I don't want to see other stuff there, just my running balance or Net Liquidation Value. I don't run Trader Dashboard because I'm trying to minimize what's shown in TWS, and that just makes the TWS screen more crowded than it already is. Yet, having your NLV show at all times ought to be a given...

I've tried that with the last 3 TWS versions, and it still defaults to DAY.

Female impersonators are everywhere these days. :D

ditto to everything illiquid stated. Forex is harder to trade than stocks. There is alot of smoke and mirrors in forex. Of course, all markets are manipulated.

Thanks for pointing that out. I spent a few hours compiling that list to choose from. Something tells me that I should choose GNSS (Genesis Microchip), though I know that sector has not done well lately - and you know what they say, stocks move up not only based on their value, but the sector...

Why be so sarcastic to a new poster? Perhaps women really do imagine and talk too much. :) Sorry, ElectricSavant. This is the first post I've read from your wife. Maybe she really does have balls, as you stated in another post. You may want to do something about that. :(

Which of these Stocks would you considering Buying for short-term profit, and why? WRLS - Telular RMBS - Rambus ITRO.OB - Itronics WAB - Wabtec DXYN - Dixie Group GNSS - Genesis Microchip CLS -Celestica GM:RNVS - Renovis LBY - Libbey NIS - Nissin XMR - Morgan Stanley DLK -...

Just search for any broker located in the Bahamas. I'm sure they will be more than happy to TAKE your money. :)

1. I'd like my balance or Net Liquidation Value shown at the top right of TWS. Right now, I can only open Account window, resize it to show my Net Liquidation Value, and pin it at the top right of TWS. Not a good solution. 2. I'd also like to be able to set all trades to default to GTC...

I opened a forex account with Oanda long before I had an IB account, and I maintain an account at both places. Yet I prefer to trade forex with IB because of tighter spreads, better security of funds, and I trust their quotes better. I could be wrong, but I feel that I get more slippage at...

You can scale at IB, but must scale larger. Future spreads on IB's forex(GLOBEX) are less than Oanda. I'm trading them now.

Since we already pay broker commission to enter and exit a trade, then why is the spread charged on top of that. IOW, why don't brokers just charge the spread, and make bid/ask the same price? It seems that most brokers charge spread plus commission fees. Is this just the cost of doing business...

I am trying IdealPro one more time, and I'm also having trouble with stops working. I would prefer to trade gbp/jpy futures on GLOBEX, but GBP/JPY futures are only offered on EUREXUS, and I hear that EUREXUS has low liquidity. Further, I don't even know what data package to subscribe to in order...

I am so sorry that some people like Drawdown are so immature and disrespectful. Allow me to apologize for them since they obviously don't have enough sense to apologize. Best wishes to your aunt. It's admirable of you to help her.

Since your aunt is 83, she may not want to put the money in anything long term. Therefore I'd just put 80% in short-term CDs, splitting it between 1, 3, 6, and 12 month CDs. The other 20%, I'd suggest just putting it in a money market account.

Thank You for that explanation. Tell me, if I enter a ZS contract on Globex at night and leave it open for the next day, doesn't the pit-trading price of S affect my ZS trade? It appears to. Also, are you saying that we CAN enter pit trades? If so, then can I trade S (soybeans) during pit...

I have used a Dell cordless mouse and cordless keyboard(made by Logitech) for almost 3 years with no problems. This mouse is much more responsive than a corded mouse. I'll never go back to a corded mouse. However, I also keep extra batteries on hand for my mouse(even though batteries last a...

If that is the reason, then I do not understand because I thought I'd read where NYMEX was getting more into electronic trading. Of course, it would not help much if IB only offered COMEX at night like the ECBOT grains they now offer. I hate having to enter a grain contract such as ZS at nite...

Just curious, why IB does not offer NYMEX's COMEX metal contracts in place of, or in addition to, ECBOT metal contracts? Is it because ECBOT offers more volatility in metals than NYMEX? The reason I'm asking is because metal prices are usually quoted from NYMEX and NYMEX seems to offer more...

I just came across this website, http://www.collective2.com/cgi-perl/newsearch.mpl?want=all&session=26751072156317127865572343145486115 Has anyone used any of the systems on that website with success? If so, which one, and what were your results? Thnx.
