Any more unused stackables floating around out there?

dell has them till thursday i think at around $580 shipped.

A few minor gliches here. I had to log out and then in several times. Not as bad as some days lately.

When I started with Echo there was a secondary platform offered in conjunction with the primary. This was apparently a back-up, although it was only a quote tool and never reached the order entry stage. The package was institutional in nature and, I can only assume, quite expensive. Since...

If you want to commit some money to it this product will serve your needs: http://www.motosat.com/

IB's roots seem to be international in nature. I'm not surprised to see them opening up foreign markets before they dig into the dregs of the US pinks. Completely agree about size and pricing. There is a big risk here of overcomplicating the pricing model however. ECN rebates and the like...

He also says you should only buy something cheaply because there is a catalyst coming which will cause that cheapness to be recognized and properly valued. What is the change which might galvanize the Nikkei? Will it be a devalued dollar, and a flight to quality in Japan? Without a catalyst...

You're being displayed in the market in real time. The guy making the market doesn't want to give up the spread, that's his game. Be thankful, you're a player because IB and the new exchanges allow you to be. At least you aren't being displayed like this after trying to hit active...

Nitro have you spoken with Michael about Active X? Even with all those Bangladeshi programmers at his disposal I think they had issues there, and substantial ones.

Here are some concerns posted by Kaye Thomas from Fairmark Press: http://www.fairmark.com/traders/partners.htm Alternatively, I wondered if possibly since under these Prop arrangements the entity is considered to be the "trader" then possibly the members might not be for tax purposes. Can...

With regard to flow-through entities and the treatment of disbursements to the trader or partner: Have there been any recent cases or personal experiences of the IRS challenging the status of the individual's trader status? When the entity is considered to be conducting trading as a...

Its a lot like value investing. If you believe in the trader then buy the dips. Hopefully your manager is not a dip-shit.

Elder alludes to this in his new book. He calls the 2% risk the "sharks" and the cumulative effect of a string of losers the "piranhas." His advice is to stop when the "piranhas" have eaten 6%. This is too conservative for me, but its sage advice.

Holy Crap! I had no idea a man this sharp could be whipped! Guess it happens to the best of us.:D

Ken you're referring to the expat exemption which is now over 80K. You can't get that while living in the states, even if you are pulling your "salary" from your own little Bahamian or wherever corporation. Currently I'm an hour north of Seattle in the Jan Juans. Perfect place imho. You...

What about Honk Kong futures through IB? The feed is free, the commish fair, no?

Normally I would ignore this, but I won't be subject to a cheerleader with a bias minimizing valid concerns. Uptik and myself have provided Echo with plenty of positive press on these boards, both through posts and private messages to prospective traders. If we say there are concerns, don't...

Fairly consistent quote problems for me too. I'm on the Sterling platform (EchoPro I think they call it). People on the front lines at this firm are first class, and really can't be faulted. I'm getting a bit pissed lately tho at the escalating costs and decreasing software reliablility...

I plan on attending. Glad to see the interest from the boards. Meeting ET'ers will no doubt outshine the vendors which I assume will be displaying the same ole'. We should definitely get an after-hours meeting spot figured out. Any locals know of a good one?

60 ms from NW Washington to servers in AZ (Comcast). I've seen 0 ms across Washington on light fiber courtesy of Bonneville Power Administration. This also included bandwidth of 15 mbps. This probably translates into something like 15 ms across the US if the connection were contiguous.
