Probably retaliation from ARCA, because IB disables the "ECN pass-through fee accumulation" on their ARCA orders.

Just in case anyone is wondering. The two orders I cancelled on ARCA this morning are still pending cancel. I wonder if they will still be here when I turn on my computer on Tuesday. Thank God ARCA is fully electronic. Imagine how long the CLX confirmation would take if ARCA's carrier...

Exactly! That's why the specialists are so deep in debt and have to walk to work. Remember: The trend is your friend! Cut your losers short and let your winners ride!

This is mainly for IB customers, since IB has always been very accomodating to its customers requests: I personally would almost always use "SMART_WITHOUT_ARCA" for quotes as well as orders, if IB were to bless us with such a routing option. The occasional penny ARCA could make you is...

Actually, since ARCA doesn't seem to be a temporary problem: def, do you think it would be possible for IB to implement a "SMART_WITHOUT_ARCA" routing option?

ARCA definitely gets my vote for WORST EXCHANGE EVER. While they have morons braying on TV about speed and liquidity trading the QQQs on ARCA, two of my SMART orders have had the misfortune of being routed to ARCA, where they have been pending cancel for about an hour now.

Please! Next thing we know that ugly power lunch chick will start stripping too. I wonder if anyone thinks she's hot.

I never thought I would recommend a MSFT product, but XP really IS the best Windows ever.

I see. Thank you for the information, def!

That's what they all say.

I believe in the market. I believe in me. I use options to hedge the risks in my portfolio. Because it's all about balance.

Would you happen to know where the persons who make the TMBR quotes for GE, GM, KO, MCD, etc. are physically located? Or is it just a big computer program?

Nothing, I just like the word bellwether and how people on TV use it without understanding its meaning.

Volatittily, tolavittily, what's the difference? Should have sold the vega!
