I have to admit the customer service of the firm I used with J-Trader was great. Whish IB would have service like that (But it's almost impossible with that difference in number of customers...) Overall, I'm not advertising for IB, I reacted on someones quote that Patsystems would give you...

Ditch, if you're referring to J-Trader, than my advice to you is to look into J-Trader before you start out. I traded using J-Trader a while ago, and unless they fixed some major bugs, I will not use it again. Bugs - "Disapearing trades" , "Very slow response to cancelling orders" , "execution...

Using IB : They have these orders, not sure if this is what you mean because price gets only send to markets that have the best price. Sweep-to-Fill- Used when speed of execution is of the essence. Order is simultaneously submitted to multiple destinations at best prices. Available for...

Hi, I received an email from IB today (IB TWS Highlights) which handles order types. When I looked at Limit on Open this was the description : Limit-on-Open- A limit order set to execute at the limit price or better at the market's open. Available for stocks on NYSE and AMEX, routed...

The Netherlands We pay 1.2 % over our average invested capital. :cool:

I use IB (The only firm that let's me have a EURO based acct) but you can also take a look at MB trading.

Andy, These orders are called spread orders and they are supported by IB !!! (On futures and Options) I thought you were looking for intermarket spreads. These will be available soon.

Depth of market - Yes (Up to 5 levels) - Free Nasdaq Level II - Yes - $20,- month NYSE Openbook - Yes - $ 50,- month Look for other fees / markets at their website / Fees / Market Data Spread Matrix - No (But I know there 're a lot of requests for this so it might be added in the near...

I think it might be easier (and maybe cheaper) to sell your current positions and reopen them in your IB acct. If you cannot affort that at once, you can do it part by part. (sell part of your position, open same position with IB, transfere money from old broker to IB, repeat)

If you're not trading for cents, you might consider entering one tick above/below programs. Use a very tight stop in case programs don't come in. You will loose some on your performance but it's better than sitting aside ..... I noticed my pairs / spread trading has become somewhat less...

Bull..... If you don't change your order (modify) you get comm. $0.005 for every share >500. What you read is different. example : Buy order 1000 shares @ 25.00 you get filled 500 shares on 25.00 and than price moves up. you modify your (partially filled) order so the remaining 500...

For complete TWS recovery you can make a copy of the JTS folder. (It's about 5MB) or if this is to much just copy the setting files. All your settings are in a subfolder. You can look for [.lyt] files hotkeys.lyt layout.lyt etc Hope this helps

Used to have an account with PMB (a few years back) but when I went to their website I see they're REFCO now. Their slogan was : You name it , we trade it. They offered almost everything Hope REFCO still does this ....

Tiki, Drop college, we only pay 1.2% on the total amount we invested. No income tax on trading. You're wasting time :D :D :D (Just Kidding)

Tiki, I live in The Netherlands as well (most of the time) and I know Alex. (in fact when I started being interested in economics, it was my first broker) Have you ever tried other brokers ? I suggest you also take a look at IB (www.interactivebrokers.com) since they also offer Dutch...

Tiki, Which broker do you use ? Which datafeed ? Thanks

You can also take a look at IRD (European Realtick) http://www.ird.com Personally I don't use them but at least they offer Realtick software at a better price than Realtick does !!!

Eurex is an European Exchange. Well known products : Bund, Bobl, DAX, Eurostoxx 50 site : www.eurexchange.com Hope this helps

Depends on the platform you're going to be using. If you want to use X-Trader at GFETC than you'll have to pay as well. (It's a charge from Trading Technologies (X-Ttrader)) If you want no charges you'll have to go with J-Trader but this cannot be compared to X-Trader (or FFasttrading) You...
