Does they have some business relation with TradeStation?

After many tests, no contest for me that eSignal is the most reliable for stock quotes in this timeframe that you spot.

If you are more concern about the amount of the fee rather the reliability of your ticket to be fill without slippage, you could choose Ameritrade (Datek) for a fix fee of 9.95 by ticket or 20$ for your roundtrip.

I have try the eSignal order entry, but after sometimes I have seen that the interface is too cumbersome for quick move, and I have wrote myself a personal interface with the IB API. I have used a Windows feature for to keep on the top this windows, this allowing me to use eSignal without losing...

As you have mentionned, IB is the best solution in the moment. In near future (in test at this moment), Jitney (Montreal & Toronto) will allow Future in their trading room, and the roadmap for Disnat Direct (Mobntreal & Toronto (to be confirm Toronto)) is to offer Future at the end of this...

After the latest remodelling website of this site, ET have put many specialized forums as Options, Forex, Futures, etc. but none of them about ETF, Mutual Funds, Hedge Fund, etc. In the future, maybe ET could evaluate to add a section about these products because I have seen many related...

I think this is because their computers system handle for you a workaround about the short rule, i.e. they will put your price as the bid+1¢, which is allowed for a short.

The short have been introduced after the 1929 crash by the SEC (1933 if I remember correctly) as a process for to limit the upside and avoid another crash.

For the RRSP owner, the principle is that you cannot take product that could expose the RRSP to go down lower than authorized amount inside the plan. This is why short sales are not allowed inside IRA or RRSP, because with a short you have a risk to have a broker's call for to add fund because...

Very simple because this is an historic artefact and few people know the reason: RRSP have been created in late 1950 years, and the Canadian options have been created 10 years later, the Canadian gov't. have copied the american law about IRA for to transposed them in the RRSP laws about 1974...

You can use your 30% non Canadian portion for to buy the RYDEX bearish fund. If you have inside it some U$ products, you can drop them and buy them with option which are not limited by the 30% restriction unless you convert it. This is the workaround that fund manager use for to replicate U$...

About TSE, Tim O'Meara, mentionned that IB have submitted already their formula, and it seem that this could be completed for this summer (if everything is right). Recent seminar from him gave to us this message in his presentation and on IB Forum we can see a message in this direction also...

It is funny to see that 3 years ago, the FED and Greenspan goal was to stop the inflation with higher interest rate. A side effect of this politic have been to limit the stock market growth. Now the FED and and Greenspan goal is to drop the U$ even if this will create inflation...

A strong Euro is not directly the biggest problem of European for exportation, because as the USA is the biggest consummer of products made in America, the samething is true for European, ie. people in Europe buy european products. Unlike the USA, they cannot sustain a strong currency...

Sometime this is true, but for stock this is not true because investors have a double exposure, the underlying stock risk and the currency risk. For the market the best situation for investor is to have a stable currency, for for stranger if the stock up and the US currency go down, this is not...

Even if I understand the concept, I am not familiar with ETF and I have some question about them: 1) It seem the price of fund as RYDEX are available 1 time by day for the transaction, it is the opening or the closing price is used for that? 2) On the website of RYDEX I have seen 2 prices...

With the EFS and now ActiveX, this will be a big improvement, great news :)

I like the new interface for the navigation of IB, more easier to obtain information. Also, I would like to report a strange bug that I have found on IB Canada but not on the main API. When you attempt to request API Release Notes, a popup error message is given on IB Canada website (no...

I have the both, and IB is the faster by a little bit usually. For the interface, Point Direx is better. Because some lack of IB inteface and that I want a more responsive trading interface, I have wrote for myself a similar interface that I use now for IB. since this time, very happy :)

By default, the alert don't pop-up a window but show a red blink in the quotesheet. This is my personnal setup for the same reason that you have request.
