Easy does it, Bobby Boy........ Thanks for the info.

As a new customer of Wealth Lab Developer, I must say that I am quite impressed. As a former Pascal programmer, and user of RealTick and IB, I must say that it is a perfect fit for me. It is an extremely powerful development environment that will allow you to create simple or the most complex...

Since this has been a totally overwhelming thread :), I decided to stick with IB, and not go to Tradestation. I needed a back-testing system, which was why Tradestation came up on my radar, especially since commission rates were dropped substantially by them. Instead, I'm going to stick...

Put all of your money on PPHM..........

Nana, Thanks, that is it ! I appreciate the reference.

I am contemplating moving over to TS. Is there any way I can get a copy of the TS Easy Language Doc ? It doesn't seem to available on the Tradestation site. I want to look at it before I actually open up an account with them. TIA

OK gang, I'm starting this thread, and I want to hear from everyone. With Tradestation's reduction in commissions, I am strongly considering going with them vs. IB. The commission costs are virtually the same now, and the ability of Program Trading and current and historical simulation gives...

Where can I find Tradelog (on the web), and how much does it cost ? TIA

What is Tradelog exactly ???? Does it interface with IB ? TIA

IRS does not require a list of each and every trade, which would be ludicrous. Instead, I have been advised to do the following: - I give a summary line on my Sched D, for each brokerage account that I trade in during the year, listing my P/L total, which should match exactly with your...

P.S. to last email: I bought from Dell directly over the web (www.dell.com). You can pick and choose all options, which is really nice. Also, you automatically get 24-hour in-home service (if you are not technically inclined), and can upgrade that to same-day service, for a small fee. Well...

Brandon, Do NOT skimp on your system. It is your lifeline. I was trading on an old Pentium machine, and running RealTick, IB, and some homegrown apps, and I was hanging all the time. Here's what I bought several months back, and it is a dream: - Dell Power Workstation 650...

def, I think everyone is jumping all over IB with these accusations, due to the outage today. What was the official IB response to the problem today, BTW ?

Yes, happens all the time with our wonderful Specialist system. Another flaw in the system, that is overlooked by the NYSE and the regulators. I think they call it "maintaining an orderly market" or some doubletalk like that. Amazing that Reed endorses this antiquated operation, eh ? Maybe...

No problems with Buy stops ever. Have had bad fills with Sell stops, but that is usually because of the "uptick" rule not allowing me to get filled optimally.

Yep, same problem. Supposedly a back-end process that they thought they had fixed, restarted on its own, cancelling some people's sessions, and preventing a login. Tradestation, as an alternative platform, is looking real good IMO at this point.....

Thanks, Volker !!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I had problems too. I was logging on to show a friend of mine the interface. I wasn't trading after hours, so I didn't think much of it.

I've seen several posts about "Wealthlab". What is Wealthlab and where can I find out more about it (BTW, www.wealthlab.com is a website under construction, and hence, has no info on it). Thanks in advance.

Do you honestly think IB would try and cheat you out of money ? No way, Jose. IB would never risk something that stupid. I strongly suggest that you build a spreadsheet, that keeps track of your buys/sells/prices/quantities/dates. This is good for your record keeping, and you should...
