sounds like someone has other plans for 4:20 :p .... ya i can't make it either. maybe next time

Iv never traded options before but I am very impressed by your profit so far. Do you trade them through trend analysis and graphs or based on instantaneous market conditions? What is the most used approach to options?

Can you answer what ratio of winning to losing trades you are doing?

what is reach?

they dont let the platform run during news? i dont get it. why would they allow orders to go through if they know they cant fill the other side? id imagine during major movements they would just delay the fill until the order is accepted by a market maker or another client, that is if they jump...

Sorry for the newbie question. but what is the RTH flag? I did a google search on it and this thread was the first result :p

has anyone traded news on IB and currenex? Im curious about someone's first hand impressions.

most dynamic IPs assigned by ISP are limited to ranges 24.53.78.* etc for specific nodes. having a specified range might be a solution. not an ideal solution for dynamic IPs, but is pretty good for people with static IPs. as for what happens if the computer with the IP assigned to it is...

I remember back in high school we use to infect our friend's computers with trojans all the time for pranks. Apps back then like BO had easy to use screenshot functions. If trojans back then had that kind of functionality I could only imagine what they are like today.

from the sounds of it they are offering a few different devices, up to 150$ deposit? perhaps they are going to offer a hardware dongle or something along those lines.

perhaps for the API users. if you choose to opt out you are forced to provide an IP range which IB only allows you to connect on. iv been hoping for this feature since i only trade from a single IP address.

if someone records a screenshot of the 'non standard digits/characters pad, and sees where you clicked on that pad and in what order... how would they not know your pin? maybe i dont understand the concept correctly. the pin does'nt change correct?

if you use 'software' or 'hardware'. and think you are 100% safe. you might find yourself mistaken one day. exploits are found in almost every system, every OS, lots of pieces of networking hardware etc. thats not to say an RSA key gen setup doesn't run the risk of its own cracks or exploits.

mouse loggers and screenshot taking is just as easy as key logging.... i dont see how that provides any extra protection beyond the fact that most hackers only use keylogging ... currently.

you would choose the chance of a hacker trojaning your machine, getting your login/pass and pumping and dumping your whole account over carrying around an RSA key generator with you and spending an extra 5 seconds entering a number after your password? :confused:

yeah it will have two buttons on it. mac users wont be able to figure it out. :D

I wonder if they had the same fears when deciding to make cars require unique keys to start. "what if they lose them?".

Will there be any costs associated with the new security device or will that be factored into account fees? I guess that spells the end of IBcontroller. Save a pneumatic arm to press the button on the device and a text recognition camera to read the response pin.

I trade a small amount of currency futures every month. maybe 5-20 a day. I am a bit wary about switching over to unbundled pricing but heard in almost all instances it will provide lower costs. Should I remain using bundled until I start consistently trading well over 300 contracts a month?

how much did you lose? if you dont mind me asking.
