I have been placing many "Limit if Touched" orders that do not get activated because the stock price trades through my trigger price but does not trade at my trigger price. As an alternative to "Limit if Touched" orders, "Limit if < or =" orders and the "Limit if > or =" orders can be entered by...

When Ameritrade plans on waiting to announce their new fees and commissions until after the last date to leave Ameritrade before being automatically swept into and accepting all of the new terms, conditions, fees, and commissions of TD Ameritrade, you can expect the worse. TD Ameritrade, with...

At one time I was running 7 video cards in one PC under Win 98. Worked great.

Thanks Ebo: This information has been most helpful.

Per MB Trading, the 0.004/share uses the following order routing: "1. MBTR is a new order route which offers the same award-winning functionality as MBTX. MBTR utilizes specific liquidity pools without the traditional costs of ECN pricing models to seek "best execution." This new route...

pbw: That used computer you are looking at should do anything in the way of trading you will need. I have been running 9 monitors, 39 open windows, with IB TWS and RealTick programs both open on a lesser computer than the one you are asking about. My trading computer is only 1.2 ghz, 256 mb...

Andrsanm: If interest rates and inflation go way up as they did in the 1980's, you will be laughing all the way to the bank with your 5.75% loan provided it is a fixed rate loan. I expect much higher interest rates and inflation over the next few years.

I have been buying from Trader's Library for 10 years and I have never had any problems with them. I have bought many books at great deals when they have special sales. Have you had any problems with buying books from Trader's Library? Have you ever bought a book from Trader's Library? There are...

Maverick74 He would be a great book author but I am sure there is not enough money in book writing to make his effort worthwhile. I would buy any books he would write. Also, Don Bright falls in this same category.

I do not place stock orders with Ameritrade where I am providing liquidity (I think I would draw the short straw almost every time, sort of like FredBloggs described in his post above). As long as I am taking the existing liquidity, the orders seem to fill immediately.

I have had an account with them for 7 years. I opened the account for trading size in stocks. When I am hitting the bid ask, the order fills seem to be as fast and good as for any of my other accounts. I do not use Ameritrade for orders of less than about 3000 shares due to the commission cost...

I bought RYJPX (Rydex Large Cap Japan benchmark Fund). The futures move is great when I am right but puts the pressure on when I am wrong.

I have had this happen several times when my ISP service was interrupted. My problem is with the auto save of TWS when the connection is interrupted and TWS starts going through a repeat cycle of trying to re-establish the connection and saves to the settings.xml file the default page settings...

Long term, I look for the Nikkei to trade within three years above the all time high of 40,000. I put $100,000 into the Japan market yesterday (I could pull the money back out at any time as I buy and sell a Topix 100 Index tracker on a day by day basis). I think the Japan market is now fairly...

I have been doing more work on the upgrading to TWS 856 and found that I have no problem in upgrading from TWS 855 to TWS 856. The problems are in upgrading from TWS 853.8 to TWS 856 (all of my page layouts were lost and not listed under PAGE > SETTINGS > LAYOUTS and TWS 856 Trading page...

Does MB Trading charge a 50 cent fee for each check written on the checking account they offer to their customers? The MB web site shows a 50 cent fee for each "bill pay transaction" (what ever that means).

All of the sugar, corn, and soybeans grown in the US would do little to lessen our dependency on oil. The US land base could not grow enough of these crops. That also goes for hydrogen production. It requires energy to produce fuels from these sources. Hydrogen requires more energy to produce...

I expect the Japan bull market to continue and move far beyond the all time high. The new and young generation of Japan investors will through money into the Japan market and drive the valuations to unreasonable highs. It has been a long wait for the Japan move but the move is now on. For me...

A good compromise would be to have an account at IB and an account at MB Trading. In my mind, both of these brokers are at the top of the "best brokers list".

I use Captools accounting software to calculate and print my schedule D-1. I import my buy sell transactions into captools and let the program take care of the numbers and printing. It takes Captools about a hour to crunch all of the numbers before it is ready to print the schedule D-1 realized...
