why not go to their website and check it out? yes the do, by the way.

Definetely a IB thing. not Globex or other brokers.

In college someone said I look like MCA from the Beastie Boys! I'm too lazy to change it.

IDSL 144/144 I don't know the answer to your limit order being filled question but if there was a offer at your limit price the computer just paired you guys up. I would check the CME website and see what the Globex procedure is and then you'll know if IB screwed you or not.

I've gotten much better executions with patsystems J-Trader than with IB.

tymjr, Who is your clearing firm(ie.Refco, Gni, etc.)? thanks

Do you get charged a $459 quarterly fee for patsystem J-Trader like I just did?

To clarify, I'm not saying that your trade results are luck. For example two traders could have each shorted the nasdaq this morning, but trader "A" covers for a 10 point profit while trader "B" covers for a 40 point profit. Same rules for both traders but trader "A" didn't follow his/her...

actually your post is fine here. It's just I doubt you'll really get the help or idea sharing you want...

Cody, I think this is really the wrong place for the type of information you are asking about. You probably won't get much help here. here are a few places that you should check out for starters: http://www.traders2traders.com http://www.purebytes.com/cgi-local/swish/swish-cgi.pl...

you could probably use GNI through any of these http://www.gniinc.com http://www.gni.co.uk http://www.efloortrade.com

Nice equity curve! look into different position sizing algorithms and you should be off to the races!
