Quote from jimrockford: I have no idea why this type of order is so severely limited at IB. It may not be possible to isolate some/all of the advanced order types from the route-away functionality, and they don't want to incur the additional charges for routing away (understandably). It...

Sorry - I don't see that option. There is an option that sets the default value of the "Email Notification" checkbox at the bottom of the posting form, but this setting doesn't affect the notification of new posts to subscribed threads, right? That is, I have the option set to "no", but...

They do correct mistakes sometimes without mentioning it. I don't think anyone relies on their stock/futures quotes. If it's important (like a wrong earnings number or CPI number), they usually correct it and also post a new headline saying they corrected it.

Can someone comment on why this is the business of the judiciary committee?

Indices (e.g. SPX) and their derivatives (e.g. SPY, SP/ES futures, SSFs, etc.) all move around a little, depending on who's buying/selling size where and when. Arb programs keep them within a few ticks of each other. There are also reasons for slight premiums/discounts in the relationships, like...

Cool. That'll work. I would like to suggest that the option be available to not email me when new posts are added to a subscribed thread.

I'd like to be able to "pin" certain threads to a list on either the Home page or a "pseudo-forum" (i.e. "My Threads") at the top of the Forums page. I normally read new posts on only a handful of forums, but occasionally wish to watch a certain thread on one of the forums I don't normally read.

Is anyone getting spammed as a result of registering at the Barclay's site? Seems like targets that are probably worth a lot of money to high-end advertisers, managers, etc.

Quote from trada101: 1. Remove that silly SSL checkbox on the Login screen, all logins should be SECURE! This is not an email account, it's one of the biggest financial accounts I have, why would there be an non secure way to login???? In general, removing options is a bad idea. It often...

The OP says it was a "happy IB customer", so it's hard to imagine why they would jump to the (ridiculous, unfounded) conclusion they did - an argument against their own interest. I don't know how you leap from rule violations such as these to a comparison with Refco, who became insolvent because...

Advice about what? And why would it be something that they would bother trying to entrap you into?

Is it my imagination, or is the ratio of wrong to right answers increasing? :-|

I think the point is that the latencies involved in deciding which option exchange has the best price aren't within two orders of magnitude of your suggested 10 seconds, and aren't significantly different than the decisions involved in stock routing. It comes down to a few hundred cycles of a...

Quote from jimrockford: Here are both a quotetracker line chart, and an IB line chart... It's hard to see, but the QT lines look more "fuzzy", making me think it's doing what I suggested earlier - drawing solid trapezoids instead of lines. Seems like a neat idea. Perhaps Jerry can confirm if...

+9.7 was not correct at any time this morning, but that's not surprising - Briefing's futures numbers are wrong some times. Also be aware that the "change" values for different correlated instruments can be wildly different from each other because of differences in their reference points. The...

Quote from just21: 0.75 cents per contract He means $0.75 per contract, which is, unfortunately, 100x more, but still cheap (I think). :)

Quote from jimrockford: QT line charts instead summarize prices by including the extreme values in each summarized interval. I don't mean the high and low of the entire chart; I mean if the chart is broken up into 5-second intervals, QT will display the high and low occurring within each...

Also, your order needs to be sent as an "opening only" order. This is not necessary. If it's sent a reasonable amount of time (~2 minutes) before the open, you'll get the opening print if your order is marketable (and tick-qualified for short-sales). Giving it a TIF of OPG only ensures that...

Quote from bouncy: i am getting a mixed signal here: the above post says IB basically would charge me $5/1000 shares for 3M a month, which isn't close to the $3/1000 shares quoted earlier There are two rate plans at IB. $0.005 is the all-in rate with no additional fees or rebates, and no...

Quote from AeroKen83: In IBs TWS, there is a feature where you can pre-open re-route SMART orders which enables you to execute an order 3 min before the bell, That is not what it does. The re-route feature takes an order that you have entered pre-market, which is currently live on an ECN...
