Yes. I was the one who submitted the request and hope to get implenmented ASAP. That is why i advertise here to get some support

I know u can use SSF, but if we are talking about the Q's or the SPY, then i guess the only way to do it was just what i described

I don't think you can stop the government from taxing you by filling out the form. I think the law states there is a 30% tax withholding for non-US citizen from dividend issued by US corporation.

If i am a long term investor of a dividend paying stock, but i don't want to pay the dividend tax for non-US citizen. What is the best way to avoid it? The strategy i have in mind is sell it at 15:59 on the ex-dividend date and buy it back at 16:01. Is that doable? Is after hours on the same...

True! I remembered the REFCO FX guy told me the same thing 1 week before the FX division went under. Get the money out! You can always re-deposit after the dust settles

Is there anywhere you can find data for companies buyback? Is there any sites that is like www.secform4.com for firms buyback ?

Come on guys! Every month you get a free wire. That's ($25*12)$300 worth of benefit if you take advantage of it. Furthuremore you get the US data for free. I think is fair that they don't give you interest on the 10K with all these freebies. Besides they offer you a alternative cheap way (EFP)...

Thanks for the support. Hope more people will support it. Also, i really hope more people can at least think about investing in EFP. The downside to EFP is really slim if you think what IB is paying you for excess cash. You will do at least 25-75 basis point better depending on how far the...

U are not alone. I asked the same question when this thing was just born back a few yrs ago. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75784

USO is like an index of total return of crude oil since USO's inception. When we were in heavy contango half a year ago, the index losses 2-3 bucks every month when they have to roll. The 74 bucks you see would essientally equate what you will get if you keep rolling your futures position every...

I have made a suggestion on the IB feature pool asking for filter for EFP scanner. I suggest they add the ability to filter the month and non-dividend paying stocks. Please vote for it if you use the EFP scanner. The title is EFP SCAN FILTER Thank you!

I compared the data with 2 versions of TWS. The one that freezes seems to be the older version. The newest version seems normal.

Trust me! The customer rep will not tell you to close a position or stay in a position either way. They will just not say anything that are meaningful. All they will do is to read whatever is on their handbook.

I listend to u and i shorted NT. Now i am losing my shirt. hahaha

U wont get 4.5% if u factor in there is no interest on 1st 10K. So, 0.8 * 4.5% is the correct anwser

Why not just get rid of tradestation? That's what happened to me. The chart freeze everyday when the stock market really rock and roll at 9:40. I had enough of it and just go to IB. The chart is useless even if you can get it for free when it freezes everyday. So, if u are not using it for...

he can do it with 66 cars but just offset within 30 sec. which obvioulsy wont cost him 50K. The reason it cost him 50K because of the movement after thr fed meeting.

If he wants to know whether is a bug, he can always replicate everything on that day with a real account and cover quickly giving up some commision and little spread. It should of cost less than 200 bucks which is basically nothing compare to if he can prove a bug. This is actually a good deal...

Any torrent yet? I found a UK version with no seed.

Hey Jim, Do u know what the delivery process is like? Do the OCT expired right at 1600 and i dont have to responsible for overnight margin? I have all cash right now (say 10K) and 10K worth of EFP expiring today.I sold like 8K EFP today and I am relectant to sell 10K worth of EFP today...
