It seems like the only time IB reps show up on these boards is to defend IB from some sort of attack, when nothing is at stake. Now when there is widespread evidence of outages for the past several weeks, no one is around. Before they realized that they have a problem this morning I was told...

The problem with IB Smart order for NYSE stocks, is that it doesn't route to regionals. shneed

I second that. Loved those fast executions through NITE and HRZG when they had them. Sometimes when some MM showed 100 share size, NITE would fill you for up to 2000 shares instantly. MyTrack also payed for their mistakes. If there was a problem with an order they would eat it if you lost...

I wonder if there are any exchanges that trade equities throughout the world that allow shorting on downtick. shneed

Richie90, The language of Brazil is Portuguese not Spanish. The best place to live in is Brasilia (much less crime than anywhere else), all the politicians live there. shneed

It is ironic though that you can be viewed as a professional trader and pay professional trader fees just for opening an account as a corporation or such, while at the same time be told that you are just a retail customer and cannot have access to bullets. shneed

I hope they don't do it, but if they do, it could mean that SSF's will become more liquid. shneed

Whatever commission schedule the firm used to charge clients for the trades, you would receive 50% of that. shneed

What to f..k are you talking about? I've had IB for 99zillion years and never a problem with stop orders! I have a Ph.D. in quantum astronomicsphysicsalgebra and can tell you for certain that your order was your own fault! This is IB bashing! Go back to your own country! Oh wait, this is...

It depends if you are trading 1000 share lots, then you are probably churning. On the other hand, if you are trading 5k to 10k per position then its a different story. shneed

Could be they will tech you basket sector trading where your 200 share limit will be extended to a group of 3-10 stocks. You have to keep in mind, that the most profitable strategies will be provided (profitable to the firm). As long as they teach you the right way, and you make money that's...

If when I first started trading I was offered an opportunity to sit next to someone making money who would teach me how to trade I think that the last thing I would worry about is how much commission I was being charged. Even today, if someone offered me an opportunity to sit next to a trader...

although I don't advocate day trading coaches, unless you are sitting right next to someone who is an actual trader himself, try out realitytrader.com. These guys in my opinion are heads above everyone else, and they are realtime traders too. shneed

Don, Is this legal? I thought only brokers can collect/solicit money from people. shneed

taodr, At around 8:45 am I start reading the news on individual stocks on Briefing.com, then I take a list of stocks that I've isolated and put it up on my L II screen to see if they are reacting to the news. Then I go to Island .com and look at which stocks are most up or down pre-market...

def, Now if you could only offer bullets and routing to regionals and NASDAQ for NYSE stocks. shneed

No, My strategy is very simple, and I've used it with both NASDAQ and NYSE stocks. Everyday I trade completely different stocks, those that have news on them. From that bunch I pick only the ones that are most down (points) or most up pre market. Then I trade them based on the trend for that...

The advantages of trading with IB are enormous. Especially if you are just starting out, and not just commissions. I got very spoiled trading with them. No wire fees, if you request a wire by 12, you get it the same day. No SEC fees (when you are doing volume, especially higher priced stocks...
