do you happen to remeber the margin requirerments? Thanks Paul

I am considering to open accoutn with IB to trade NQ's. My question is how are the fills? How long you usually wait for confirmation (IB)? Any pros and cons? Thanks Paul

I think that if there is a 'sunstantial difference' between QQQ and Nasdaq 100, you will get arbitrage as they should move in tandem. The only drastic moves in QQQ's that I have seen are situations when traders are using ISLD to get out in panic and ISLD is 5 cents away from best bid/ask...

I also had problems today getting fills on several occasions. I was hitting ISLD and I saw the quote for 3-4 sec and no fills. I was even givving up 1-2 cents and nothing - Strnge?

Is this a new version? I have best ECN routing in version 4/3 but it only displays one quote (for sells only???)

Just to clarify I was describing TS Pro (Internet based). TS 2000i has no problems related to data feed

I replied to many threads about TS. There are problems with feed and delays @ the opening. Sometimes also during the day. If you trade the open, TS is not for you if you are day trader and have .25/.5 profit objective TS is not for you due to potential problems with data feed. The most...

since there was no update for TWS yet I would assume they still do not work.

If we cannot exchange info freely, and express our opinions here that what is this site worth it?? People should be aware of all the comments: good or bad whether they are related to Ken or someone else. No censorship please!

I found the data feed to be not reliable. It lags behind the market sometimes 5 sec or more (an my connection is very high quality over 2G of bandwidht). It also sometimes freezes and then tries to make up for lost time. If you trade based on higher time frame 10 min or above you can perhaps be...

I will take any day extra 5c on 1000! If I can do it 10x a day that is additional $500. Not bad :-)

You should not have any problem. The wish that I have for IB is to show P&L for open positions and provide access to ECNs. Also, the page layout is sometimes a problem (at least for me :-)) When I have 3-5 positions opened and I want to close I need to find each page and the stock and close...

rtharp, I think Florida has also no state taxes.. but could you comment on corporate taxes.. do you mean federal taxes? I know you pay Federal regardless of location.. Thanks

now, that's the 'good' sign about the company :-( They are afraid of what people may think about them...

I think GreyBox (by looking at the demo) does not allow for trailing stops. You have to execute stop/loss yourself. PKJR

SP, what office are you trading in? If you have a moment, please send me an email. PKJR

vvv, I am not sure if it is true. I know at least one trader trading consistently using certain indicators. He is not making millions but 15-20k/month. I also use indicators for confirmations and support/resistance. I guess we all are different. PKJR

i agree. today in the afternoon it was really bad. It made me looking into other firms like Hold Brothers/ ECHO and etc. More users means more problems in the long run. TWS is not really growing in functionalities and more load on the system means only more risk if their system goes down and you...

def, when is the new version of TWS going to show up? Are there any plans on improving TWS interface? PKJR

mjt, how is hold brothers? Did you finally move your accnt to HB? If so, any comments? Thanks
