Most of the complaints seem like administrative ommissions or the need to get their software tweaked. I like this one. In addition, during the period March 2003 through August 2003 (“the Second Relevant Period”), Interactive introduced for execution on the NYSE thousands of odd-lot...

Well my memory of the GOOG liquidation incident wasn't quite correct. Here is what happened after the IRA was wiped out: "Our account review is now complete. Due to adverse price movements in the price of Google, your account number UXXXXX incurred a debit balance of $9,207.65, which...

We had a similar discussion on ET a year or so ago. An IB customer held some GOOG (I think) calls. On Options Expiration friday at 4PM GOOG was very slightly under the exercise price. He logged out figuring he was OK. However, he was not aware that CBOE options trade until 4:02. The...

Since you are already familar with IB I'd look at their Friends and Family Account (advisor account). You'd be responsible for producing a total of $30 in commissions across all three accounts. If you currently produce $30 in your trading account you are covered. If you generate less...

Q+: The Wikipedia article you reference says: A key point is that every hypothesis must be tested with evidence that was not used in constructing the hypothesis. This is because every data set must contain some chance patterns which are not be present in the population under study, or simply...

If you use the link below you will see the IP address that your service provider has currently assigned to you. http://www.umi.com/whoami I use DSL so I don't have a permanent IP address but a while back I thought I read that cable providers assigned fixed IP addresses. If I power-down...

Non-native (exchange held) stops are held on IB's server, not in the TWS client on the customer's machine. If you are using IB's API you can code up anything you wish and hold it locally with all the uncertainty of a connection loss and subsequent failure to trigger, etc. You can also use...

Q+: I don't understand this at all. Is your example correct? If I enter a SMART-routed oder for 200 shares I get billed $1.00 no matter where the order is filled.(.005/share) I use the bundled rates for stocks. Do you use unbundled rates? Please provide whatever is missing from...

DAV: I don't like to call the Hong Kong office for paper trading log-in problems on Sundays (US office is not open and you get a redirect to HK or Europe depending on the time of day here in the US)). I find HK very helpful but don't like to bother them for non-essential stuff like paper...

It's up @ 1822.

I can log into my regular account but the paper trader does not log in, it just keeps trying. Anyone else have this problem? US server Time is 1805 EDT. Jack

Leases are set up in your router (or modem/router). You can set up the length of your lease(s) from a configuration screen in the router. Depending on the router brand you'll find a number of choices. You could set up for a weekly renewal. To get the timing right do an: ipconfig /release...

I used QT with an Interactive Brokers feed today for data and backfill without any problem. Suggest emailing support@quotetracker.com They have always been very responsive. Jack

I trade futures so am not up on "routing orders" that you folks are discussing. Are you basically talking about limit orders away from the market or market orders? In a piece of email I got recently from IB they said: Having described the benefits of our IB SmartRouterTM for years, we now...

Can't really help. I'd try searching the messages in that group. There is a great deal of info but it is sporadic in surfacing. They are normally pretty helpful, no snide remarks. Jack

Craig: I just logged out and logged in here against the US server (using the security token). What do you mean by "locked out"? Jack

Reading through this thread I'm not sure whether you have isolated your problem. If you do automatic updates for Windows read the following. If you dont, ignore. When you look at Task Manager is svchost.exe running. If so - Microsoft has long known of issues with svchost.exe — the...
