i got bounced about an hour ago and haven't been able to reconnect since :mad:

Market orders are sent smart. I don't have to spend time finding the NBBO, some computer does it for me. Limit orders are sent to Island (very liquid). I watch the book all day. I can see my order posted and if I cancel, I can see it come off the book. I don't have to worry about whether my...

Subject: Alstair Cooke's view on the Current Situation Alistair Cooke is now 90 years old. He was 30 years old when World War II started. I think his memories are worth noting. He was also a scholastic. As they say, "History repeats itself." HE WRITES: "I promised to lay...

Johnny Paycheck------"Take this job and shove it":D :D :D

I use IQFeed. 20 bucks +$3 for exchange fees. Fast and reliable. Used them for 2 months, no down time yet. IB is not tick by tick (so I am told) so total volume will not be accurate, but I could never get volume data with IB anyway (I have vol data on my TWS platform, but not on QT charts or...

The biggest AIDS problem is Africa, 78% effective in blacks, sounds positive to me.

I do not trade with Mytrack, but I have used them for my data feed for almost 3 years. They are tick by tick, very accurate and very little downtime; as good as any I have dealt with and better than most. Many there in the chat rooms trade with them. I have heard few complaints. CS is great.

Think I'll stock up on Depends :D :D

A man is eating dinner in a restaurant. He notices a kid at the next table flipping a quarter in the air and trying to catch it with his teeth. The kid misses, quarter gets stuck in his throat and he starts to choke. The man calmly gets up, walks over, grabs the kid by the nuts, and squeezes...

You make a good point. Question: can these chips be de-activivated by passing a powerful magnet over them?

This is scary. The government may decide that chips are too expensive and just tattoo a number on everyone's arm.

I am considering filing suit against the SEC under the Freedom of Information act to be allowed to see the Island quotes.

I play minesweeper. Gets the brain in gear.

Hasn't yet, but the only stocks I trade on the Curb are QQQ and BBH and I don't trade many of those. I could be lucky.

All my market orders are sent smart. All my limit orders are sent to Island. I keep the Island book open all day and can see when my order is posted. IB has never failed to post one of my orders, usual time 1 sec, +/- a few milli's. Doesn't mean it can't happen, however.

If the order was posted to Island's book and didn't get filled, isn't that Island's fault, not IB?

Depends on the broker. The SEC requires all trades be cleared in 3 days. Mytrack (and I think Datek also, but am not sure) clears overnight. IB takes the full 3 days.

PDT applies ONLY to margin accounts and it applies ONLY to the account, not to the person holding the account. If you wish to establish a margin account, then get a new account number and no past history will be considered. http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/nd0003n.htm
