If it says so it must be true. The fees for the most part represent the costs the actual exchange wants for the data, so it would be as costly at other providers as well. Remember IB is not a dataprovider; on the one hand it means they don't want to make a profit from the data-stuff, otoh they...

L2 for what? With the standard account comes L2 data for major index futures. For stocks I don't know but you can select any subscription you want and I am certain that the costs are minimal, accounting for exchange fees and such. I thought...

Why do you ask?

I think Atticus' suggested possibilities already are very plausible. Now it's your turn to suggest some other possibilities. It is you who are stuck with this 'false' account-numbers, so I suggest you contact C2 and ask for an explain. Do that, or remain the joker that you are making of...

I think you'r dodging the question. Where does the negative open P/L come from then? Ursa..

Probably the exact reason why Bloomberg went independant. As we all know the independant more than once caused one of the bigger candidates not to win. It might be a calculated move by Bloomberg to use his position to attract those swingers that would otherwise cause their party to win. The only...

If he 'has gotten into' the situation like this because of the machinations of his boss Cheney he should just say so. In fact I think he was planning to unless the Whitehouse got him off the hook, somehow. It is just an incredible mess, caused mainly by this totally corrupt guy Cheney, who...

Excellent! Now, you make is seem so simple :)

Then how do they do the penny options? I thought that was an IB-only thing. For that they would have to be able to cross a penny ask with a penny bid, don't they. Isn't matching orders between customers allowed for a broker? Ursa..

Not shut down, correct, but I am certain that a lot of participants here in EUR have planned a day off tomorrow. You're right that this sometimes leads to funny opportunities, but it is difficult to trade them. The market is definitely thinner. Ursa..

If the above text is an example of how your thinking process is structured I don't have high hopes for you. Best of luck, all the same. Ursa..

No, but a very worthwile read all the same. Thank you. I also don't think it proof of the 30sec simple method paradign the OP had in mind :) Ursa..

What version; never had that problem. User-interface behaves exactly the same in both real- and paper-account. Only diff is that with limit orders the simulation wants the opposite bid/ask to come towards you, so no simulation of queued bookorders. Ursa..

Maybe not in the US, where anything free has a hard time to survive. In the rest of the world it is still alive and kicking, mostly volunteers and hobbyist, lots of independant artists, or special interest music with no loyalties. Take a look at http://www.shoutcast.com/ I think the music...

I think TOS has pretty decent analysis, most don't need anything more. Btw. I think you would'v learned more trying not to loose $3000 on the option markets. Can't imagine anything told in 2 days being worth that much. Ursa..

That is not correct. Several European futures definitely trade less volatile and are the lazy periods endure longer. The fact that there is no open at 15:30 in NY gives everyone less reason to trade. Ursa..

You're just a dumb spammer. Aren't you aware that a lot of people won't ever do business with you anymore because you wasted their time and insulted their intelect by spamming in this forum? Idiot. Ursa..

Yes of course, but why not close both contracts instead of keeping both open? Whats the (psychological) advantage?? Ursa..

Is dip-buying the same thing as averaging-down?

I strongly recommend ButtonTrader It's simulator mode is free for the first 6 months, after that you pay $27 a month. It's simulator engine is one of the best I've seen, regarding slippage and order-timing. It just feels like the real thing. In fact, you have to take care not to trade for real...
