Well I guess he didn't automate it. Surprisingly though it was available for trading through the fast entry (I didn't figure this out until too late :mad: ) Don't think this is rocket surgery. I mean every other broker does it.

do you have to re submit W8-BEN every year? or just when you open your acct?

Bahamas, Bermuda, Turks + Caicos, whatever, research the location they have some differences but it will basically cost you around $2000 to setup the IBC and then a yearly fee of $500 to keep it in order. Nothing difficult nor complicated. The IBC would not ofcourse engage in banking...

The security "JBLU" is not available or allowed for this account. If this security should be available, please contact our customer service. sigh

Not difficult at all. You set up an IBC registered in a tax haven (such as BVI) then that entity opens an acct with a broker and appoints you as the trader.

actually they did announce it but it was kind of buried here: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/companyInfo/euro_cut.html But we do have to give them credit, they are basically cutting the commission in half. Which other broker do you know that has done something similar recently?

Options are priced according to volatility. Since P2 would be buying options (per your suggestion) at a peak in volatility; that is, a huge move downward. Then it is to follow that he is buying a very expensive option which may decrease in value as volatility deflates. He may very well lose on...

Another interesting article: http://www.hdbrous.com/Commentary.asp?SUBNAV=10 I'm just posting some stuff that I think provides a macro view of the market and the economy. I personally use it as a backdrop not for trading but for positioning a long term portfolio. It does, however, add...

Would love to hear how you would get around exchange imposed restrictions that prevent exactly what you propose. Enlighten us.

RealTick has my vote so far

Their fees are VERY competitive :http://www.pointdirex.com/live/en/ns/html/feeschedule.htm Would have to agree on IB not being very user friendly. But if the PD charts are useless....why not combine with RealTick and only use it for execution? I'm seriously thinking of moving from IB due...

Go to www.grc.com there, Steve Gibson has a utility that while not free, will pay for itself 1000x over. I think this is the link: http://grc.com/spinrite.htm This guy is a software engineer's engineer. You can also learn a hell of a lot more about drives than you ever wanted to. :)

stevet, as I said I wasn't here in the good old times :) but what I meant by the experienced trader's reaction was that he didn't believe that successful traders would spend a lot of time online in such a website. His view was to have a person to person relationship (mentor-student) would be...

def, could you please answer the following: if IB's quotes are behind, would an order placed through BEST be compromised because of this?

Teresa apparently just started a thread on SI http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/subject.gsp?subjectid=36945

Thought this would be of interest: http://www.hdbrous.com/chartweek.asp?SUBNAV=10 and http://www.trimtabs.com/news/liquidity/latest.html Comments appreciated. :)

Sad, but would have to agree... I talked to a successful and experienced (20+yrs) trader and when I mentioned elitetrader.com and the community here, he looked at me as if I had three ears. But then again, it is really up to us as members to contribute and make this an oasis of insight and...
