The CME hub in London is new, and if you have a direct connection to a UK broker, who then has a direct connection to this hub - that is as good as it gets - i understand that the globex terminal is a real pain and has not been developed - so a PATS with a Uk broker with the direct...

candletrader ok, i guess that you are talking stocks and not futures but i did have a look at the TWS for stocks and it offered the BEST or you could choose the exchange for trading the SPY for example - how does IB not get you in quickly in comparison to another company

Navigator These "cheap" commissions are killing me... GREAT COMMENT! Real life is a lot different to most of the theorist's comments on here

Def I dont understand what causes the delays at IB with the globex feed for futures to the TWS You seem to agree that it happens and specifically when the market is moving quicky, but why does it happen? its just a stream of dats that IB sends out and then gets distriburted to all the...

candletrader since their (IB)order-routing is way too time-consuming for precision scalping what exactly do you mean by this and how is tradestation's order routing different

metooxx do u see my point though - will there be people to move the markets - in times when there is no real force to move the market if everyone is on the same playing field - and you lose some of the levels of having an edge - so you remove some of the forces that move markets

the grey area can of course cost you a lot of money - paying the same attorney and all the other costs - when you have to defend the basis of the grey area - which as it is grey - is a great way for the attorney to make money every which way

at the moment you have a bunch of guys in the pit in chicago who make their money from moving the futures index prices - and they use that movement to make themselves money and the cash in the main follows - but if these guys are not doing it - and it is only the distance buying and selling of...

tntneo i am absolutly sure there are lots of people making big bucks trading stocks - i have just never intra- day traded them - so as it happens - i have no idea of the risk reward - i know futures offer opportunities every day - based on the same parameters - so you do not have to keep...

tntneo IB on here seems to be like the wife - can't live with her - can't live without her But although people do like the J Trader interface - that is what it is -an interface - it is the introducing broker and the clearer which is important Stocks are a whole other issue, and i dont...

IB seems to be the only broker anyone on here uses, and since IB also do futures, options and stocks - they are going to get the most crap - and rightly so as dealing with the problems will make them the best but doesn't anyone else use another broker which has problems or are there no other...

Cdntrader climaxes and replacement Cocks - no wonder they are under pressure - but i hear they have the balls to shoot for the sky!

PATS is a great system and the company wrangels are just the old problem of people who start businesses not always being the ones to take the established business forward - or not being perceived as such Whilst they are still racking up losses - the real work has been done and paid for - so...

tntneo i have yet to use IB although I will try it in the next week - so i have no idea how the platform works - would you say it takes exactly the same time to physically place a limit as it does a market order and do you know if the IB conversion of a market order to limit order means...

surely the platform is irrelevant - assuming it is basically efficient - since it is the routing to Globex which is all important to getting the trade - so PATS with one clearer could be great and slow with another - in most markets the time issue may not be important - but in fast moving...

tntneo why not place a market order - i know it gets converted to a limit order - but since you indicated you just want to get on board when the market moves - have you seen or tried to see the difference between placing and limit and a market order

Tradestation sounds real expensive to me - the 20% more for stocks and 60% more for futures - and i know when i called them - that they sounded like a software seller playing at being a broker

activetrader upgrading the ram would help to make your machine run faster - did you upgrade the ram at exactly the same time as you moved to XP - so in other words - did the machine seem to get quicker just moving to XP - or are you none the wiser as you upgraded the ram at the same time -...

if the annual fee is 2% and you take a cut of 20% of profits and the introducer is providing the investment from third parties who you do not have to sell to - a) if you are going to make money - give the introducer 0% of your 2% = 0%, and 10% of your 20% = 2% as you are the one making...
