    Autospreaders for stocks.

    I dont think ib requotes the limit order over snd over again. I believe that once your desired spread price is achievable it sends a limit order that removes liquidity and then sends a market order for leg number 2. This action is quite different from a limit order that is being requoted to...

    Trading SPY vs S&P Futures

    Biggest difference between the is not in commission savings or spread price difference as they are fairly similar, but rather the amount of money required to trade the same position size. To trade 500 shares of SPY ($113,000 notional value) you need to have 113,000 Dollars or half of that if...

    IS THIS feasible?

    Ok so after reading all this and understanding it a it better there is almost no way the consumer is going to get any discounts and in fact will most likely be paying more than the pump price to fix price their gasoline costs. There goes the idea of buying in bulk to get a discount. So the...

    IS THIS feasible?

    Ok I have a few questions... 1. does the wex card keep track of gallons used? I'm asking because when i use my credit card to buy gas all I see is the final price not gallons bought. 2. How much savings per gallon do you expect I can get? I agree with the others in that there is not much...

    Has IB ever acknowledged a technical problem with TWS?

    One time i reported a bug with their api. Basically it wouldnt let me send orders to some products. I reported it and talked with their programmer over the phone and months later i got an email saying it got fixed. Never verified as it became irrelavant at that point. But ultimately they did...

    Finding a broker in Canada

    IB has tons of 3rd party software. They are a really good brokerage for canadians in my opinion. Aaaand its available in BC. Their ui doesnt suck that much ( its very customizable) but like I said there is plenty of software that connects to IB so take your pick.

    Thanks for your detailed response. How much are you paying for esignal with delayed fees if you dont mind me asking? Hey a penny saved is a penny earned but in this case its 80000 pennies a month which can lease you a pretty fancy car.

    Trying to transition from full time job to trading. Having trouble with discipline.

    Jinxu, correct me if im wrong but your acct only has 1300 bucks in it... You cant quit your job when you have that little. Also why is everyone oggling at the 20% in a month when his balance is 1000 bucks. Anyone can pull that off. No offense but its just not significant on a 1k acct. Double...

    Who trades ONLY from their Smartphone? (Successfully...)

    Trading is so easy and effortless sometimes that it doesnt bug me to log in a couple times an hour for a min or two and put in orders. Plus the feeling you get when you make more than youve spent in the entire vacation is a pretty good one. I remember last year i spent a week in the caymans...

    My favorite way of phone trading is using an app like teamviewer or realvnc that remote connects to my desktop where the trading software resides. This is much better than having a native app on your phone as it doesnt sacrifice features and you essentially can navigate a multiscreen pc with...

    You are right about the chart being misleading. If you want to see the real trading range dont use synthetic spreads on ib and instead check out the es exchange traded spread for sep-dec. Youll see the moves are a lot less dramatic as they appear on the synthetic. Youll most likely never get...
