I sit in front of 8 CRT monitors all day (can not afford the cost of 8 LCD monitors). This caused my eyes to become sensitive to whatever the monitors give off. I can sit in front of the monitors for ten minutes and my eyes will be in real pain (this is more than eye strain in my case). But...

JPR Capital's commission is $10 per ticket plus any ECN fees if applicable. They do not charge ECN fees if your order adds liquidity. The commissions are better than Terra Nova's, but there sure seem to be a lot of happy Terra Nova and MB Trading customers.

Does anyone know if Nexland ISB Pro 800 Router will work with IB's TWS?

Some days I get disconnects by my Netgear FVS318 Router. The Router Security Log reads: TCP Connection Dropped, Possible Port Scan. I seldom get a disconnects due to TWS.

I use RealTick with 27 windows spread out on 8 monitors. This is a lot of data and RealTick keeps up with this even in a fast market after breaking news. The user customization is extensive. RealTick is worth the $250/mo I have to pay.

a5519: I have also had problems with ATI cards. For multi head cards dual or quad, I have had very good service from the Matrox G200 quad series and the Matrox Millennium G450 series.

I have used RealTick at $250 per month for several years. I have about 30 RealTick windows running on 8 monitors. RealTick has worked great for me.

MrDinky: I use two removable hard drive bays in each tower case. The primary drive stays in one of the bays and I slip in one of the backup drives in the other open bay when I want to make a exact duplicate of my primary drive. I slip the hard drive utility tools disk into the "A" drive, turn...

MrDinky, What brand of hard drive do you now have? I use WD's free hard drive tools to duplicate my hard drives as my normal way of doing my system backups every few days. I have several hard drives I keep on the shelf to rotate my backups.

j_medved, I am not picking on you but you are wrong about my computers not being able to keep up. I worked with IB's Techs during march of 2002 trying to solve the lagging IB's quotes during fast markets at that time and IB could also see there own lagging quotes at that time. However, I have...

Dead motherboard battery (probably not as that would cause a loss of CAMOS settings but you should still get something on boot attempt), Power supply (could be but check connection to motherboard and all hardware), Motherboard, video card, dead monitor. Of these problems, I have had the: dead...

I complained to IB for about 2 years about IB quotes falling behind in a real hot market when I needed the system the most to take advantage of the opportunity of the moment. Some symbols of high volume stocks became untradeable through TWS at such a time. I have and still think the problem was...

I have four of the Matrox g200 quad cards. They are still being made but you can buy them used for about $150 with analog cables. Be sure the cards have the four heat sinks on the chips as these cards generate a lot of heat. Matrox site has the drivers for most any operating system. Buy the...

Many TWS disconnects today while at the same time my RealTick connection is having no problems.

Ameritrade for that size order.

I need IB to fix the following problems with TWS versions 791, 792, and 793: Get rid of the large font size in the "Execution Window" or allow the user to set the font size in the "Execution Window" without changing the font size in any of the other TWS windows. I run nine monitors, but do...

I used a wire transfer one time to send money to IB and that is more hassle than I generally want to deal with. All other times I have sent money to IB, I mailed a personal check and waited. I do not mind the wait except I am not getting interest on the money during the wait. IB could start...

ChrisM: I have been with IB for over three years and I have never placed an order by phone. In the age of computer trading I find that by the time I get a trade placed by phone with any broker, it is much too late. I think you will be very happy with IB as I have.

I agree. The longer government and governmental agencies have been in place, the more corrupt they seem to get, City, County, State, USA, or the same in other countries for that matter.

Maybe that message is what the market makers are looking for. I do not know but suspect the cancelation fees may be the result of pressure from the market makers on the option exchanges, and then the option exchanges putting pressure on the SEC. I get the felling it starts with the market...
