I had a cable hookup from @ Home for many years , It would drop the connection a lot , especially during the last 30 minutes of the trading day ( right when the kids got home from school) . @ Home could never figure it out . I got DSL connection as backup , never had any real problems with...

Overall I like IB , I am saving a lot on commissions. No complaints with them .

You are a touchy one now aren't you. Do you work for IB ?? 200 cancells a day ?? So you trade about once every 2 minutes. Wow Ib must give you incentives for all that trading , I bet they offer to wash your diapers and panties. As for my computer , that is not the issue with the cancels...

Sanjuro said : "It's not a virus. It's just a program created by some trader who wants to get back at other traders for taking his money. The programs have different purposes (some delete all system files off the computer) while others open back doors to your system so the creator can...

Sub Second cancels ?? Yes it will come off the Island book ( if i route there) immediately when I cancel but it hangs on the Java applet for about 10 seconds. I have used other trading platforms , interactive is not the best in that department . But I can deal with that considering the...

You need to find out what kind of virus you have . You may have to edit your registry file to get all of the virus out. I Had something like that once , The virus was hidden in a file , Norton did not pick it up . I had to clean the virus first via Norton , then I had to clean my registry . I...

The point is they had the option for best ecn and now they don't . I have been Day Trading long enough to know how to route. With the trading platform they give us and the slowness of displaying a confirmed cancel I liked the best ecn feature. Bottom Line - I like to have as mony options...

Thats sucks , the best ECN route is an important option. I like to see my order hit the ecn book ( usually ISLD) , so that if I cancel I can see it leave the book. Canceling an order takes to long to show up on their software. I love the low commissions but if this causes trading issues I...

The best time for trading is 10 - 11:45 and the last 30 minutes. Do I follow this rule , not exactly. A lot of day traders say dont trade the open , I have mixed feelings on this. As for that dead zone from noon to 2:30 , I have lost most of my money during that time trying to determine...

Sometimes the smart order routing will get hung up , not as much now as before mainly because of super soes. I used the Cyberx platform , with level II quotes enabled all you had to do was click the market maker or ecn and transmit your order. I was always happy with the execution speed I...

:p

Open an account at IB for your smaller lot trades . Get the Cyber-x platform if you stay with Cyber Corp . For a quote service use either e-signal or Nextrend . I have used both and currently use Nextrend. The feed on E-signal is a bit better but Nextrend has better charts . only reason I...

Is your friend using a dial up modem?? I have no problems , although today ISland was down for them .

Martha Said : "Ohmy Gawd! Musicman, your words are music to my ears. Of course, I want to see your banana (!) There's nothing like a sweet banana to peel-off in the morning. It's the breakfast of champions - they say" I say : Ok , well on good days I trade in the nude , so maybe...

I never see any sun because I sit in front of my PC all day trying to make $$$$. This is me after a good day trading. Martha do you want to see my banana ??

I opened an account at IB this month as many others have to "test the waters" I also wanted an account to trade small lot trades ( less then 500 shares) . I have been using Cypercorps Cyber X platform for 2 years .Great company and I like the software . Now when I was doing over 100 trades a...

You are wrong. I had a trade base of over 100 trades a month , so my trades were $ 9.95 per trade . Most of my trades are on Island so there is no ECN fee. I use Cyber - X , the trading platform is top notch and very easy to use. My only reason for opening an IB account is for small lot trade...

Yes Cyber Corp does make good on an erroneous trade . Happened to me on a short of CSCO. Long story short they doubled up on my short sale , so I called them and they said the second trade was valid so I proceeded to cover covered both shorts . There were many Island system problems that day...

I don't have an active account as of yet , however I was on hold today for 40 minutes with a fund transfer question before I finally gave up . I was going to fund my account but now I am a bit reluctant to trade with this firm. They have to cut to many corners with the cheap commissions. The...
