Do you know which brokers pay 4% on short positions as if they are cash?

Schwab has had plenty of time to fully understand the CyberTrader business model and obviously decided the CyberTrader business model is not as profitable as the Schwab business model. That made Schwab's decision easy (shutdown Cybertrader and salvage anything that is salvageable). I would think...

I had that exact problem a few months ago. It lasted for a few weeks until one day I did an upgrade to Quotetracker and that fixed the problem.

I think the TWS 875 account window needs some changes and further improvements. I filled out an IB "Inquiry/Problem Ticket" July 27, 2007 for the account window and IB has yet to assign the ticket or respond to the ticket. I have never had such a slow and poor response on a "Ticket". As for...

Charts is not IB's "Thing". I use IB for what they do great and get great charting elsewhere. Ouotetracker is close to free with IB data.

I noticed this problem with Ameritrade level 2 on very active stocks while at the same time the Ameritrade level 1 feed was timely on the same symbol. I noticed MB trading level 2 was running behind the market at the same time on the same symbol but not minutes late like Ameritrade level 2. I do...

The test results I have read show Kaspersky to be a resource hog. I would not want it on my trading PC.

My paid version of Anti-Malware 7.5 does not have a firewall so I am not able to look and see if I can disable it. I think if you can disable it, you would open the AVG Control Center, select the firewall, open the firewall properties and see if you can disable it.

For my printing needs, I much prefer the legacy statement. I will continue to use the legacy statement as long as it is available. The new statement format requires me to deselect all of the things I do not want to print on each days statement (what a pain and a waist of my time) before I print.

I bet you have much younger eyes than I.

I use a 20" screen at 1024 x 768 and have up until TWS 875 had the TWS main window, execution window and the account window all arranged on the screen where they do not overlap. I consider those three windows all must be viewable at the same time for my trading. Yes, the account window would...

All of those most outstanding account window enhancements and we can not even adjust the font size. What are IB's TWS software writers thinking or not thinking?

I have just upgraded to TWS 875 and the font size in the Account Window is so large that my account window now covers almost all of my monitor screen. This is totally unworkable. It looks like IB has made the account window font size the same size as the font size set for the TWS main trading...

IB on balances over $10,000 MB Trading

I think Cyber is probably not profitable enough to satisfy the infinite corporate greed of Schwab.

Why does the number 0 need a dash through it? The letters I and o are not used as part of the password generated to prevent errors.

The number of broker user ratings (214 for IB) shown here on Elite Trader indicates there are a lot of IB users here on Elite Trader. There are several great trading platforms. What do you use for your trading platforms that you like?

I recommend the very two brokers you said you do not want to use. The customer service has been tops at MB trading. As for IB, you most likely will not need to call customer service to open the account or trade. I have used IB daily for over seven years and have not needed to call customer...

I have been using AVG for years. Their Technical Support Group has been but outstanding. I have had none of the problems you mentioned.
