Haven't configured the dom. I'll look into it. Some of what I see is my executed orders in the dom.

When starting up the acct., the dom looks ok. But if I buy/sell, then enter exit orders, my orders are the only ones on the dom (on my exit side). Also, once my orders are entered there may be more than 5 levels on the dom, but the extra levels just contain my orders! So, I don't think the...

With IB's papertrading account (the one you get with a funded acct.) the dom doesn't work very well once you've placed orders.

So, you only have 50 million? What is this 5% rule? What is a foundation?

Why don't you have a billion dollars?

This is nothing. There is a story out of India about a 15 yr old, whose parents are both doctors, trained & licensed, doing a c-section. Mom and dad are proud of him, too.

COT is stale data.

Try an AON -- all or nothing -- order. Don't get into this situation in the first place.

I haven't been to Toronto since the 70s. Yonge street seemed to be where everything was happening. Stayed at the "Prince Somebody" hotel, which was rather seedy, but expensive, yet they did do room service with genuine silver.

Tax avoidance is a fine art, appreciated even by IRS examiners.
