would love to see bullets at IB. been driving me nuts lately trying to get short as the stock slowly ticks down well past my predetermined entry point . Was'nt aware these were even available to retail customers . will have to check out the brokers offering them .

Would routing thru Arca or Instinet have been any help. Thats what longbull told me I should have done .

Obviously at 9.35-9.50. Yes that was the time period and it was falling steadily. Did'nt see any upticks . Thanks all for your input . Will just have to accept that sometimes its tough to get short when you want to the most . Maybe our broker will give us access to bullets one day .

Today I wanted to short WSM if it broke 23.25 . when It hit that level I started entering sell limit orders .05 below the bid , smart order routing . Quit chasing when it went below 23. Is this the best way to short ?never got filled .

did the chat thing yesterday , said they would e-mail me back , after looking into it , still waiting for a response

went long DIA tuesday @84.24 , put in a GTC sell stop @83.69 DIA closed @83.16 . Should have been stopped out , but my account shows me still being long the shares . The GTC sell stop dissappeared on the TWS making me think the trade was executed and would have taken me completely out of the...

Double clicked on autotrader and it opened up . I tried clicking on the other 2 files that accompany it and could'nt get them to open .It keeps saying ( there was an error opening this file , file does not begin with %PDF). think its trying to use an acrobat reader to open it , could that be the...

I was able to download autotrader to my desktop , but can't seem to get it installed . It does'nt appear in my list of programs . Any suggestions ?

I will be supporting stop limit position entry in the future. Kewl , stop limits for entry would be a godsend to me , because i can't always watch the market in the early morning. Thanks for making this available to us .

i typically enter long positions with Buy stop limit orders and short positions with sell stop limit orders. (swingtrading). Then I set a sell stop or buy stop for protection in case the trade goes against me .Also a limit exit at a predetermeined target if the trade goes in my favor . Would...

the people i work with are bailing out of stocks in their 401k's , the pain has become excruciating for them . they never realized this could happen , you just buy and hold and make your 20% a year . i told them to sell at least a little, back a couple years ago when the trendlines went...

I noticed after logging in that it would take a couple seconds before the patially displayed TWS page would turn grey and become inoperable . So after logging in I quickly clicked on the little TWs icon in the upper left of the page and then clicked maximize . It went back to normal (full screen...

when I right click on the taskbar tws icon , move is not one of the options , just says rename , delete , send ,etc. Am using the standalone version . Things seem to be getting worse , now I can't even log onto any of my IB accounts . Not using API active X.

I am unable to enlage it , when I click on it , it won't do anything , Its that grey color where it won't let you do anything .

After logging in to one of my IB accounts it shows up practically all off the screen . Just the very top of tws appears above the start and icon trays on my desk top. Am unable to drag , maximize or do anything with it , can't even close it . My other account with them works fine . Believe its...

Thats great to hear , everything will be back to normal for me now . The technical support at Scottrade and Datek had no clue . Thanks again .

Read over FX Traders informative posts and did the following: settings>control panel >Java plugin >basic >unchecked enable java plugin ( disabling it) . Then was able to launch both Scottrade and Datek streamers . I probably won't be able to launch IB TWS now though since I disabled the...

Gateway 450 pent III 384 RAM 12 gig HD. Live in the city . The computer is getting outdated but I 've had all those previously mentioned applets working fine in the past .

As far as url's where I have problems with freeze ups , running Dateks streamer never launches anymore , get the errors on the page message . Scottrade streamer starts to launch but then everything freezes . Also can't run the browser version of IB anymore, stand alone version works fine ...

sometimes when I click to launch a java applet it will say, errors on the page , then it will say , done with errors on the page
