The judgement can be downloaded off the US District Court - Northern District of Illinois web site www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/ . Look up recent opinions under Judge Bucklo. Case number is 01-CV-3456.

Reviewing the judge's ruling and other available documents, I think Cathedral needed another law firm. Apparently they presented allegations without any specific examples of the alleged actions. I my opinion, the real issue is anti-competitve behavior within and between the exchanges...

Download PingPlotter from www.pingplotter.com . There is a freeware version. This will allow you to graphically monitor the path hop-to-hop from your computer to the destination. Look for a high percentage of missing packets along the route at peak times in the day. Missing packets indicate...

The PSE has always been the best of the "floor" exchanges. They are usually good for 20 contracts on autoex. I second metooxx's comment; however, playing somewhat fair is probably what got them in trouble.

It isn't unusual for the an option series to be limited to closing orders only if the underlying is being delisted by the NYSE and will trade on the Pink Sheets. For example, ASW now ACLNF went closing only effective April 3. I have also seen closing only declarations in some bankruptcy cases...

Historically, the option markets have enjoyed an exemption from the firm quote rules due to a lack of “technology” for implementation. The SEC finally approved 34-43591 Firm Quote and Trade-Through Disclosure Rules for Options ( http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/34-43591.htm ) which was...

I think the earlier posts are right-on. Why tie up capital hedging the stock with option position. The cost of the options will make any gain unlikely. The trades clearly didn't go your way so get out and put the capital on a better horse. Good luck.

I have 4 ViewSonic VP150s and 4 Samsung SyncMaster 770 TFTs. Both work well in trading applications. The ViewSonic LCD doesn't have a standard mount like the Samsung VESA interface. A standard interface will save you money if you ever want to put together an array. The 15" ViewSonics...

No need to fix anything but the policy statement above. Anyone who has traded IB's system probably avoids the BEST option. Otherwise, you end up crossing the market with your own order. I don't tend to fix things where knowledge gives me an edge. I was one of IB's largest retail option...

With all due respect def, IB's routing system never hits the best price if the ISE is available. This has been the case since the ISE has come online. Possibly the problem is coupled with the annoying bulletins IB puts out every time a new ISE option series is opened. I know that IB is a...

I usually have a number of GTCs working with IB and other brokers. I do have to police the IB orders more frequently that my other brokers. Are you sure that this is a problem the exchanges want to solve? They are getting increasingly aggressive with respect to anyone other than a MM trying...

I've used manuals from Bob Green www.greencompany.com to do my taxes. I'm sure there are other sources. To use mark-to-market for 2001, the declaration had to be made by April 15, 2001. The profit/loss from trading was rolled into Form 4797 not Schedule D in tax year 2000.

"I don't know what I am missing, but I got the router and tested it on RealTick, disconnectin one of the connections mannually (pulling the plug out) and RealTick was able to reconnect to the other WAN within 15-20 seconds. Connection to the terranova order server took as long as 45 seconds...

I have used both brands in my workstations. I prefer the Appian products due to configuration flexibility. I have one workstation with three J-Pro cards. You can expand the system as your needs grow. If your application is limited to trading, I'm not sure the speed or memory will make a lot...

aldrums If you ever want to go to a dual ISP configuration, PPOE should not be a problem. Each ISP's modem should interface with its own router. Most routers will emulate the PPOE software on your machine and each router needs to have a seperate gateway address. The routers are connected...

I can't see the value of the router either. All of my applications will detect loss of connectivity within 30 seconds and attempt to relog-in. If I switch over to the other ISP in the intervening time period, my applications will re-establish themselves. I suspect your data feed will act in...

Can US citizens trade equity options in Europe? My IB multi-currancy account seems to be limited to European equities only.

I have run both DSL and Cable over the last year on a NT4 trading platform. I considered a number of configurations and ended up using two Asante routers with different IP (gateway) addresses hooked to my office network. In my workstation, I use one NIC assigned two IP addresses and two...
