if IB have an outage as it seems they do all the time - how much does it cost to get out of a position by phone - or can you get out by phone - and do they waive charges if it is their fault?

thecigargirl pats is dependent on the clearer you are connected to - ironically RCG is the one having the most problems at the moment - but anyway, why dont you want to use a java based platform and do you use the esignal charting?

matrix if they are signing you to london - you must be one of the first - maybe the first! - as they have only just started that phone IB and see if you can get someone to transfer you on the phone to the london office the london office is not new as they have had an office in the Uk...

matrix1955 i think you have joined just as they are changing over their system of the IB office you will be assigned to - so that is more than likely the problem

matrix1955 which country are you in?

metooxx include me in that lunch! but i think we may have to get the guy out of the clinic first!

liltrdr why are you happy to pay $10 or more per round turn? use IB and send me the $5+ you would save!

tymjr by your own words - the gap is closing - that indicates it has not closed but i am real happy to try and find a better and/or cheaper alternative to cqg - which one should i use?

i found that when esignal went wrong - it was impossible to get them to admit it was wrong or get any answers about incorrect data - and problems could carry on for months without anyone addressing them - its seemed to be a ship without a captain do any high volume futures traders use real...

there are a bunch of real big private companies scalping in the UK, mostly in bonds, who are starting to trade emins as there is now a hub in the London, so watch as volume builds - dont know if this will filter back into stocks, but more volume in futures should have a knock on effect in stocks

trader 777 and by the way - why did your broker put you with gni before transfering you to man - if gni were so bad

trader777 dont believe everything man tells you - they are trained to say all this baloney about their costs are you seriously saying this this guy is trading 600 contracts a day and paying $10 plus fees per contract - thats 12,000 a month - as i wrote this i had to keep checking that i...

i was told that rcg had a big outage yesterday with pats - dont know if it affected all the ibs

man could easily charge you what anyone else does - just ask them! your broker will respect you for looking for the best price, since you might not be around unless you get it - the real big money earners pay peanuts per trade!

so would it make sense in dollar terms if the p/l had changed relative to the ask and bid flipping - but for some reason the ask and bid quote did not change on your platform or might IB have some sort of filter on the quotes to your trading platform, that takes out rogue quotes, but their...

elon what's the minimum account size and intraday margin

FX-Trader just wondering if the free emini quotes are in operation yet, as i think the start date is april 6th - could this be the problem with IB? although IB seem to be saying they know of the offer, but are not in a position to offer it one issue with TS is that they are offering a...

well done craig - an open and direct answer hope your clearer can get to together for you

Man in the Uk have the same attitude as all UK brokers, you can get $10 or less to start in the US from a Man IB, with low account size and good margins - but in the Uk - Man want circa $15 to start and all the other baloney you get in the UK

trader777 unless you are trading large size, it is better to stick with a US broker, and even with large size, I understand from some amercans that you still have a battle to deal with UK brokers - but technically i believe GNI UK are good
