what we can figure out is why only some of the traders lose their settings and have to spend time replacing in the stocks and options as going back to a previous day/wk for example does not work. I lost connection four or five times today but it relogged itself in while other traders lost...

agree, with the additional problem being that you can only exit a positon with IB and not place a working order so you have to wait and hope you can get though when you enter the money or exit at a loss for safety. Puts a new meaning to the word ..risk management. IB has acknowledged the...

no it is not you, several of the traders here have had the same problem. We have had many of our working orders and gtc orders disappear during the day and after market. I believe that when we receive these interferences and shut downs that some where IB's software holds the invisible pending...

Why is it usually necessary for a trader(s) to post on ET the problems with IB and or its software. Why would IB not be proactive in posting these issues to help all. By your own ommission Ib has been working on this problem for a while now.? I actually have found IB fills great last few...

10 thousand dollars lets you play with Imillion- leveraged 200,000 account playing 5lot trades entry 20lot max with a 20-30pip average will far exceed your expectations. I personal find that trading the forex from 6-9pm and 6-730a.m the slowest but still profitable. trading euro/usd...

We find that nasdaq options execute okay a few seconds but that nyse stock options executions lag. w

this is not necessarily true as there are a lot of inexperienced people with more than 25thousand dollars. I know of several situations where people have lost 50 plus having no knowledge or the discernment of the knowledge in options and lost all within months. They allowed their emotions to...

Yes, the moment you place an order in the market you are fair game. Many times our traders get fills when the current bid/ask is not there...some in our favour some not..just par for the business w

You can place any size you like but will find you get part filled alot and need to adjust your price in some cases to get filled. I have bought and shorted 5k and not had a problem with stocks like ie dell, intc,nvda..but nyse good luck. I have had larger positions 10kplus and have had to exit...

re - above it also causes an accounting nightmare for the traders as when you print out your daily activity your true pnl is exaggerated and you need to provide additional footnotes to the accounting department re the assignment for accuracy as your new assigned position shows zero in tws...

Would be nice to have tws adjust the average cost of a position when you are assigned options. it makes it much harder to manage the position especially if you are part feed the options early. if one has an existing position and then is part assigned earlier or upon expiry and the new...

Yes, you just hearing about it now. It's called Mad Money starring Cramer.:D If you search deep you will notice that Goldman Sach's and companies must also follow the show (or own it?) as they are major shareholders in a lot of the stocks he pumps. Oh wait, I forgot he is/was an...

it does impact the value and net liquidation...for example... if the gaps between bid/ask are large premarket it only means you may not be able to trade that stock unless you get lucky with being filled inside that gap...which is just par for our business... the problem occurs once the...

I posted the post as is seems sometimes you get a faster response on ET. I was also on hold at the time and was looking to find out if others were having similiar problems as myself. I was not sure if it was associated to the slow execution that has been occuring as some ET traders have...
