winter, we do not talk about a stuck order here. I expect neither IB's nor any other CS to address legal/tax issues. But maybe we can get some information from IB mgmt or compliance, so it is done here and everybody else can read along. I noticed somebody else started already a topic at...

Users received E-Mails from IB regarding changes in tax withholding / W-8 Forms effective 15.05.06. I (and possibly others) would be very grateful, if someone, maybe the IB reps, could clarify what (legal) changes will apply that date. Unfortunately, I could not gather any information from...

could it be, that Bill Gates is no longer No. 1 on the Forbes 400 with MSFT = $24? When I look over the numbers, it seems so.

Point 1 is cruicial for sure - a lot will depend on if there is a reasonable software solution. Anyone remember the Eurodollars switch over ? Nothing happened before CME added spreading features, packs & bundles to the Globex frontend. Anything else is subordinate IMO - for the futures...

I think comparing any Merc Ag to CBoT grains is like apples & oranges. The grains are _far_ more liquid, the livestocks are a niche product after all. The public interest in these tends to zero . Moreover, as the BOT needs to make lotsa money and the grains are their 2nd flagship, I see a...

...starting August 01 http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/cont_detail/0,3206,1109+37875,00.html Nice news ! What do you think ?

I would really like an IB rep to give an answer to this question _finally_. The issue has been discussed extensively here in the past - but no statement from IB. The outcome was, that IdealPro behaves like a true ECN 98% of the time. However, it appears that liq providers have the...

Yes your assumption is correct, all EurexUS contracts dried up - in the order of their introduction. The bonds died first after trading 20-60k/day, then the RUI/RUT, Forex was a fiasco from day one. Think it will be unwinded / closed soon. The management made nearly every mistake known...

One of the real reasons of last days run is probably that it appears the ICE is now really taking over Light Sweet Crude (futures). The process seems exponential when you look at the last 5 days. Today volume in WTI was > than volume in Brent. This is ridiculous. If the NYMEX does not act...

I upgraded more or less just out of curiousity. I need none of the new features (except the spread trader in 858, let's see). Now I got 857 running, will stick to it for now.

Please do not flame/troll here, a serious discussion is going on. First, I described specific issues, Second, if you had an idea about historical and modern computers, you would know, that despite the 80386 introduced the 4 GB address space, the systems had usually memory configurations...

Adding to my initial post, I used the feature selector already to disable the RSS feed, Book Trader (don't need - use API), Alarms and many other items. Despite, I got the task manager screenshot I embedded into my post. What I think is problematic, is that this new build gets so...

First, I really love IB (however, the backend...) because they allow me to do retail what I was forced to do at a firm / local years ago. When you count everything together, the Universal Account, their offering of many markets and the commish, they are the best overall broker - except for...

That cannot be true ! Make sure you don't have a portfolio page (and check your pending page), scanner, or an API client running. It works! I'm out !

Are you kidding ?????? Just create, say, 3-5 pages in TWS for the several stocks (maybe grouped by sectors, "real estate", "tech"...) and have 20, 50 or 80 on each page.

Important question for opentick representative: How are you able to offer this service for free ? I remember you charged $100/mo a few months ago. So where is the point here ? Do you plan to implement fees in the future, when developers have spent time writing code or will this be...

Oh no. When I read many of these "recommendations" I feel like puking immediately... I really hope IB is reasonable & selective and they do not start to implement such kind of bullshit. It would only drive up IB's (and indirectly our) costs and clog TWS a little more. I am a...

that's an ~ average $20 USD/yr from every person on this planet. including newborn babys and hundreds of millions who do not even earn $20 in a month. and including people like me who did never click a google ad. judge yourself if that is possible

def, may you disclose the number of customers or accounts IB has?

Yeah. I like them for the physical delivery. my broker: 1-800-OSAMA
