Yep, they do truly suck.

For what it's worth- it's my understanding that when you place a stop with IB, nobody sees it. (Equities anyway; I don't trade futures or place stops on options positions, but I'd assume it is the same). As IB does prop trading, it would be a conflict of interest for them to see customers'...

I have 3 IDE hard drives, and two CD drives, yet my motherboard has the standard 2 IDE channels. My PCI slots are full - anyone know a cheap way (<$50) to install the 3rd HD, maybe via USB or parallel?

They think it's gambling...:mad: Granted, it is, but still... This thread is sexist and degrading to women... and I'm a little disappointed so few pictures were posted. SJ Yeah, what's up with that??? Even if somebody takes some hottie pics and pastes them onto trading backgrounds with...

Man you guys are going to hell!!! Give your lives to Jesus!!! Repent!!! hahahahahhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Def, Is this true?

I'm curious - this morning I sent in a limit order (I use IB) to buy equities call contracts at the offer price (my order size was under the posted offer size). The order went live (green light in TWS), but then about 3 seconds later (before I was filled), the offer was lifted 0.10 higher...

Thanks for your insight, everyone. Just checking to make sure there wasn't something I didn't know about HRB at the time, like a news item. Usually I am pretty good at reading these things as they are happening, but I definitely did not see this downside move being as big as it was. On...

Man, you hit it right on the head! Scalping still gives you the closest thing to guaranteed profits per trade in this business, but I still think there's way too much risk unless you are using other strategies at the same time over a longer timeframe, and are just looking to stay sharp or to...

I wasn't aware that NYSE stocks had a level 2...maybe you are referring to openbook? No, I do not have openbook. No offense, NihabaAshi, but this is about the last place I'm going to talk about why I chose that trade!!! It's a pretty generic setup, though. No waves, gurus, or sines...

:D I've heard that somewhere, too. Usually when I get fucked by a specialist it's a little less random, and more generic and predictable. I was waiting for him to do something in a more typical, retarded fashion.They're not "brain surgeons," you know! :D

Anyone know what happened with HRB today - at around 14:00 EST? I bought at 46 for a swing trade, then watched in disbelief as the spread almost instantly went to 45.50x45.90. As I didn't know what was going on, I covered on Instinet without losing much, as I could not split the bid and...

Yes, scalping is a great way to learn how to read a level 2 screen. However, unless you are a floor trader, you will not make any money scalping. Contrary to what anyone says, that is the REALITY. Scalping (over the internet, even if your commissions are FREE) is a good way to take on a...

Now we've got bitching about bitching. Don't venture out into the ocean if you can't take the sharks, pal.

I may have a copy of 752.6. I'll check back and get back to you. I try to keep copies of all the different versions in case of a software problem.

TC2000 is the undisputed champ, as I've been told anyway. Maybe in a few days I will be able to offer a personal opinion. There is also Quotes Plus.

This is something that I've always wondered about - isn't it basically a form of frontrunning to make a call after you've already put on your own position? I know fund managers and that whole crowd do it all the time, but they have a loophole since they are required by law to disclose their...

..............anybody?????????????????

I bit the bullet and ordered it. :) If I get junk mail from ratboy Larry Williams, you bastards are gonna PAY!!! heh heh just kidding. Thanks -dude PS - that other one looks pretty cool too. maybe i'll try the 19 day trial.
