Zep ..... You are looking at the avg cost per share column on the IB trading page. right? That value includes the comm. of 1 $. There was no screw up in executing your order. The price you paid was 58.05. If you had bought 50 shs at 58.05, then IB reports 58.07 in the avg cost per sh...

I agree. Really, ive had no problems with any of the builds since i started trading last April. But...i only do simple equity trades. Nothing fancy.....yet. I just have too much to learn and get more screen time just watching. I run several apps with TWS and i never seem to go below...

I run Tws from the IB server. HP Pavilion box....AMD XP3200+...512meg mem...WinXP(Home) with SP2. I shut dwn all the options stuff, market scanner, alerts,alarms, complex order types and Book. After clking the "apply" button javaw.exe reduces its mem footprint to about 20meg...

There was a woman trader ....mama .....sombody??? I read a few of her posts back in the summer maybe. Think she was waitressing??? Also i think she may have started a journal. Traded stocks i think. Seemed like she had a pretty hard life. maybe someone can tell us? ............ rj

NoWorries .... maybe you could tell us who you are trading with and what's the commish deal?? good trading to you .... rj

Not a bad idea imo. Ive only been trading 4 months and i will sometimes open a position with only an odd lot to keep my risk down. Long or short i cant tell any difference with getting the orders filled as opposed to 100sh and bigger orders. Doing the odd lot thing sometimes has been a...

Lino. Ive been with IB for three mo. and made 'bout 250 stock trades. I always use their Smart routing. Im a new trader and so i almost always open a position with just 100sh lots...or even less. Sometimes Smart will get some of the shs from more than one exchg, even with my tiny orders...

Do a search. Others have had something to say. ............ rj

Aegean ........ i believe this feature is already available under the chart config. It was working a wk or so ago...at least during US mrkt hrs. Seems like i remember playing with the settings then...??? maybe somebody else knows more. ............ rj

No, its not just you. IB has made progress with charts with the latest TWS....but ..... I agree with the two items you mentioned. It would be a BIG help to implement your suggestions asap. ......... rj

Yep. Thats the one i had seen a few days ago. It doesnt seem to have any intraday price action criteria that the real time version of the Yahoo scanner has though. .......... rj

Have you looked at the Yahoo screener?? Its free with 20 min delay. Try the java version. Also, there is a real time ver. bundled with other stuff but ya have to pay after 2 wk trial. Not bad for the $. Also, i saw one even better(??) somewhere....maybe in Cnn or Msn.... im gonna try to...

wont need a haircut for months.:( ......... rj

Im a new trader, daytrade and swing. Equities only. Ive been trading 4 mos. Ive been using IB the last three. 28K capital with very strict cash management which means i usually only have no more than about 12k in play at any moment. Lots of experimenting, learning. Im UP.... ~515$ as...

Here's another one, more sophisticated, than the scam i posted earlier here. Just a couple of yrs after the American Express guy got nailed another programmer got caught accumulating the calculation round-offs occuring in accounting processes at some large financial corp. It may have also...

I hope you can get on some C Swhb forum and inquire of other clients there. You might ask them to ck back more than one yr to see if something was added-even one penny. Yrs ago some guy- a programmer i believe- at American express was adding one to five cents or so to the bottom line of...
