zas- I think this is called an iceberg order. hidden orders are different. OTE]Quote from Zastaber: I use hidden volume, it means the order is divided into several equal units. The first unit is visible in the book, if it gets filled then the next unit enter the book etc.

Go get yourself the best MBA you can and get started on the CFA program a www.cfainstitute.org

I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours. Found them good to hit/take bid/offer (more size than shown) without moving the relative orders on the book. Your turn....

Anyone? I'm feeling really good about IB about now!

Looking for a new broker I'm hoping for some input/recommendations for a new broker. I currently trade at IB and am reasonably happy, but always looking for ways to improve my buisness. I think it might be particuarally interesting if there is anyone out there who has left IB, that would...

I got 2600 Long (about half the 5k that traded there) at 60.00 busted. IB said ACRA busted the trades. Thought I may have made some good $$$, guess not!!! Sometimes life favors the other guy...

Looking for a new retail broker I'm hoping for some input/recommendations for a new broker. I currently trade at IB and am reasonably happy, but always looking for ways to improve my buisness. I think it might be particuarally interesting if there is anyone out there who has left IB, that...

Jamie, Your answer is no, this is not possible. Sorry. Scott

Hydro, Interesting question... If we were to build a model of how many day traders there are in the world vs. some other time in history, shouldn't it somehow be correlated to the number of "prop shop traders?" Since most "newbie traders" start with less than 25k, wouldn't the PDT rule...

Skalpz is infamous on ET......and obviously a bonehead who couldn't trade his way out of a wet paper bag. I say the loss would be a good (hopefully) first lesson for anyone who makes trades based on what they read on a chat board.

If it makes sense for the amt. of capital you trade, use two computers, one cable, one DSL. For me, it's a pretty cheap "insurance policy".

7th It's pretty clear no one here cares about your personal "issue" with IB. Many of us know IB well (me included) and trust them with much of our own net worth, without issue. I think we all may even feel better about IB that they don't open the type of account you've described willy nilly...

Best case he's promoting his website. Worst (more probable) case is he's worried this "client" in South America is gonna realize he doesn't even know how to open a brokerage account, let alone trade. 7 won't tell us where he's from, which means he's probably trying to hide it for some reason...

7th, I don't think you've ever answered the question about where you're located. Why????

Sam, Do you even have the slighest comprehension about warren buffett or his strategy with forex? your post would suggest you don't. For starters, you seem to somehow miss the point that his position is unlevered. If you're unfamiliar with this concept, it means when he says he has a...

KTM, Depending on how much you're raising, the solution might be very simple. apologies in advance if this has been mentioned earlier in the thread. If your raising several million and look to grow, you want a "prime broker". The prime brokerage biz is very competitive now days and they...

P.S. Comment should have read Streamer is great, when it works. Mine freezes up a fair amount.

I still have my IRA's with them. I just pulled a taxable (trading) account. Streamer is great. Quotescope is useless (for me at least). Listed executions couldn't be worse. Especially short sales in a fast market. Since they don't route to the NYSE, it's like getting in the back of a...

I checked out every health insurer I could find about 2 years ago. Blue Cross of MO was the best I found, great PPO and rates about half what I was charged when I had a "job".

I trade primarily thru IB, but maintain multiple accounts thru mass retail brokers like Ameritrade, Etrade, etc., for the sole purpose of a bigger short list. That way if I can't borrow it at one broker, I move onto the next, then the next. I often debate if it's really worth it for a few...
