IB went down right on the open. OPG orders were self cancelling as they should, got 3 fills, and then quotes stopped, cancel confirms stopped coming in. All three positions were going my way, and I put in orders to close-orders did not confirm as received, but they filled ever so slowly. Got...

The Echo website states that they do not mark up ecn fees. In fact they give the Island rebate for adding liquidity back to the trader. I'd be willing to bet that they have simply not yet updated the instinet fee posted on their site.

So is that the only stock you trade with this strategy? What happened with your other stocks? Nothing makes money on every trade, and you are going to take the occasional painful hit. Diversification will ease that pain. I have had a couple of stocks beat me out of up to 75 cents in recent...

Medved quotetracker will quote & chart after hours, but only shows the current day's action. It receives quotes from Datek's streamer servers, and you have to have a Datek account to access it It doesn't have to be funded, I don't think. It may chart ah trades from other providers, I don't know...

3 fills on 13 stocks. 1 short 2 longs. got out of everything too early. net positive 37 cents (-1, +12, +26) all done by 9:45 The 1 cent loser is now a 15 cent winner, it went 10 cents against at its worst. The 26 cent winner is now worth 46 cents, and the 12 cent winner is now worth 25...

1 % (.5 % above, .5 % below) except for one low beta toilet paper company which I use .8 % (.4% above , .4% below). I wiped up 8 cents on that one today.

Netted 40 cents, 7 fills on 14 stocks, 5 long, 2 short shorts, 2 wins, both had home run potential. 66 cents net longs, 2 wins, 3 losers, minus 26 cents net Wouldn't have wanted to be filled long only today.

I also traded a lot of NYSE odd lots, you know, back when GLW was $300 a share. I never consciously tried to buy bid or sell ask, had now idea there was a rule, etc. I got some emails from IB about the issue, and then tried to get a wire out of my account and they held it up saying there was an...

but then you look at some that you got out of, and they kept going against, and going and going. It seems that for each time (well...maybe not EACH time) I get out to early, I can look at another instance where getting out made me look like a genius.

You CAN submit orders for listed stocks with IB for any quantity over 100 shares (101, 150, 275, etc). I do it every day, they are handled and filled by specialist just like regular round lots. Also, you can buy 100 shares, and then enter an order to sell an odd lot to close part of the...

ended up with 6 fills on 13 stocks. Serious multitasking- causes some premature exits- just grabbed a couple of small profits, pitched a couple of scratches, and then was able to closely monitor last couple of postions. only one long, 5 shorts. After commissions got the following results...

4 fills, 2 wins 1 loss 1 scratch + 40 cents after commissions Made sure I was all out before the 10 o'clock confidence number came out. Also tried scaling out of half position at a target and trailing stop on remainder- worked ok, increased the profit on one name, decreased it a little on...

AXP long 4085-4104, BMY short 4050-4025, 3rd is a little thin- don't think I'll name it.

I cancelled BAC when it was not open after 7 minutes and I already had 3 positions. 3 for 3, total net of 58 cents after commission. Put in orders on 13 stocks.
