I am looking for someone to do my taxes and help me with electing mark-to-market for this year. Has anyone used these guys and have any feedback (good or bad) or have any other recommendations? I tried talking to a regular tax preparer and I had to explain the wash sale rule to her, so I'm...

I got filled an extra 300 shares on an 800 share order. It wasn't a big deal this time, either. I noticed it right away, sold the extra 300 for about even, and traded the rest the way I had planned. The extra 300 was executed 30 seconds after the first on NASDAQ (is that SOES?). Also, on...

Has anyone else ever had an order routed to BEST get filled twice? I am 99% positive this happened to me today. I was long 800 shares at 10:00 (I was just too involved and didn't notice the time). When the market started to tank when the consumer confidence came out I exited my position...

Tradelog says it now handles wash sales (I didn't elect MTM for this year), does this work well? Thanks, Johnny

Neil, That's a lot of work to show your layout, and I still can't see it very well. Send me your e-mail address and i'll just mail you mine. If anyone else is curious, do the same. By the way, I just did a print screen and saved it as 16 colors and zipped it and it made a pretty small file...

Neil- Let's see it! I'd like to see what others are doing. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.:D -Johnny

I've asked them to up the windows per page limit. Hopefully in the next version. If it bothers you guys, please let them know! Also, has anyone figured out how to chart a Nasdaq Trin? I can get it in a quote board but that's it. Neil- I would like to see what they have to say. I've...

There's something nobody has mentioned here. I haven't looked into it since last year, but from my memory the greatest advantage is being able to write off more than $3,000 in losses in one year, which you cannot if you don't. Otherwise, you have to carry it forward into other years. Is this...

airspeed, Please let me know how the comparison goes between realtick and Nextrend. I am using Nextrend now, but started to look at realtick when I noticed the Level 2 quotes were about 1 second behind my Datek streamer feed (my backup, I trade with IB). I am trying to determine if it is...

ddefina, I did know that, I just wasn't watching close enough to see who was at the ask (it was a sell stop) when it triggered. I wasn't watching it that close because I my first one seemed to trigger perfectly (earlier in the day). I wasn't staring at the level 2 / TOS looking for ECNs, etc...

Turok, I just started using them. Usually I enter a stop limit away from my actual stop as a "just in case" computer down, etc. Today is the first time I started letting them trigger just to make sure they worked how I thought. One triggered when I expected it to, the other sat as it went...

I hate to start another IB stop order thread, but I have been chatting with IB customer service for 45 minutes and they just don't understand the question. I know about all of the bid 2 times/ask 2 times stuff. I just need to know if it makes a difference which Exchange I route my stop...

Does anyone have a formula for NASDAQ Trin that works? I've tried the one they include, but since there is no volume in the ISSQ (advance/decline), it doesn't work. Or am I missing something? Thanks again, JPB By the way, I tried the solution from Elie in another (old) thread and could...

Thanks MM, It did seem much better today. JPB

Hey all, If any of you are using Nexttrend, do you have any of the following problems? I'm trying to figure out if it is my connection, computer issues, or if Nextrend is really this bad. -Quotes are about 1.5 seconds behind Datek feed (my backup), and about 1 second behind IB. -Locks up...

I finally got my G400MAX AGP and G450 PCI working stable with Windows NT. Here's a link that helped me fix my problem: http://forum.matrox.com/mgaforum/Forum1/HTML/006942.html Also, I noticed they were getting really hot and locking up. I added a fan and it's been solid since. Good...

I've been reading this board for some time, and decided to check out IB because of it. Well, I just opened an account there and was reviewing some of the documentation before I fund it, and came across this, which seemed a little strange to me. Please tell me what you think. from...
