    IB rate check

    Any Free Tax Software for IB?

    Tradekeeper use to be free for the previous years. They started charging money this year. You have to buy a filter for $25. Then buy Tradekeeper for $50. Too bad I deleted my old copy already but I don't think it'll help because IB keeps changing the web format of it's statements each year.

    click fraud?

    There is no difference except one. If I buy 500 shares of GOOG, I would have to buy 5000 shares of a 40 dollar stock. Commission is $2.50 for GOOG and $25 for 40 dollar stock. And the 40 stock needs to have enough volume for me to get in and out 5000 shares within a 1-2 cent level. I...

    bright trading in atlanta

    Is Bright's commission rate still same as last year? Before Series 7 1.25 cent a share After Series 7 1 cent a share < 1000 shares .4 cent a share > 1000 shares That cost doesn't even include the SEC and ECN fees. They should really lower the fees and they would attract a lot...

    trouble with Tradestation...........

    Will Tradestation ever raise their interest rates to match the industry standards? What a waste of money to get 1.25% interest on cash in account.

    system restore

    1. Have one computer specific for trading. 2. Do not install any non-trading applications on it. 3. Have a separate computer for surfing porn System Restore is a terrible way of getting rid of a virus. Get a subscription to McAfee if you must use one computer for everything. Running...

    Shindler Trading Has Bang Up Feb !

    Congrats to Aaron for a great Feb! I do agree with Pabst. But I think the drawdows would be 1/2 of the max drawdown now since Aaron reduced his volatility of his program.

    Your noobish comments gave me the confidence to short the break of 371. Thanks for a quick 5 points. Your earlier comment was a close above 370 which has not been realized yet until the market closes. Good Luck on your longs!

    I agree. I think he's a one time wonder. It would be an insult to the other traders to even be mentioned with him.
