    WTF is it going to to take to get the security device from IB?????

    PM Sal with IB or John with IB (both of them posted in this thread). Each of them individually told me to PM them if I ever had a problem with IB. Not going to help you with your current order, but it should get you past the first line of people at IB C/S.

    WTF is it going to to take to get the security device from IB?????

    Nah, I don't in any way believe it was punitive with what happened. I do believe it was a C/S breakdown/failure that was resolved once I swawked in the correct place. I really don't think it'd be in their best interests to intentionally try to screw their clients our of accessing their accounts.

    HA, women sues AAPL for $1M over $200 price cut....

    Since you brought it up, do you know the entire story about that suit or simply the headline 'you gotta be kidding - coffee is hot and they're suing?' knee jerk public reaction? Read this article reprinted from the WSJ. McDonalds KNEW their coffee was too hot and could cause burns yet they...

    WTF is it going to to take to get the security device from IB?????

    I apologize about blasting IB in my initial post that started this thread. I was VERY frustrated over this process stretching into its third week with seemingly no resolution after four attempts/contacts (three phone calls/temp passcode and an email C/S survey response I provided). It seemed I...

    WTF is it going to to take to get the security device from IB?????

    Fine. The address is correct and it has been verified/accepted by IB over three weeks ago. I called the number and got, guess what? The exact same story. 1. Where's the one we sent you? It was sent to the wrong address. My address is correct in your system. I need a new one. 2. Oh, OK...

    WTF is it going to to take to get the security device from IB?????

    WHAT THE HELL do I have to do to get the goddamn IB security device actually sent to me? You (IB) sent me the device to my old address. You never informed me it was coming. You just sent it. I had moved after you sent it and I had informed you of the address change. Yet it was sent to the old...

    Chicago trader seeking advice

    Pork.... You (I don't believe) haven't stated any type of trading method. If it's quick in and out stuff of scalping, well, recognize that it's the HARDEST of all trading to accomplish, especially when you're just starting out. Not saying you can't do it, but it's damn tough, especially if...

    XP pro - install on 2 PCs

    1. Yes you can install it. No problem with getting it on the PC. 2. No. Because if you attempt to do any Windows Updates, it will attempt to validate the install. It won't work. Well, actually, it might if the two PC's are IDENTICAL in all aspects, but I think MS even looks at the processor's...

    10% Dell coupon code

    It worked on a 24" monitor, only in the Small Business section. BUT BUT BUT by using it, it deleted the $100 discount already on the monitor. So buy using this coupon for that monitor, the cost went up to $602.10 rather than the regular price of $569.

    Ninjatrader with a static DOM?

    Ninjatrader, after settling with the TT, changed their static DOM to a dynamic one, since that didn't infringe on the patents and also didn't require a per trade compensation to TT. Search ninjatrader's site to find out the detail.

    ER2 "moving house"

    Why not just follow it to the ICE exchange under its new symbol? Other than the inevitable blip with the change over on the 17th, why would anything actually change? Unless ICE/NYBOT charge massive exchange/other fees for it (which would be suicide), what's really going to be different...

    Lost 5000 bucks on a FAT Finger mistake

    I lost $785 in 16 seconds this AM because my auto-entered-upon-execution ER2 stop was too tight. I shorted nicely and it backed up on me in a blink of an eye. It then stopped dead in its tracks after stopping me and then went in what would have been my favor for over three points. Don't beat...

    Office Space Tampa Bay Area

    He's saying take the entire space then sublet some of your unused space. A grand a month for 600+ sq ft? A SCREAMIN DEAL in a Class A space. I'm here in the Chicago area looking at MAYBE class C space and 200 sq. ft is $800 a month. 151 sq. ft of class A in an executive shared office...

    CNBC Cheerleaders - WTF?

    They just showed a chart coming off the commercial. Since OF COURSE they can't show the daily or even five minute chart of the dow dumping, what did they show? A five minute tick chart. 11:46 - 11:51 central time. And of course, it was showing an increase. The damn TICK CHART! God I...

    Making $200-$400 a day (average), realistic goal for a new trader to grow into?

    I don't think that badly of him, and I too would totally ignore the setups and 'these stocks lead the market' stuff as it's old and wrong, but the head game stuff and how the market acts is really good stuff for a total newbie.

    Making $200-$400 a day (average), realistic goal for a new trader to grow into?

    Agreed. No need to lose it all. I'm just trying to get him to accept worst case situations so IF it happens, he knew it going in.

    Making $200-$400 a day (average), realistic goal for a new trader to grow into?

    One thing I forgot... The trading psychology books are excellent (Steenbarger's are great too plus the Douglas I mentioned.) but until you're aware of the psychology you're dealing with, the books won't produce too many 'aha' moments. Sort of like 'you don't know what you don't know until...
