Thanks very much for the info. I've browsed over, completely, their website. It seems thinkorswim is a real thing. Professional. and competitive. I'll open an account there mainly for options trading, and to get the free book.

def, "After that next on the agenda looks to be the ability to trade multiple accounts via one workstation" Multiple accounts via one workstation is ok, it may benefit. But one single account, no matter via one workstation or several workstations, to trade all available...

Certainly it's impossible/not allowed to login to the same account (username/password combo) simultaneously, no matter on the same PC or seperate PC's, and no matter it's the standalone or the browser-based version. But it's ok to access as many IB accounts as you have (or allowed access to)...

Funster, Have a look at this link: http://www.cme.com/risk_management/clearing_house/fees.cfm and this: http://www.cme.com/risk_management/clearing_house/equityandclearingfees.cfm Note that the $0.65/round-turn is only when an equity member has executed an order for his/her own account...

Wow! Year long beta! I doubt CQG delayed or even dropped plan to offer HK data. That's why I detailed above my beta experience. It's unusual, because I'm not charged HKFE's exchange fee for more than half a year. Absolutely not CQG's style. Last year CQG seemed to focus on development of its...

Well, maybe the new fees are not so much insignificant. Welcome that some fellow traders benefit from it. But since IB already breaks the single 1.95 rate, how about re-evaluating the complete options fee structure to implement a real significant one? As The Knight put it, "We started out...

Does it mean SONS & KM will go bankrupcy in the near future, like ENE? - a joke.

ISE's "Complete PMM List": Adirondack Electronic Markets LLC (Bin 3) Banc of America Securities LLC (Bin 6) Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. (Bin 5) Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Inc. (Bin 9) Knight Financial Products LLC (Bin 1) Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (Bins 8, 10) SLK-Hull...

"We started out paying the same rate as you and had it dropped to .75/ct. Still expensive" Don't know why the retail self-directed online options trading cost still remains such a sky-high level (too much exagerated, admitted). Thinks $1~1.25/ct with minimum set between $2.5~7.5/transaction...

Scott J., Any plan to broaden eSignal's Asian market coverage? Many friends agree that the past 1+ year eSignal improves significantly its data quality and stability. Along with 3rd parties such as TS4/TS2000i, NeoTicker, OptionVue, etc., eSignal has achieved a level of usefulness. Our common...

As to charting and time & sales for Hang Seng futures and mini futures, besides CQG/NET, I recommend FutureSource ProNET Plus, if not the three institutional feeds mentioned above. FS ProNET is moderately priced, but resource-intensive, though I don't think that an issue. The H2 last year I...

I temporarily ceased CQG/NET subscription last summer due to jobs and cost consideration, besides I have sole access to a Reuters Terminal. I'll resume subscription later this Spring. Really like CQG's No-Term-Requirement policy. Before that, I had had access to HK futures (free of charge)...

allesim, >what is pd? period >are you using esignal? how to select 30 tick? mc-a-98 already said he's using tradestation2000i fed with qfeed(through metaserver). www.DynastoreLight.com works well too. TS2000i is directly compatible with eSignal. If you are interested only in the...

At first glance I'm shocked by IB's new lower options commission rates. But, wait one minute! Let's zoom in and I conclude that (at least to myself) this is the LEAST significant price slash IB ever announced. Hey! Even the deep OTM options with 10 days to expire trade above .25. My...

"international futures as well (Australian and Japanese)" CQG/Net or FutureSource ProNET, if not Reuters, Bloomberg, and Moneyline Telerate (was Bridge Telerate, was was Dow Jones Markets, was was was...). Don't know why you consider trading Japanese futures (unless you live in Japan, but...

Me too. Want to see how the author explains the "perception & deception" of options. I'm much interested in this book because the options part of CQG's manual references it several times. Why not McGraw-Hill Professional reprints this book, or the author prepares an updated version? Or an...

Positive development to IB's recent "Continual Enhancement". I like this responsive, evolutionary approach. Now we have the daytrading margin rate for futures. Hope by end of this year, the "rolling two weeks" will come to an end and a SPAN-style multi-currency futures and options on futures...

"as for the icons, i believe the next release will revert to the original ones." But def, I've got accustomed to and increasingly like the new icons. Icons on build 742.2 are both fancy and intuitive.
