Here in Canada it was too difficult and expensive to set it up that I could wire funds to IB. So I just got a bank draft made out to Interactive Brokers, wrote my account number on it and mailed it to them with a deposit slip. I mailed it on Wednesday and it was in my account by Friday.

Why don't you check out the Netherlands, I believe the traders only get taxed about 2% on their gains. If you come to the US you'll have to pay full income tax on any short term gains.

I found a nice used 20" Hitachi monitor at the local computer store for only $150 Canadian. Most of the computer stores in town here have used monitors. When I'm no longer "almost" atrader I'll buy some nice big LCD monitors.

Yes, I would agree, the big problem in Canada is the foreign content limit for our RRSP's. The only way to make our markets competitive would be to get rid of these limits. I received a call from Questrade today. He was very nice and offered a deal to trade shares on the TSX for 1.5 cents a...

What I wanted to do was to run IB TWS on one computer and then run two applications from the data on two separate computers. For instance I've run Ensign and Medved Quotetracker both at the same time on one computer from one TWS program. I just want to be able to run the two charting programs on...

Does anyone know how you can run Interactive Brokers TWS on one computer and then access the data for something like Medved Quotetracker from a second computer on a network?

The majority of people in Canada oppose any kind of integration with the US. They believe that integration is something driven by big business so they can take advantage of Canadians. Who's being taken advantage of right now though with $400 commissions? I've read that if Canada started to...

Take a look at Australian commissions in comparison to ours: http://www.stockbrokerguide.com/australianstockbrokers.htm If I wanted to buy 10,000 shares of Air Canada today at $2.00 it would have cost me $200. In the US it would be about $10 in Australia it would be $25. Does anyone have...

If you look in my post just above yours you'll see the quote from the IB Staffmember: "RSP accounts will most likely not occur for awhile"

It looks like Interactive Brokers will soon be expanding into the Canadian markets but they won't offer RRSP accounts for awhile. Here is a recent quote from IB's discussion forum: "Tim O'Meara IB Staffmember Username: Ibtim Post Number: 30 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Monday, May...

I was searching today for any broker in Canada that would trade large amounts of Canadian shares for any kind of a reasonable price. The only thing that came anywhere close was the possibility of Questrade expanding into the Canadian markets. I talked to them on the phone today and from what I...

Would anyone know if the "30/34 System" is working in the past few months for the S&P Eminis? I've seen test results for 2002 where it used to average around $100 a day profit for one contract. I found a Wealth Lab script for the 30/34 System here at this site...

I found this site where you can download metaserver for Interactive Brokers: http://www.traders-soft.com/metastock/msrt/index.htm Do you or does anyone else here know how to get it to work to set it up to feed IB data to Ensign?

Best wishes and good luck from a Canadian here. I think it is an honorable and respectable thing that you are doing by going to fight in this war. As in any war there are a lot of controversial opininions about it. There are a few leftists in Canada just as there are everywhere that believe...

I just sent you $30 by paypal to sponser you for another 3 months of Woodie's club. Good luck with adding the speed control to your Autotrader!

I've checked out a number of trading simulators and even made my own simulator but in my opinion there's nothing out there that's as good as your Autotrader. I really like the ability to record and playback data. I would urge anyone here on Elite Trader to try out this software. I'm not...

Your new playback feature sounds great! We're going on vacation tomorrow but strange enough I'll actually be looking forward to the end of it. Then I can get back home and try your playback! I wish you great success with your program. Will you also make a feature that allows you to speed up the...

Thats true, Interactive Brokers doesn't give you historical data. However Neoticker will allow you to import historical data files. I think you can save your own intraday files as well with Neoticker but I'm not sure yet, I've only started to use their software.

I was just trying out your "Autotrader" and I think it's and excellent program. I really like the replay feature. Have you seen the replay feature in Ensign Software. There are tick by tick intraday files for the NQ and ES futures available from Ensign that you can play back at up to 10X...

croc1964, Have you ever thought of making a replay feature for your futures-trader? Have you seen the replay feature in Ensign Software. There are tick by tick intraday files for the NQ and ES futures available from Ensign that you can play back at up to 10X normal speed to simulate a trading...
