"Options are not technically subject to the SEC/NASD daytrading rules. However each house can apply the rules as they see fit." [TM Direct] See this thread. I think that the email reply I received from O-X was saying that NASD has jurisdiction over the brokers, not the exchanges, so NASD...

Oh, never mind that. DEF's just grumbling about pro-O-X comments being posted on his employer's site. "Fee, Fi, Fo Fum" :eek: Can't really blame him; he knows which side his bread is buttered on.

FX-T, if you're addressing that comment to me, well, I think that's what I said: "my equity options business is going back to O-X" I was already an O-X customer before I became an IB customer.

Originally posted by saschabr with these low commish, how would you want to equip you trading help desk with a competent real traders staff, if one of these guys costs always > 100k/year ?? Sascha, if I understand you correctly, you're saying, "It's not reasonable for the customer to...

Could someone please give me an example of how this could happen? Aphexcoil, the date I most frequently see referenced is Sept/Oct-2001. Bidmasterx, TechAnalysis -- most of the "expert" commentary I've seen says that the actual pressure for PDT rules wasn't about protecting investor, but...

I've said nothing to dispute that, and wouldn't. After all, there are reasons I too became a customer. There are legitimate criticisms to be made of the trading experience at IB, but I don't think anyone complains about the costs or the fills. But that's not what I've been posting about in...

btw, fyi, it's "den-I-grate", and "ad nause-A-m". :eek: :D :p

I'm not trying to promote anything except a reasonable level of consideration for customers. I'm citing O-X only because that's the only basis I have for comparison -- and a pretty telling one, at that. I've never seen anyone making the kinds of complaints about O-X that you see on IB's own...

IB example #2 . . . ----- Original Message ----- To: <help@interactivebrokers.com> Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 11:30 AM Subject: why can't I "Close Position"? I hold one position, an equity option spread currently valued for less than $100. I can't "leg" out of it due to margin...

Now, an example of my experience with O-X: this email was a follow-up to a chat session where O-X corrected an erroneous trade for me -- AT NO CHARGE. [Current IB customers, can you imagine IB doing this AT ALL?!] ----- Original Message ----- From: <info@optionsXpress.com> Sent...

First, a recent thread from IB's boards. [There are *lots* of people on EliteTrader's boards, and on IB's, who tell of similar experiences -- and worse.] Posted on Thursday, October 17, 2002 - 02:56 pm by "asdfasdf": ----------------------------------------------------------------...

"I am guessing the reason why OX says no PDT rule is that you are not opening a stock margin account. IB has you trade options from a stock margin account . . . OX can never offer options and stocks together because of that." If IB wanted to badly enough, they could segregate the accounts...

O-X also told me today that they can now trade spreads completely automatically (no manual intervention on the floor) at ISE *and* CBOE . . . [I've munged the email addresses to foil spammers.] ----- Original Message ----- To: OptionsXpress Customers Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002...

Here's the confirmation I received from O-X today. Of course, I'm sure someone will say that I'm secretly connected to O-X and I fabricated the whole thing . . . -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 9:01 PM To: OptionsXpress Subject: NASD jurisdiction issues...

Copied from IB's boards . . . Posted Friday, October 18, 2002 02:51 pm by "Switching-Back": -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No PDT rules for options. That's what they told me today. http://www.optionsxpress.com $1.50 per contract...
