    Is IB completely down now and for more than 30 minutes!!!?

    My TWS is still broken. I can replace the tws.xml file with tws.Fri.xml renamed as tws.xml and get TWS to open properly one time but if I then close TWS and log back on to TWS I get the same blank page as before. Can anyone else confirm if their TWS is still broken or is now reopening as it...

    Realtick Brokers - Anyone have a good one?

    JPR Capital or Terra Nova Online JPR Capital has better commissions and uses Terra Nova Financial for their clearing firm. I think Terra Nova Online sets their Commissions high so as to not to undercut the brokers who clear through Terra Nova Financial. Most brokers clearing through Terra...

    WTF is it going to to take to get the security device from IB?????

    Using the security token is easy enough. I am sure glad I have the extra account safety the token use provides. I wish all of my brokers offered the use of a security token. I bet you will be glad you have one after using it for a few days.

    WTF is it going to to take to get the security device from IB?????

    Steve, If you have been with IB for almost 8 years, you were using IB's trading platform in use prior to TWS. IB is a great broker; However, some of IB's customer service staff seem to not go out of their way to be helpful. The best IB help I get is here of ET.

    Will you stay with Cyber/Schwab if they only offer per trade pricing?

    We all know what it means when the broker does not confirm immediately when the trade is on, canceled, and etc. If the trade shows an immediate profit, the broke gets it. If the trade shows an immediate loss, the client gets it.

    Unable to Upgrading from TWS 875.3 to TWS 877.5

    The problem has been fixed. I waited three hours and then reran the upgrade to TWS 877.5 and TWS upgraded as it should with no problems. This makes me wonder if IB changed something on their side.

    I am having the same problem. I went to account management and created a user name and password but can not login. I would guess my user name and password will not be activated until tomorrow.

    High Interest Cash plus Good Broker

    IB is paying close to 5% on free cash balances depending on the balance; However, IB pays no interest on the first $10,000 of free cash. You do not have to transfer or move the money to get this rate. The rate is paid on the trading account cash balance.

    Ib Customer Support S U C K S !!!!

    I turned in a "Trouble Ticket" four weeks ago and IB has yet to assign or respond to the "Trouble Ticket". This is less than helpful and demonstrates IB's lack of concern. After this length of time I would say IB has not intention of responding. But, customer support is not why I think IB is the...

    Security: Best solution for your PC

    I use the paid malware 7.5 version of AVG. I have been very satisfied with AVG. AVG does not seem to slow down older PC's. AVG is also cheaper than most of the the other pay for offerings. I will consider changing to AVAST free home addition when my AVG renewal comes due.
