jsmith Does your order stay on the screen with purple in the status column? I have the same problem today. If so, I believe you can just change your quantity to 0.

I'm watching TVLY premarket on Tuesday; it's moving up, so I check the news before I decide to jump on the bandwagon. It's being acquired by another company that already owns a lot of the shares. The price is $23 cash; it's not a stock-for-stock deal. The stock goes all the way up to $25 and...

Sabena Just found one that offers no minimum ticket charge. http:www.thinkorswim.com/ 2.95/contract No idea if they're any good.

I used to be able to get them at http://www.financialweb.com/ I just tried their website, and it's not responding, so I don't know if this link will work.

Check out http://www.tortoisecapital.com I heard a presentation by the guy that runs this site. He does something called mutual fund switching. The premise, if I remember correctly, is that strong mutual funds should continue to perform well over a period of weeks to months. I guess he's been...

Check this out http://www.donz.com/

There are a couple threads here on that firm; if you do a search you'll find some information.

sabena I believe EchoTrade has the same rates as IB. Not 100% sure though. Of course, they're a pro firm.

Baron When you first go to the homepage, there is an 'unread post' link next to many threads that have actually been read. When I first go to the homepage, every thread has that link next to it. Then if you click on 'view all forums and threads' at the bottom, the unread posts link is only...

I thought EXPE might get a nice run today, so I bought a Feb 55 call option. This was at 9:34, and the stock was trading about 54.50 or so, and the option was trading at about 3. At the close of trading today, the stock was trading above 56, and the option is trading about 2.5. The stock has...

bundlemaker I had the same problem with eSignal and symbol limits. I called tech support, and apparently every time you change a symbol in a chart, it keeps your previous symbol stored, and it counts against your symbol limit. So if you have 12 charts up, change each of them 4 times, you now...

The only thing I can think of to get rid of some of the spam is to prohibit members from posting links to other websites (or email addresses) until they have a certain # of posts--say 25 or so. That's only a partial solution, but it will discourage vendors from popping up all the time. If I'm...

How did you manage to do this? Do you have to know programming? Is it something peculiar to QCharts, or can you do this with any quoting package? I would love to have the option of trading from a level 2 box.

DAT you're killing me. Good stuff.:)

If you have data provided through a brokerage, there is a good chance you will have the complete ISLD book in the montage. If you have data from something like eSignal or QCharts, typically you will only get the top of the book for each ECN. In some cases you will get the ARCA and REDI books...

I tried it several months ago. I don't know whether they changed the program or not, but it seemed pretty worthless at the time. On the website they showed past performances where the software made $10K on several days. I don't know how they could prove something like that. All the software did...

lojze There are several threads on this site re Echotrade. If you do a search, you'll probably find what you're looking for.

voodoo IANAL=I am not a lawyer? Never seen that one before.

I can't imagine your brokers would consider it worth their bother settling the trade between them. Your primary broker isn't obligated to do anything about it; system outages are just part of the business. What I've done to save the spread in cases such as this is trade with myself, using an ECN...

Hey Tony I was watching IGEN too, but I didn't play it. It looks from my chart like it just shot up from 45, but when I watched it after the halt, it started out at 51 and started going down from there. It must have bounced at 45 and shot up. I gave up on it because I didn't see any...
