Agree 100%. I've looked into it years ago. Believe me, NOBODY there in makes big figures. Maybe some can barely live off it if they are good discretionary traders as well, but that's all. That NQoos stuff (or sounding similar) is BS at the same level (but differently) - I had the...

Very likely that the ES will see 1300 today. The cash probably as well.

Everything looks good so far, two issues regarding commissions come up: 1. The AG's comm is relatively high ($6 per side), indeed. These are small contracts and $6 would quickly eat up one's PnL. Maybe IB can re-think this, for me, say $4 - $4.50 would be fine. However, it probably...

Looking at it from the legal view, you would get the 100 price. In case of arbitration, if the broker buys it back at 95, maybe you would get 98 or so. However, considering you are probably paying $10 or more per RT (what firm ?) I would move the business elsewhere. If you trade 1 or 2...

Now if they only would offer electronic trading in the big spoo. But I think it's not going to happen. Instead, they will probably just delist it when they close the floor some day (I doubt they will keep it open forever for SP/Eurodollars options and a few AGs only)

LOL this is ridiculous. Terror to blame for everything. If you still believe in 911 and cannot see what's really going on, you deserve no better than to loose your $$$ value. Disgusting to see Greenie serves as some kind of figure head to calm down the capital.

Nobody here looks at Nymex seat prices ... !? They were quite steady at 3.7M and plunged hard the last days, now bid 2.7M offered 3.2M.

Yep. I would have said NEVER yesterday but after today's *takeoff* of the WTI contract it's possible for sure. Any word if it's CL only or also HU, HO and others?

It would be better if IB adds offering the real BridgeStation (the "Plan B" thing). It's a standalone program, Equis has it for $135, so it is probably not much more expensive

I'm not a QCharts customer, but that sucks indeed, big time. ESignal was the worst data provider I ever dealt with - full stop. However, I looked into the QCharts platform (Continuum dll) and seemed technically far more solid than anything ESig ever came up with.

lol the usual goldman upgrade. guess who's still long. goldman deserves ZERO credibility, same story as in 2001

Ok I did some more study: There was a 3 month period last year (June - Sep) when it also happened quite often. I hope IB reps will give some insight. Does it have something to do with the market making banks being arb'ed against the futures ? (If so, why can't IB just "kick out"...

no fractional pips. first, I think they are not supported, but if this was the reason, the market could be locked, but never crossed.

anyone ?

I doubt it is a connectivity issue. I think it's probably intended, for these reasons: - I appears to happen more often in critical/fast markets - The quotes continue to update when the market is locked (That means the comm. line to the bank(s) are intact. However, it may be there are...

I had some minutes and did some quick research on the phenomeon: Please open the attached screenshot. The chart is a tick chart of IdealPro: EURUSD of the last 10 days. It contains ~160000 ticks. The green line displays the current spread. It's range is from -0.0001 to 0.0004 (-1 =...

I posted this yesterday into another thread, but it seems nobody noticed it there. The issue is going on today, so I better opened a new thread, maybe someone from IB can comment.

Important News / Question : Today I noticed (for the first time) locked and crossed markets on IdealPro. It happened in EUR/USD several times today. When I saw it first, it were two Market Maker quotes which made up a locked market (19 M vs the 4 M not executing). Ok, I thought maybe...

The first screenshot is a bit hard to read. Here another as gif:
