Yes, what's up? Looking at the chart only. We may think they are running stops. :D

IB unbundled pricing is very confusing. You can't get the answer even if you ask them. Perhaps they are confused at their own pricing too.

maybe they are waiting for people to forget this thread. maybe they are waiting to hunt us more money and delay the issues.

What's the difference? I heard some people call it uptick or zerotick rule. So what is the difference between uptick and zerotick rule. It apears it means essentially the same to me. I can't short at market. I can only short at best ask. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

From what most people comment here, it appears shorting stock is not attractive at all: * supply problem: not all stocks are available to be shorted * uptick rule: can't short at market * dividend cost: I need to pay if they give dividends. Still some people short stocks. Why? Shorting...

What're the differences between version 3 and version 4? Which one is better in terms of stability, functionality, autotrading capabilities with IB? Any comment? PS: I use IB.

I think all shortable stock has the uptick rule. Am I correct? That means I can only short stock at best ask. I can't take the best bid. Is that what the uptick rule means? Since selling futures/options do not have restrictions like shorting stock has, what's the point of shorting stock...

I know. What I mean is it probably doesn't work well. Does anyone use IBData2 and trade Wealth-Lab systems with it? Is it reliable? Please share your experiences. By the way, it appears IBData is the only product in the market which can automate Wealth-Lab systems. Are there any alternatives...

It disappeared once in the past if my memory serves. Now it disappear again. They may have gone bankrupt since they try to charge us on every trade, which I think is crazy. It is not a reliable company. Stay away from it.

OK, but how?

I think it only works to feed data. We can't use it to automate systems. It just won't work well.

Is it possible to autotrade a system in Wealth-Lab with IB as a brokerage? If so, how? What tools do I need? PS: Programming oneself is not an option. :(

Not every clause is enforceable in the eyes of judge. Does the wait time reasonable? Should we wait for so long just to close a position?

Good thing - it can be run on any system. Easy to develop and maintain (you just need to take care of 1 version) Bad thing - it requires more resource to run it. Slower than C++ By the way, do you think Tradestation is a good program (despite its bad brokerage services)? Which version is...

TrueStory, Tradebolt charges per order whihc is silly. The better bets are TradeBULLET and NinjaTrader.

Provded that we need a ultra-skilled programmer to code a successful ATS, how can we do it ourselves unless we are very talented too? It is just impossible to do it well.

I realise both TSIM+ and ZerolineTrader can do that as well. But I'm not sure how I can generate a text file for them to read.
