Is there a difference in leverage between the two?

Most people make up there worth and whether they have a job, otherwise most brokerages wont give you margin or accept you as a client.

I know a lot of people who complain about tws when they first start to use it, it has a steep learning curve. Once you do learn how to use it and it's features, it's one of the more robust trading platforms.

What do you mean, i thought i was using java 64 bit. Or is there a better way to run it? I'm running 64 bit windows 7.

Two questions, so your using windows 7 64 bit, make sure you have the newest version of java @ java.com. Second make sure standalone version is installed. Finally go to the tws shortcut and click properties. Change the target to the following by pasting it in. It should work...

I have a general question, say you get a point that your trading 100 million positions. Can you easily do it? I'm trading 10 million spots with ib, a bit of a hassle placing two orders, but I can't imagine what happens when you continue scaling up/ What do currency based hedge funds do...

I would suggest just getting a asus netbook. It's about 3 pounds, and you get a 3g modem and your set.

It depends on how serious the issue or bug is. I would assume that.

Sorry maybe you misunderstood me, I don't have a problem with the app process. My main problem is the fact that you must be 21, to trade futures, forex and most other trading products with them.

So I have been trading for two years futures and currency. I am 20. IB makes it impossible to do business with them. They only allow me to trade equities. I want to trade, futures, options and forex spot. Anyone have any similar problems with them? Any suggestion on a different broker?

Hey from 5:00 pm eastern to 5:15 the system goes down. That is considered the end of the day for most brokers. Since they are an ecn, they shut down for 15 min at rollover time. Your not missing anything. Some brokers don't go down, but they aren't an ecn.

If you can build a computer I would recommend you custom builder your computer. Expecially if you will need a really powerful machine to run 8 screens. I built mine with a barebone kit from www.tigerdirect.com .

Yeah stay away from Think Or Swim, when I had an equities account with them, i tried the forex side. What a pos, I had days when a major news announcement crashed the system, so stops and limits either went of later or were deleted. On those days so many people called that there phone system...

There customer service has greatly improved in the last 4 years. They even have a special trained cs team, so to improve relations with customers even more so and avoid past complaints. I would say they should improve leverage levels for forex, 2.5% is one of the highest in the market. Not...

They haven't beem doing much in updates for iswim, since they are now owned by td ameritrade. I think they will ultimately switch you to td's iphone soluiton.

I think to much negative press on Toyota has affected there stock and sales. I still think they make good cars, and that will show after they finish there recall and do some good advertising. It also doesn't help when two of your biggest American competitors are owned by the US government. I...

I'm have two guesses on why they wont remove it. 1. Bandwidth, they don't want you using up there bandwidth when your not on the computer, so if your not there at that time to change the log out time it'll turn of. 2. I guess for security so that the station isn't on all the time.

They annoying thing with the security is the card will let you take up to 200k in a wire. 500K with the keypad, I mean you think they would make it easier to get money out. If you want more you have to go a tedious 3-4 step procedure where you fax a letter, and a few other id forms to get your...

I heard a rumor that they will seize our ira's and 401ks like Argentina did to it's citizens to help lower the budget deficit. Oh yeah and all this talk about having a national health care plan like Canada, and there premier is coming to the US for surgery.

Don't worry at the rate Obama is going everyone will pay no taxes, it's just you will have to live of a minimum wage salary provided by the government.
