    SSF Trading with IB's TWS

    Oh yeah, I didn't think of that. You should be able to make it conditional on the stock's price triggers I think OneChicago has gotten better than they were at the beginning. I suppose NQLX is slightly more reliable.

    SSF Trading with IB's TWS

    It might not be worth all the effort, since the SSF follow the underlying stock prices so closely. Might be simpler just to set your order prices based on the stock prices you were going to use to trigger the orders, and just add a couple cents to it. Anyhow, I bet you could try all these...

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    Micro stakes Planet Poker has micro stakes games, and they probably have more varieties of poker than any other site. They even have "Lowball" Draw, which will mess with your mind! All the rules are opposite, pairs are bad, flushes and straights and full houses are worthless. This game will...

    Towards a free options marketplace

    Are the cancel fees not applied equally to anyone regardless of account size? I believe that the cancel fees, however annoying, are not discriminatory the way the PDT rules are.

    o no

    Keep trying and eventually you will find what works for you. Since you're only using play money anyhow, try out as many different approaches as you want. But especially do what suits your own attitude. p.s. have you tried poker or casino games? you can do these with play money too. You might...

    Pattern Daytrading Poll (Continued)

    If you tried that with two accounts, anyhow, and didn't do it often enough to raise suspicions from the firm, you might manage to use it as a backup plan. When I found out in December how easy it is to shift money between separate IB accounts, I got the same idea, but was informed that if they...

    Should a president resign?

    Essentially none. Reagan's brain was being addled by alzheimer's, and he joked about pushing the nuclear button. And Americans called him a great leader. King George III supposedly suffered from a serious mental illness 200 years ago. We revolted against him. (He didn't even speak English!)...

    Just curious of SSF for firms

    I bought two BRCD April contracts in March. I forgot they were Aprils I guess. Last week I found I had 200 shares of BRCD in my account. I have to presume that if I had been short 200 shares before expiration, that I would have been flat after the expiration had delivered 200 shares to my...

    New IB Home Page - Nicely Done

    Yeah, but most people claim that they choose IB for its no frills cheap rates and fast executions. So why are we all of a sudden a bunch of fussy interior decorators about their new color schemes? And where are my stock-trading gold-leaf bikini babes???
