This question is for anyone that trade NYSE stocks through IB. Does IB have access to NYSE DIRECT for 1099 share auto-ex, and if it does, how has it worked for you? How is the fill speed? Thanks shneed

I often wondered why certain stocks trade 100's of thousand of shares with a 1 or 1/2 cent spread, until I found out that some prop firms encourage their trades to sit on the bid and sell on the offer or very close to the bid so that they can get the rebates offered by the ecn's. Let's say you...

Same here shneed

Has anyone gotten filled by Timber Hill on any stock yet? shneed

Don, Do you still have to be licensed to be a remote trader? Thanks shneed

peace, I went on their website, I didn't see anything there regarding level 2, do you know if they offer level 2 data feed for a price? Thanks, shneed

Does anyone know which company will provide data for QT that will enable level 2 quotes, not just Island open book, but the actual level 2 screen? Thanks, shneed

To those who haven't seen what auto-ex can do, you will be amazed. Pretty soon everyone will be complaining why Timber Hill is no longer executing your orders.

Well, everything is working fine, I got a call from England, and found out that my Sun Java is conflicting with Microsoft Java, had to disable Sun. Everything works fine, except, they are too expensive for the service that they are providing. Most likely this is my last month with them. shneed

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention one more advantage, don't need 25k to daytrade. shneed

DEF, If I see Timberhill making a market in a particular stock does that mean that the stock is elligable for auto-ex? And if so, will IB provide a list of all the stocks that Timberhill makes a market in, sort of like the way of finding out whether a stock is shortable through IB right now...

felichka I apologize, my email has been down for the past 2 days, anyone in Southern Florida using Adelphia Comm. is having these problems. The firm is a canadian broker in Toronto, if you still want the name I will email you back when my email is back to normal. They offer prop prop...

DEF, Several questions, if you don't mind: In the destination menu of TWS what does CFCO represent? When will TimberHill auto ex go into affect for NASDAQ stocks, how do we know which are eligible, how many shares will they execute? Thanks shneed

easy, It's hard to figure it out, since on the days that I lose money its mostly because of overtrading and therefore commissions, is it better not to pay commissions and be profitable even just a little and pay 40 % of that or to lose money on the down days vs to have to pay percentage on the...

I have a question to pro traders on this thread. I have an opportunity to start trading for a prop firm, and the deal that I was offered, was either pay commissions (something like a penny per share) and keep all the profits, or pay no commissions (just a $1 and change per 1000 shares plus ecn...

I ordered the service last Friday, it hasn't worked yet, support keeps saying that they are having datafeed problems. shneed

Mine is 753.6, maybe that's the reason.

Big problem today with the standalone version, called IB, they told me to swithch to the web version and everything was fine after that. shneed

tom, Watcher fired all the people in its employ, except for tech support, their only customer is Heartland Securities in NY, they just came out with the new version of the software. I've never used them before, just trying to get a feel for them. Thanks, shneed

tom p, Thanks a lot for your response. Do you know if the hot keys on watcher are programmable onto a separate keyboard sold through some vendors, I know that you have to press the "shift" or "CTRL" key to place trades, that's too slow in my opinion, if you can program a separate keyboard for...
