Thanks Def for your reply. It's refreshing to get direct answers to one's question. Earlier today I submitted a bug report your your helpdesk ... they asked me to call the desk if I had any trouble instead of just passing the problem to their technical support staff. Not being one who...

Hi Turok, Yes, we can install an ethernet card into a computer that has the wireless networking card. Let's call this computer X. We shall give it a shot. I think we understand how to do it. -- Punter

Hi Turok, I just realized that I have one wireless network and one ethernet network. If I buy a router, how do I connect the wireless network to the router as the wireless network doesn't use ethernet cables? Thanks. -- Punter

I just recieved a reply from IB's help desk about the fees. The message was pretty much a verbatim cut-and-paste of the original notice put out by IB regarding the charges. The charges will be on a per-account basis. Looks like I'll be moving my IRA away from IB. Let's see...

Is that all I have to do? So easy! Someone had told me before that I needed to get some sort of bridging software. Thanks. Will look into it. -- Punter

Def, You asked why one might have cash in an IRA account. I have cash in my IRA account because we are in a bear market and I am not allowed to sell short in my IRA account. Furthermore, it's not clear to what extent I can daytrade in my IRA account: I am still waiting for your help...

Hi Everyone, I am very impressed by the technical knowledge and willingness to share that knowledge of the EliteTrader members. You guys and gals are awesome! Here's a question for you: Say I have two sets of networked computers. One set of computers are networked togehter via...

Does anyone know if these fees on a per account basis or on a per customer basis? I have been very active in my main taxable trading acount, but inactive in my IRA account due to the bear market. If my IRA acct is going to be charged $10 a month (even though I generate hundreds of dollars...

Hi Baron, What happened to your computer hardware what-to-buy guide? Can't find it anywhere now. Thanks. -- Punter

Nice home page redesign. It'd be great if we can minimize some of the categories and maximize others. I'd like to be able to see more recent trading threads, and perhaps zero threads for other categories, such as under professional firms. If we can expand or collapes the threads under...

Thanks M for your reply. Yes, it is an open ended question indeed ... but if your trading methodology takes volumes to explain, might it be too complicated? Floor traders make a living with nothing more than their eyes and ears ... surely there must be techniques that are simple yet...

For the day traders among us here, can you please describe your (1) entry technique, (2) exit technique for losers, and (3) exit technique for winners ? I am finding that I am having problems in all three of these areas. I often times enter at the wrong time and almost immediately...

Anyone see the EliteTrader survey results re: IB and ET? Seems like most people like it the way it is.

Qcharts has an active group on Yahoo Groups ... qcharts/lycos people respond to posts there. Perhaps an IB group on Yahoo should be created? This will only work though if Def is willing to peruse the Yahoo group. Def, is this something you're willing to add to your list of things to...

Part of the reason why there are so many IB posts here is because Def is a frequent visitor to this board and provides very competent technical support that is much better than actual IB support. If IB's Technical Support was as good as Def, there probably wouldn't be so many posts here...

I had similar problems today...my stop order via Island for the Q's didn't execute. Looked at quotes for QQQ on the AMEX ... saw they were widely different. Ended up cancelling my Island order and routing it to the AMEX. Very frustrating having these sort of software problems. Reduces...

Yamner. Great outfit. I traded through Mike Gallo. A great guy to work with. Cost $35 a ticket plus a penny a share. Cost more than IB. But if you trade 1000 or more shares for example, how much can you lose on that while you're on hold with IB for 10 minutes waiting to get out of...

Today I had two IB outages while I had open orders. Toll Free phone lines were busy. Direct line worked, but was placed on hold for over five minutes, maybe more than 10 minutes. Lucky for me, the system came up and no fiscal damage was done to my P&L. I may reconsider going back to...

Hi Def & everyone, I am having trouble downloading transactions from IB to Quicken. Worked fine at first, until I deleted the Quicken account that IB was using. Now IB is unable to enter the transactions into Quicken because the account is no longer there. I've sent a query to IB...
