FYI someone from IB contacted me asking for log files. But since I'm using version 864 I don't have the problem. If someone who is still having the problem wants to PM me I'll reply and I'll pass along the IB contact info (please <u>don't</u> send me your log files!). SSB

I've been a loyal customer and supporter of IB over the past few years but I'm finding myself disenchanted with them lately and I will be moving some of my business over to other brokers (some will remain with IB). My specific issues which I have seen many postings about both here and on...

I thought it's just a help out IB thing -- their IPO is coming up, maybe they don't want to piss off *somebody* (not sure who though). IB just come clean on this -- if you gave the real reason (good bad or ugly) at least people would stop asking about it........

The master account only needs enough to cover data fees. I usually keep around $100 in the account and add to it as needed. As far as I know you cannot trade in the master account -- only the client accounts. Trades are entered in the master account (you log into TWS using the master...

Steve -- I'm not sure about that but I think it likely depends on the laws in the state you live in. It's a hassle but you might consider consulting with a lawyer -- as it would be a bigger hassle if you run afoul of some registration law and get sued by the SEC or something....

How does the $100K apply to advisors? My understanding from the website is that if the sum of all client accounts is over $100K then it's free for the advisor master account. But each client account must be over $100K for it to be free for that client account.

Can you confirm how this works for advisor accounts? For the master account, if the total assets of all client accounts are over $100K is it available (and is it free)? I'm not worried about the client accounts so much since I need to approve any withdrawls, I'm worried about the master account.

I'm looking to add some gigolos -- PM me if you're interested.

I pimp in the evenings after the market closes. I send out mah honeys and they earn me big bucks. The only downside is having to rough up some of the johns and getting hassled by the fuzz....:mad:

Whoa....now they're back. Did the system reset start early or something?

I logged into TWS a few minutes ago and I can't get any market data. I tried 867 and 868, both say I don't have market permissions but I verified in account management that they didn't disappear. Is anyone else having this problem?

Can anyone recommend a broker that has NYBOT softs on ICE (since IB refuses to offer them and won't even give a reason!)? I know openecry has them, anyone else? SSB

We can hope. If you saw the movie office space, I hope they take eCBOT and beat it like they beat that printer.... Do you mean just the huge price spikes after hours like the other day? Or something more insidious? Inquiring minds want to know.... :D

Just to throw some ideas out there... <table> <tr><td> <img src="http://ii-prod.marketlive.com/fredericks/images/en_US/local/products/detail/70761.jpg"> </td><td> <img src="http://www.magicmakers.com/retail/clown%20stuff/clownpolkadot.jpg"> </td><td> <img...

I think I'll complain to Verizon -- the best download speed I get on my 20 Mbps is 19.7 :D :D :D

I currently have my FIOS connected through a 10/100 router. I don't see how but I'm thinking I might see a speed increase if I switched to a gigabit router. Not because the actual FIOS connection is faster than the router, just because it uses 20 Mbps out of the 100 Mbps, I thought it might be...

What is your "system"? If you don't have one and you're using your emotions you're going to lose all your money.....figure out something that works, write it down, and stick to it.

And why would you be watching CNBC with the sound turned ON????? :p You can gawk at Maria and Beckie without sound dude!

I have an extra copy -- send me your $25K with your email address and I'll send you my extra copy.

Check the quotes on the futures options -- usually a big bid/ask spread. Also look at some historical data -- once they go in the money their sizable premium disappears.
