Not sure? Did this happen to everyone? If so this is actually a pain. Having a new account number will cause more work when preparing taxes.

Why did IB make everybodies account universal without requests?

I have this router. I have cable and dsl. My cable speed is about 3 mbs and my dsl is about 650 kbs. Therefore on my main computer I use the cable as primary and dsl for backup. Because the cable is so much faster the load balancing does not improve my speeds. Also if you do load...

Who are you trading with? Track rebate is .005/share.

Yes that is the router I have. I use it with two computers. I bind my main computer (the one that receives quotes and where I enter orders) to the cable (faster) modem. I bind my second computer to the DSL (slower) and use is for chat rooms, web surfing etc. The backup works great. If...

I bought and installed the Nexland router about 2 weeks ago. I use cable as primary ISP and DSL as backup. It is working great for me. I bought the router for $360 and I think it is worth it.

.03 cents/share in clearing fees? I have never heard of that? You may be thinking of SEC fees which are commonly passed on to traders at prop shops. The SEC fees are 1/300 of a percent of the dollar value of all sales. Example: You buy 10,000 shares of a $100 stock (not many left) and...

They are a New York firm and you just got an email from them at Midnight on a Friday holiday weekend? Are you sure you aren't affilitiated with them? Seems kind of strange?

Ahhh I new there had to be a catch. What a joke, .01/share for superdot plus their commissions.

Exactly. I understand system downtime is going to happen but not being able to phone in an order is unacceptable.

Did not know that. Thanks for the tip. Not it matters seeing I will close account or use them only as my backup.

1. I am not a "big" player. $10,000/month in commissions is not that much. Only about 1 million shares per month. 2. I only use mental stops. Entered stop orders are not my style as i prefer the specialist not to see where i place my stops. 3. This was not during nonmarket hours

After todays debacle I am going to close my IB account at months end. I typically generate $10,000 in commissions per month. Today luckily I only lost a few hundred bucks because the system was down and I could not get through to customer service because of busy signals. The system was...
