Asset and good will impairment write downs. They do sell games and I'm sure that's the majority of their inventory, but they also own Simply Mac, ThinkGeek, authorized AT&T wireless reseller (Spring Mobile), and some other misc branded stores. Their physical game sales have been dwindling with...

I've not tried it, but being that most Chromebooks are on the lower end spec wise, it's probably not going to work out well. You'd need at least 8GB of memory. Most Chromebooks seem to have 4GB. Google Pixelbook has 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage, which makes it the most powerful Chromebook...

The market of 2002 is not the market of 2018, but I'm incredibly skeptical of someone claiming to make $20k/mo on a $60k account. If they were doing that, then why is their account only $60k? Either they're full of shit, or they just got started and were incredibly lucky their first month and...

IB has a tool to show you how many shares are available and from how many lenders as well as rates. There's a small amount of historical data there as well. I'm not sure if they publish who they coordinate share borrowing with (I've not seen such a list). Anyway the tool can be found in the...

These rules can be most easily applied if you keep the following in mind: "losses don't count if you don't realize them".

You could be seeing out of order (late) trades showing in your data feed (the trades didn't necessarily happen in the order you receive the data of them), orders that were cancelled and you didn't get the update fast enough, etc, but it actually shouldn't happen that a trade through happens...

By buying Time Warner, they are competing with Comcast's customer service after all.

Please clarify what instruments you're interested in and exactly what "delivery statistics" you wish to have as I'm not sure based on your question. You say "S&P 500 Dow", but S&P 500 could refer to the futures (ie ES), futures options (ie ES options), index options (ie SPX), ETFs that track it...

I'm assuming you're not a developer that utilizes open source technology. A lot of people when they build software use tools generllay called package managers that will download other software requirements for you. So say I want to use some library that will render animated gifs, but it turn...

I'd double check the API port and the allowed hosts settings. Perhaps they got reset to defaults and are disallowing connections from your script's IP or the port is different from before. File -> Global Configuration -> API -> Settings Specifically "Socket Port", "Trusted IPs", and "Allow...

It's almost always better to close a long contract than to exercise it. As such, I think your risk of assignment is low, but it's non-zero. I would invite you to look at bull put spreads in the future. Another way to look at this is that you're soon to be the proud owner of NFLX shares (with a...

I explicitly stated as such in the post you quoted.

I'm not going to say the best VPS servers are in the US. Maybe they are, but I think you should pick based on where you're connecting to (IB US vs IB Switzerland vs IB HK for examples). Furthermore, you should pick which IB servers you're connecting to based on what you're trading. If you're...

The best acquisitions are ones in which they are mutually beneficial. In this case, I believe MSFT backing GH will bring more companies to GH -- mainly those who are reluctant to use technologies provided by lesser established companies. Additionally, if MSFT makes it easier to link a project...

Being that you're referencing hetzner, I'm assuming you're not in US and therefore probably not connecting to IB's US servers. You should probably state which server location you need to connect to. Here's my personal observations on the company's you referenced: 1) There are so many typos on...

This. I primarily trade US equity options, so while I saw the bulletin in TWS, it had no material impact on me. Sure I have some CME products on my watch list (ex ES, CL), but they're for reference (I don't trade them). Closest items relevant to me would be SPX and VIX options, but they're on...

There is a way to follow specific users, but if your goal is to effectively bookmark a thread, you can click the "Follow This Thread" button in the bottom right of a thread. You can then see threads you've followed here: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/watched/threads I do agree that being able...

After you master that, you can furthur improve your system by simply also buying the low of the day. It would only lose on days that look like /\ true?

I looked in the support -> tools as you said and I see the fine print that you listed (this fine print isn't available in TWS). I'm skeptical the fine print is accurate especially considering the way it's written doesn't have the rate break down on the progressive scale. I mean you could...

Where are you seeing that the total rebate is greater than 1.42%? Here's what I see: Interest on cash balance = BM - 0.5% (BM currently is 1.92%) = 1.42%. This is paid on balances over $10k. You have to pay a fee to borrow shares for shorting. The lowest fee I'm seeing in TWS right now is...
