    What is going on with IB?

    Just to clarify that "quote" since it is not complete and a bit misleading: Cancel FEE: US Direct API stock orders (does not apply to US smart API orders) USD 0.12/Cancel or modify order CREDIT toward cancel FEE: USD .24/API directed execution So basically if you do not average more...

    What is going on with IB?

    if all your recommendations are like " Does this mean IB rip us off?" and "Is it the time to leave, folks?", I think they can do without them.

    moving to south florida, cable or dsl?

    In general, you will find that Cable tends to be significantly faster unless you compare to much more expensive DSL packages.

    IB - no daily statements for May 1 and 2

    This has to be the most bulls**t argument I have heard in a while. IB does not distribute the accounting software that you are using. It is that software publisher's responsibility to update the software to work with whatever format the broker uses to provide the statements. The Statements IB...

    Medved Quote Tracker

    ryoubetteroff, 1) Registering QuoteTracker gets rid of the ads and allows for 5 day intraday charts instead of 2. It has nothing to do with the datafeed. You would still have to have one yourself. 2) Muriel Siebert is not supported in QuoteTracker. They used to be, but were removed at...

    Medved Quote Tracker

    IQFeed, MarketFeed and myTrack are your best bets as far as subscription sources. (look at http://www.quotetracker.com/qsources.shtml) Quite a few brokers have excellent datafeeds as well. Which one do you have accounts with?

    Medved Quote Tracker

    If I am correct, what you are referring to is a technical indicator, not an index that can be tracked using a symbol, right? If so, we do not have it. Jerry Medved http://www.quotetracker.com

    When Hackers Attack!

    maxpi - what exactly does "he averaged 2 trojan horses a day" mean and what does that have to do with the computer being dedicated to trading? If your computer is not secured, a hacker can get in whether the computer is dedicated or not. However, I highly doubt that 2 people got in per day...

    IB / Quotetracker questions

    Eddie - The current version of QuoteTracker supports IB Level II and MarketDepth. QT Level II window has a graph that represents the top 5 levels of depth already. Here is an old picture with RJT as a source, but it will be the same for IB: http://www.quotetracker.com/images/rjtlevelII.gif...

    IB / Quotetracker questions

    TraderBob: Some people like the IB interface better. Many others like ours. Both have their limitations. If you are primarily using QT for quotes, you can just double click and send the order from QT, which would be faster. You can always try it with the IB DEMO and see which way is faster...

    what exactly do you mean by integrated ECNs? All NASDAQ Level II will show bid/ask data from ECNs as well as other MMs. Do you mean you want the individual ISLAND orders displayed (as an example) instead of the single entry for best ISLAND bid/ask?

    Interesting fact about IB

    If we are going to go with a car analogy, I think COMP would be more like having a car without a cup holder. Pretty much all cars have them regardless of price. If you happened to have a car without a cup holder, its not a critical issue, but very inconvenient and something you frequently...

    Interesting fact about IB

    saschabr, you may very well be right about the importance of COMP, or the lack of it. However, that is a decision for the trader to make, not the brokerage. I can tell you that we get a ton of IB clients asking us what the IB symbol is for NASDAQ Composite, because they cannot find it...

    weld1, this is not the advice you are looking for, but please do not type in all caps. That's considered shouting, which I am sure you did not intend to do.

    Interesting fact about IB

    condorll - QuoteTracker charts using IB data quite nicely, as do a number of other programs. Since that is the index that is most reported, it is also the one that influences the most people, not NDX, so it is quite relevant to trading. It should be available for that purpose if none other...
