I agree with you that ECN book should be fully integrated in the TotalView, or maybe eSignal could give the option to hide/show them in this view, but a Totalview should be «Total» IMO. I think the TotalView is a valuable thing, but without ECN, we miss something very important ...

A wireless access point is a «virtual port» for a wireless router, this the samething than the port on a router, a port is a physical plug on a router, you have need of this virutal plug on a wireless router and we rename it access point. BTW, I agree with the comment above this message...

Does Palm Tungsten is a better choice? Any other suggestion?

This web page for the cahrt was available since long time on their website.

Not sure, but I think that mean only that the broker have to exhibit the short volume for the quantity in 3 days, because many brokers in the past have accepted short even if they didn't have enought stock in quantity ... I supposed that the SEC don't want virtual borrow in stock because too...

In the transcript of the IB chat from yestarday, you can read that IB are going to use redundance Server (2x) for to eliminate this down problem, but no time frame for that.

I understand this logic, but where many Canadians have some trouble to follow IB in explanation is for: Why the Canadians as non-US customer on a non-US market as the TSE with no PDT in Canada, we suddenly see the application of this weird PDT on the TSE while you are able to drop PDT on...

Some IB customers from Europe report that the PDT seem not to be effective on the CAC stocks, but as mentionned above, IB Tim seem to say that IB apply the PDT because the IB clearing house is in the USA and that every non-US market will be also restricted by the PDT limitation. What is the...

From IB Tim «The PDT will apply to TSX trading. The reason is that our clearing firm is our US entity IBLLC. As such they must conform to US regulations even if the trading is done outside of the US. We were unsure of this ourselves but consulted with SEC about the issue and that was there...

Does someone from IB could confirm or not if IB will be apply SEC PDT rules on the Canadian TSE even if the TSE don't have PDT? It is hard to believe this rumor from the IB forums when you see that IB don't apply PDT on European or Asian market, we don't see why this will be different in...

take the TSE 60 stock available on the TSE.com and check manually them. Even in the TSE 60 many of them are not very liquid, you should not take too many time for to browse it. Usually major Canadian stock have a US stock also, e.g. NT, BCE, BMO, JDS the only problem is often not liquid...

It is simple, no SEC rules for Canadians that trade the US market if they use a Canadian brokers in the above list or any bank brokers, this mean no PDT and the consequence is that no 25kU$ limit! As a regulator have explain to me, PDT is a SEC rule for the US brokers, non-US brokers don't...

dnaj65000, deadreader don't want to trade Canadian market, he want to use a Canadian broker as a workaround of the PDT when he access to the US market.

Yep US brokers (IB, Datek/Ameritrade, CyberTrader) with Canadian service have PDT, but the converse is not true. Some examples are: -TradeFreedom -Jitney Online Groups (Terra Nova partnershhip) -Disnat Direct -SwiftTrade maybe -Golden Market Management (it seem a PRO div. of ETrade...

I hope also that RRSP account will be available, but I agree with some comments about the fact this kind of investment is very too much restritive in the moment. CCRA should relax some rules after discussion with many major funds and market, as the limitation about stranger holding, or to accept...

I cannot talk for European, but for Canadian it is possible to do daytrading on NYSE or NASDAQ with as few about 5000U$. Some direct access offer penny fee, some other by ticket. If they are 100% Canadian, they don't have to apply PDT, but if they have a US Branch as IB, Ameritrade or...

Just check here from eSignal for some exemple of the advantage of these Powerview: http://www.esignalcentral.com/exchange/05_2003/third_party_spotlight.asp

I understand you point of view that a settlement between and SEC and Ameritrade will not be fairplay for the other brokers as IB who have applied the strict regulation. Hope that SEC will do really his job.

It seem that is a time synch, because the news have been annoucne since few hours : http://reuters.com/financeNewsArticle.jhtml?type=governmentFilingsNews&storyID=3258089 Ameritrade (Datek) says may be disciplined by NASD about the cash settlement! IB_def should be happy since the time...
