I guess that depends on your version of marginal hassle. If upgrades only are a little time consuming and can prove via tests that it is better for all not just IB then you can debate the issue. But if they ugrades continually cause you financial hardship, not being able to exit, freezings...

One suggestion is that considering you are young you might look into term life insurance. ie 10-20yr. it will cost you a few dollars a year and provide you with coverage. I also do this with my business partners as each partner has their responsibilities to maintain. I am not sure where you...

I like your approach, nothing wrong with a debate or fun. In school the teacher us to make us take the opposite to see if we could persuade others to a side you did not believe in. You can almost always find data to support both. I have no problem with anyone posting as much as they like...

you may be buying on the dips but how much? that is the question. bulls are taking profits a lot faster than usual, well at least the traders I speak to or have daily contact with. In reality, has been good opportunities both long and short last few days/week. I am making about the same...

If you are only trading during the day then in my opinion you should not use stop losses. You can preset but not execute until the trade is at your desired exit or loss. Putting in a stop loss shows your level of commitment to your trade and it will be picked up by the computers. A manual...

I should clarify, I am referring to round trip executions / transactions.

I would find it especially helpful if the orders executed during the day could still be seen after 4pm. in your view account section. Presently they are not visible after 4p.m. This would give one a chance to print the days activity accurately. ie - it would be helpful if it expired as does...

Sir, I agree as I would hope others would that unfair or false stateements are unethical. with reference to your statement would you be so kind to as to clarify the following. you state 99% of the thread is about IB, the broker is not really down, and that the trader doesn't even attempt to...

I personally think it is very important that traders let others know that their broker or software has problems. To many times traders are given support or execution information of a circumstance that is not accurate and without others sharing we stand alone. This / these threads allow us to...

Squawk box a few days back after trading hours had the story on. You would have to believe his story to be factual to a large degree considering his claims and the court actions that will follow if he can not validate his claims. His story is not uncommon either. Funds/Banks shorting to buy...

I personally look to short the stock(s) using a fibo 20percent target and it seems to work. ie - worked on both nvda and mrvl today and am looking to have delivered ati at 30.00 short ... palm is also just about ready to harvest as it has run over 4dollars in a very short time. w

agree it will be soon, not sure if it will happen before options expiry

the same issues just happened to me at 10:39 tws shut down, tried several times to open got wrong user name/ password message, am back up now. have had to delete almost half of my stocks on my page so I could get data on the stocks I have open orders on. w

try Berkeley's in London... don't know if they can accomodate but they would be able to assist you.

It is a known fact that Financial Institutions especially since the mid 90's have been spending money on out of school programmers and math grads. They spend millions developing math equations in hope of having a short term window of opportunity. As indicated in this thread most still need...

To solve your problem you could always trade through an off shore broker and receive the 4/1 versus 3/1 offered as a canadian resident. This would give you the cost adjustment and leverage if you so choose to use it. I know this as several of my business associates are canadians and trade...

are you speaking in general ..don't short S&P, NASDAQ I short trade all the time, almost on a daily bases. each sector creates opportunities daily depending on the run. I have no problem exiting my long and taking advantage of a short opportunity. Shorts are a given necessity of the...

open a live account with a few thousand dollars. try your logic @ ie in stock with 100shares, now you have real time executions and data. Once your are successful as quoted increase with comfort. It is not about the money but the trade. All education costs money. This limits your tution...

Most institutional clients don't care. They only care about the end result of their portfolio. They trust the manager to accumulate positons in their best judgement. Unfortunately win or loss for the client the bank wins. Its all about math, for years now banks etc have been spending...

Am not sure I would agree. The market makers will decide. If you look at a lot of the stocks on Nasdaq recently you will notice that stocks that usually trade over 1m trade for the day are only trading several hundred thousand shares by 11am and can move the market 50 - 1.00. Once the UK...
