    Anyone from Vancouver, Canada?

    I have a meeting in the area and will stop by if I can. Depends on how long it runs for. It would be great to see everyone again.

    The Chinese one is great. The one that tops it (in my mind) is the one with the MBA... http://www.fedex.com/us/about/advertising/tvads/mbaqt.html Fantastic. :D

    Anyone from Vancouver, Canada?

    Has anyone met one another before? Just curious. If any one of you who is coming tomorrow sees a 6’2” Asian guy with really short hair who is wandering around like he’s lost, please grab him. It will be me. Thanks, Duke

    How would you trade this

    IMHO, how about right below the the line you've drawn? If you want to give yourself a little more slack how about the low/open of the day that popped in early August? That way it looks like you still have a good 3:1 reward/risk if it gets back to the top of the channel. Just my $.02.

    Anyone from Vancouver, Canada?

    Just tried to make it happen, but they don't take reservations. It should be okay, especially if it's sunny since they have lots of outside seating. Keep your fingers crossed. In any case, I was there last week and it's a fantastic spot. Prices are pretty damn cheap given the location...

    Entering symbols into TWS

    Does anyone know a quick way to enter symbols into IB's TWS? Typing in my watchlists every morning is getting quite tedious. (I know I'm really lazy) Perhaps importing a list or altering a TWS file? Thanks and apologies if this has been covered in a previous thread. -DTK

    How fat are you?

    Really? I seem to be doing a pretty good job of sustaining it with my current schedule. Getting angry makes for bad trading so I try not to do it. I hate aerobics. Girls that do them are okay though. Your secret is safe with me. Good luck in the Olympics. I've never watched Mortal...

    Trader Nirvana???

    Taxes aren't that bad. If you register them as capital gains you only have to pay on half of the amount and cap gains tax is pretty low. You can't write off your mortgage, but you don't get taxed on the profits when you sell your primary residence. Cost of living is low compared to most...

    new option cancel fees for IB

    I don't get it... What loyalty? I'm just price and service driven. Find me a better deal for the type and quality of service IB provides and I'll switch. I don't think I've ever been "crapping" about any of the things you mention.

    new option cancel fees for IB

    Lots of useful information & lots of crap in the 21 pages. My $.02 – IB is still great, cancellation fee or no cancellation fee. I am happily letting them be the conduit through which I manage my current income and my retirement money and that’s not going to change anytime soon. Def...

    What do you call yourself?

    I know you are a man of few words, but at least throw in a couple of extra letters so it reads, "lucky bum".

    Need help and recommandations from Canadian traders -

    I know it's late in the thread, but I will throw in my vote for IB. The commission argument holds, but I still like the reliability and the price given that I usually scale in and that means that it would end up being more expensive at another broker anyway. Just one Canadian's opinion (even...
