IB doesn't match up exactly with everyones needs. IB matches up exactly with yours. JB

>IB is starting to charge exchange fees soon. Just for clarification -- these are not "exchange fees" as in fees for the Island exchange and other ECN exchanges, but rather fees for any additional market data (such as LVL2). JB

Wow Baron. I like the new functionality. Keep up the great work. Thanks so much JB

Ok folks -- answered my own question: If you drag the columns around with the mouse they don't stay put. if you use the menu command -- File/Customize... and rearrange them with the provided interface they will remain. JB

Anyone else having this problem with the very latest release? If you adjust the columns in the "Executions" window it won't save them...not only will in not save them, but with *every single execution* it moves them back to the default position. I keep my execution window very small for...

>What is considered to be fast/good run >around time time for day trading? That really depends on the time frame you trade. If you are seriously scalping, latency is a real enemy because you are always trying to grab liquidity that was there XXms ago. If you are trading a 15m or...

I ping TalTrade (realtick) continiously during the trading day and average ping times of 60ms. I'm in San Diego and their servers are in Chicago I believe. I have been unable to find another data supplier with ping times this low and I've tried pretty much all of them. The easiest way to...

This is something that I'm learning as time goes on. It used to be that I either hit my stops or exited at a profit. Now, I find I rarely hit my stops as I recognize that my premise for the trade is gone and I exit. This has had a negative effect on my win/loss ratio, and a positive effect...

There's been a 5 Million dollar reward on his head from the Feds for several years now. JB

Had one Arca order fail to go green and then of course it sat purple for several minutes upon attempt to cancel. I hate these situations because you are never sure if you got the stock or not. The rest of my 50 or so orders were executed perfectly. I never use BEST_... always route...

Also, Two bid/offers are required to trigger the order. The new description needs to make it clear whether this is serial or parallel behavior. In other words, must both bids be displayed at the same time, or is the first "crank flash" the first bid and when the same crank later flashes...
