mdmbud, I worked before in Customer Support of a Software company. You should've called in and asked to speak to a manager. Then complained to the manager if your previous call was handled poorly. The manager would've looked into the trade and checked to see if the person handling the...

In trading the ES and NQ, what's the difference between CME and GLOBEX? In IB, how come the quotes are blank right now 5pm PT for CME and I can still see the quotes if I selected GLOBEX. Is there an advantage of one over the other in execution? Thanks!

If you have 3 computers and it's only slow on 1 computer, that means it's not IBs problem but a problem on that one system that is slow. You might want to defrag your hard disk. Change the network card. Make sure no unnecessary processes/programs are running in the background. Increase...

Sarasota, http://www.bracket-trader.com/index.html

I just installed Bracket Trader. I also installed the 'InstallAX'. When I run it, it comes up and then an error popup comes up. 'Run Time Error 6 - Overflow' Then The MS error about sending a bug report comes up. This is on a Windows XP machine. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

Maybe your computer is telling you that you should enjoy the rest of the day outside! :)

That thread was closed because it was going off topic. Anybody could make a bad trade and say they never made the trade. What a joke. I wish I could take back some bad trades by calling a broker and saying I never made the trade. Baron, Can you please delete qdz for wasting...

Wally, ** I posted one simple technique that time and again makes you money even if not that frequently: 61.8% FR within 30 min bar. ** What are the rules for this method? What was today's entry point, stop and exit point? Thanks!

Just play it safe. I would just wire the money if I were you. Last time I sent a check, they held it for 15 days before releasing it. I don't know about cashiers check though

I use to trade with 2-5k when I first started learning how to trade stocks. I agree it's REALLY BAD they had to pass the PDT rule which limits accounts under 25k because those are the accounts learning how to trade. But since it's done, people need to focus on how to work around it...

My two cents. I constantly had that problem with NYSE stocks. I still believe the specialists are a bunch of crooks. My limit buy order would always be traded past by a few pennies and NO fill! Only if the price traded way past my limit, I would get a fill and be down a nickel...

Can anyone recommend a good up-to-date book on filing for taxes with futures which includes some sample returns? Any good links to any pages which show the 40/60 and how to apply it? Suppose I make 10k, I put 4k short term and 6k long term. Does it IRS know why I'm doing that? Does...

Does anyone have the link to the QCharts data setup page so I can add futures data to my subscription. There use to be a link to login my account from www.quote.com but they changed it. I don't think that login page on the Lycos front is the setup for QCharts data. Thanks!

What about QCharts? Do they work with SSF now? How do the SSF symbols work?

I found this neat chart about distributions in case anyone else wanted to know: http://www.rothira.com/disttax.htm I still have 1 question. Supposed I put in 6k for 3 years contribution. Then I turn it into 16k. Can I just take out my original 6k and leave my 10k gains and not get...

Tried to short EXPE the other day. Guess what? No shorts. If you want to short, get a Datek account.

I still remember there was this guy talking a lot of BS before saying how good he traded and he would show all of us by starting a audited account to prove it. Then when asked when he would start, he said he would wait until next year to start because he needed time to set it up. Does...
