    Do you mean that everything at IB and Quotetracker is linked to your Quotetracker watchlist or just everything at Quotetracker?

    Is Interactive's Daytrading Buying Power Less Than At Other Firms?

    According to information on IB's website, Buying Power in a Standard Securities Day-Trading Margin Account is 4 x Available Funds, where Available Funds = Equity with Loan Value (cash value + stock value + bond value + non-US & Canada options value) minus Initial Margin. Maybe I'm missing...

    DOMs - At What Point Do They Become Overkill?

    I've been reading various threads here relating to DOMs compatible with Interactive Brokers. I've also been visiting the websites of some of their vendors and reading up about them. I can see immediately how they would be invaluable if one were trading off of tick charts, multi-second, or 1...

    Stop Order Handling - Which is Better?

    Steve, The link you posted takes me to a "Page not found" error message at www.nyse.com . I think this is because of the very poor way ET handles long links (i.e., it removes part of them and, of course, then they don't work). If you could repost the link as text, which is easy to do by...

    Stop Order Handling - Which is Better?

    Thanks for your reply, Jim. It strikes me that with NYSE and AMEX stocks, one is really between a rock and a hard place: if the specialist sees your stop, he can run it, but if he doesn't see it until it's marketable, the time priority on it may be so bad that the fill is horrible (on a stop...

    Stop Order Handling - Which is Better?

    Some brokers transmit stop orders to the relevant market as soon as they are placed. Other brokers hold stop orders internally until they become marketable and then transmit the order to the relevant market. I'm wondering which method ET members feel is preferable. So that you'll know, I'm...

    IB order entry

    I'm seeing the acronym "DOM" a lot these days. Pardon my ignorance, but what does it stand for? Many thanks in advance for your help here.

    Interactive Brokers - Add-on Software

    Let me modify my original inquiry above. I've researched question 1) pretty thoroughly at IB's website and have a much better understanding of it. The principal limitations that I can see with respect to TWS is that it does not allow for very advanced charting (e.g., custom indicators...

    Interactive Brokers - Add-on Software

    I'm considering opening an account with IB. However, I'm somewhat confused as to what software they provide and what software one needs to purchase, or might be well advised to purchase, in order to trade effectively through IB. Thus, I have a few basic questions and am hoping that folks who...

    Gaps

    Can't PM you (no PM info listed in your profile) and can't email you (tried, but was told you've elected not to receive emails from within the board). Was wondering if you'd be good enough to let us know about the "resource that you can use to learn more about gap trading". Many thanks in...

    INTRA-DAY stock scanners?

    Cash, I've confirmed that you do not have to be a RealTick user in order to use either MarketGauge or HotScans. Once again, the main link for both products is http://www.marketgauge.com. Hope this helps. Regards, cwb :cool:

    INTRA-DAY stock scanners?

    I don't believe you have to have RealTick to use either HotScans or MarketGauge, although if you do have it you can create links between these products and RealTick if you want to. You do have to have RealTick to get Hottrend, but that's a completely different product. Let me know if I'm...

    INTRA-DAY stock scanners?

    who killed JFK?

    It has been clearly established that George Bush Senior had an official relationship with the Central Intelligence Agency at and before the time of Kennedy's assassination, notwithstanding his apologists' flimsy denials of this fact over the years. Adios, cwb1014 :cool:

    who killed JFK?

    QUOTE]Quote from cwb1014: As to who actually participated in the assassination besides Oswald, don't forget the possible participation of some very wealthy Texas oilmen who were very upset at Kennedy's position on the elimination of the oil depletion allowance. Any one over the age of five...

    who killed JFK?

    The most fascinating, compelling, and disturbing film ever made about the Kennedy assassination is not Oliver Stone's vastly overated mish-mash of a few facts and a boatload of fiction, "JFK", but instead a little known film called "Executive Action," starring Burt Lancaster and made in 1973...

    Which Indicator uses Volume as a variable

    Believe it or not, John Bollinger's book Bollinger on Bollinger Bands, which I've just finished reading, provides an excellent survey, complete formulas, and reasonably good explanations of indicators which are based on volume and price (other than normalized volume and average volume, which...

    Knobias - Has anyone used their news service?

    Has anyone used Knobias's RAiDAR-PRO news aggregation and analysis service (see: http://www.knobias.com/institution/araidar.htm). It's received some fairly good reviews in the financial press, but I've never heard anything about it from actual users. Any information that anyone can provide...

    Matrox G450 MMS Video Cards - Does Anyone Have Experience With Them?

    Hello. Does anyone have any experience with Matrox's relatively new G450 MMS video cards (not to be confused with their G450 card which has been around for quite awhile)? The X2 version supports 2 monitors and the X4 version supports 4 monitors. I'm in the process of selecting a...
