Hi there, has anybody dealt with IB as a business client? Like many people I am satisfied with the pricing and tradable markets yet unsatisfied with the service. Thinking about founding a legal entity to trade my money like e.g. trading as a LLC. I wonder if one receives any better treatment...

Well, I could reach them. Unfortunately you are correct: there is still no way to display cancelled orders. He had to look it up. I clicked on day order instead of GTC - my mistake. Would be such a useful feature... Thanks for your feedback though!

@bermondsey @HobbyTrading : Did somebody find a solution to this issue? I'm trying to find a cancelled order in order to figure why it was cancelled. In addition IB had an issue a couple of month back and almost all GTC orders were cancelled. Would have been a great help to check the cancelled...

Stumbled upon this one but don't know if it is any good: http://spreadautotrader.com/ Doesn't TT have the capabilities you are looking for? I thought that is their specialty...

I think the pain described here is due to the invisible outcome. One can see the money made by trading but not the social/economic benefit it produces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_characteristic_theory Core characteristics of job satisfaction: Task Identity: The degree to which the job...

I agree with a lot of what you say. Regarding certain topics I'd argue differently. Broadly speeking I don't think there is a way not to trade/invest. We do it whether we want to or not. If you take all you money and put it under your bed then that's a trading/investing decision, too. Doing...
