    Brokers gave different ES value during yesterday (May 6 2010) crash

    I had a buy fills at about 1059, and in the mid 1060s, incidentally using IB. The 1050's low is correct.

    Should you close your IB accounts now?

    Just want to correct a note from above: Those liquidations are in an account I manage that uses RegT. The portfolio margin accounts I have are a different story due to different frequency of margin check.

    Should you close your IB accounts now?

    I maintain personal and institutional accounts at IB, and in wake of yesterday's action this topic is disconcerting. I do not agree with the individual a page back who said that it's not IB's problem, that these are your own issues are not their problem. I agree, except in a scenario like...

    IB and Anvil

    It's primarily the speed at which I can actively trade multiple stocks. With Anvil, give me 10 seconds and I can put through that many separate orders on different stocks. In IB I can't seem to get this sort of speed. I seem to have to click here, then use my mouse to click in another spot, add...

    IB and Anvil

    I am looking to replicate the Anvil market-maker box as closely as possible in appearance and function while using IB, for stocks. Does anyone know the best approach to take for this, which window to use (I assume BookTrader would be the place to start?), or if one of the third-party front-ends...

    Why go with a prop firm?

    Right. That is more for an experienced, profitable trader.

    Why go with a prop firm?

    If you are able to fund a non-prop account at over 100k and get portfolio margin, the buying power benefits of prop diminish, depending on the trader's requirements.

    I do not watch TV/news etc.. when trading.

    Music is about as good as medication for me: Listening to music, particularly on headphones (even in a quiet environment), seriously increases my ability to focus. TV off, low, or on mute, most of the time - save for times surrounding exceptional market movements.

    Has Anyone Traded From a Palm Pre / Pixi?

    Perhaps you misunderstood my intention. This is not for use to do "serious [trading]", where a notebook might make sense. This is simply for real-time updates, and ability to adjust positions if needed, on a smart phone, that's all, while out for an hour, around town, the beach, etc., having...

    Any comments (not regarding comparison to other phones, but just trading/quoting/charting on either of (or between) these with trading platform or Quotrek? What trading platform have you used on this phone (IB Mobiletrader, TOS, etc., etc.)? How has it performed. My biggest annoyance (and I...

    Big money going into GE calls? 10.8million bucks.
