function. This is the page which details the margin rates: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/marginRequirements/currency.php It's basically 2% (which is 50:1 leverage) for all...

milstar, I've no idea whether the futures or the spot would be best to do that strategy. Probably the only way to find out is to try it. Frequency of quotes, I'm not too sure either, I guess futures would be more frequent because there are more participants. -No problems with the speed...

milstar, I'm not too sure what you mean by the win spread tactic. If you mean by playing market maker on both sides of the spread, then you could do that with either futures or spot. Although futures would probably be easier to get filled as there are more market participants...

It doesn't show customers stops. What more do you want from the depth - it will show the various quotes from the banks at the time. You only need depth if you're trading more than 3m an order, as that is usually the minimum size displayed at the inside market. Other than that the market...

Milstar, Sorry but I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. I'll give it a shot: -Margin on currencies is 2%, except for JPY and HKD which is 3%. -Minimum trading size on IDEAL-Pro is $25,000, which at 2% means you need $500 in margin. -You can set-up a limit order with an attached stop...

Yes. Only US stock and option trading is covered under the PDT rules

milstar, Please note that IB's FX is as a pure agent not as a market maker, so is more similar to HotSpot than Oanda. Our FX is just like an exchange, and works on price/time priority. You can also interact with the market, i.e. you could play market maker. An agent platform has greater...

I agree with what you say about the economy and about the media trash can. I'd also say there are some good opportunities in the Shanghai market, however the thread was about picking-up China shares while they are at a bottom. I was pointing out that the Shanghai Index does not tell the whole...

Most of the best Chinese stocks are listed in HK...

I expect that they were confused with the terminology. It's possible that someone would not know what "oso" meant. With IB you can set-up a limit order and then attach a stop, or attach a braket order. If you attach a stop. Then when your original limit order is executed a stop will be...

You can place those orders with IB. E.g. You can send in a buy limit order and attach a bracket order, which consists of a limit order to sell (your profit target), and a stop order to sell (your stop-loss). The sell orders are only sent after the buy order is executed. The sell orders are...

1, 2 should give you execution times 3 should give you everything - time sent, received, executed etc

?!?!:confused:!?!? 1. Executions (TWS Menu: "View"), 2. Export Today's Reports (TWS Menu: "File"), 3. Audit Trails (TWS Menu "View") 4. Execution Tab (IB Webtrader) User Guide: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/usersGuide.php?ib_entity=llc

Sorry, that's not something that is likely to happen. I posted more about this here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=782655#post782655 IDEAL will remain the exchange for $1 - $25,000 traders.
