The only reason Swift exists today is because they do not have any competition. Even in the heyday of trading (late 90s) they would have been shredded by any US competition. Bright apparently has started a small office in Toronto. They also have a few remote traders in Canada. I would...

Market Data Fees We are required to pay a per person monthly fee to each exchange whose quotes we display on your TWS. To provide our active traders with a superior level of market data delivery services, and to keep transaction fees low, IB will begin to charge Market Data Fees . These fees...

Chris Schumacher is a trader that used to work with Ken at mtrader.com. He later left to form realitytrader.com with Vadym. He actually checks out this board once in a while so you may catch him. I think he uses ChrisRT as a handle. I think Chris is very good. I've watched him on rm.com and have...

I just read Ken Wolff's new book and I was extremely dissapointed. It is just fluff. He spends around 3 pages explaining that a trader has to be careful that his quotes are not late! I'm a regular at realmoney.com and in my opinion Ken's style is one that rode the wave in the mo-mo mania of...

could IB put the shortable stock lookup window into the homepage (just underneath the menus on the left column) a small change but would save a lot of precious time when trying to see if something is available for shorting. No real reason why we have to burrow into the website to get this...

fruit its very high in nutrients, its easily digested by the body and it is healthy ....I try to avoid a lot of liquids for obvious reasons :p

yes, you are correct in your understanding that it is the hedging of mm's (ie selling short when they sell an option)

oh yeah, as if he did a great job with his priceline.com shares/options! ps I am officially a geek (having replied to this thread) :D

I don't want to start a rumour. I simply thought this might be interesting. Remember that news is not important but how it is perceived: http://www.drudgereport.com/flash7.htm

I've known about MarketX's policy to provide money to those that put a limit order in their book (that is later executed). Apparently they pay up to $10/transaction. If your limit order is for 1000 shares and the other side is a large institution or brokerage then you get paid 1c/share...

This and others like it (metamarkets.com) were a direct result of the frothiness of the market. http://poweredby.morningstar.com/PoweredBy/news/Wire/1,1682,6009,00.html?CN=brf295 http://www.thestreet.com/funds/funds/897535.html

Steve, with all due respect, for a concept to 'change the face' of another it has to add something which is not there previously. Since you have failed to show us an example where Float Analysis shows a signal where (old boring and 2 dimensional) technical analysis doesn't, I and others fail...

I think we are headed for some very interesting times. Greenie is trying to re-inflate the bubble. Everyone (avg investor) is in a fetal position thinking if we just go back to those times we will be fine. They have seen all those sweet, effortless gains from 1998 onward disappear. Truth of...

I don't want to sound like a consipiracy loonie but the Canadian press will not give this one iota of ink or camera time. The will have 6 large advertisers fuming at them if they do. No cigars to those that can guess which 6 !?!

IB doesn't have the following I'd like to short: INVN MEDC CRYP VSNX WEBX CPHD VISG They do have the following to their credit: AVAN AATk 2 out of 9?!? c'mon guys you can do better! I'm sure those 7 will be miraculously 'available' once they are a fraction of their present...

Tony, thanks for taking the time to clarify this for us. Just wanted to ask why you would have lost the position when the stop loss would have been much higher than $11.35 (close of previous day)? Wouldn't the stop have been placed at $11.48 or $11.80 (high on Monday)?

I was wondering if it is legal to box a stock (go long and short). There are many reasons for wanting to do this, one of them being shorting on a down tick. Do brokers allow this?

just wanted to point out that the new drivers for Matrox cards (from Sept) corrects an error where it caused 'bleeding' on java software (really annoying since I used the JTWS of IB) Glad they fixed this!

I was looking at EMC after today's close and noticed that it might fit into Tony's filter for the 'sky scraper' and I wanted to see if Tony or Sniper can answer a few questions. First of all, when and where do you enter the trade? In this example EMC is offering a resistance level at $13.60...

Another great source of info on macro economic analysis (although with an obvious bias) is www.prudentbear.com If nothing, they are serious practitioners and not susceptible to the Wall Street analysts' conflicts of interest. Another one is www.mises.org (L. von Mises is one of my...
