    TradersCap/GoldenBeneficialSEC ?

    http://www.traderscap.com http://www.goldenbeneficialsec.com These appear to be brand new; They reference Penson; The TradersCap fee for $100,000 buying power seems equivalent to lower-cost prop houses. The urls appear to be new as of August of 2008 (YOW.) If you google...

    Okay, you've digested your turkey... Any updates? Anything besides Sterling available? Who'd you go with? Any installation/set-up issues?

    IB execution on live versus paper trade

    TRANSLATED: "We don't know the answer to your question, nor even where to start, and since our money is not at risk ['we don't trade'] with our own platform, we choose to attack you instead."

    Problems with entering orders into IB?

    THANK YOUUUUU. Bummer me, though, cuz I don't get the daily paper-trade drill to keep the skills sharp. (That's been quite a comfort while I get some non-trading issues resolved.) But it's great to see that sensible feature -- thanks for the info.

    Problems with entering orders into IB?

    I'm not, but I took my account below $100 last month yet didn't wish to close it (I'll be funded again on Feb. 1). I didn't want to wipe out all my settings and fine-tunings. IB has not charged me for a data feed this month, so it's possible they sense the "hold" pattern. That'd be cool...

    I've not seen this before, but both paper and live are "down."

    White Monday?

    Roulette doesn't have memory; markets do. (Though I appreciate the grain of truth in your assessment. Keynes said "The markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain liquid.") Thus, "The market's always right." Even when it's wrong.

    How Do We Nail the Bottom?

    Wasn't it Keynes who said "The markets can remain irrational long after you can remain liquid."

    IB execution on live versus paper trade

    Honestly, I think the currency trading should be stamped "WAY-BETA" and not released to live accounts period. I used it in the early part of this year, and noticed more errors, non-functioning functionality, and inter-pairs inconsistency than I could believe. I "made" $50.00, but feel like I...

    Worst TWS Yet?

    Along with the above-mentioned bugs, I've also had graphs that refuse to go full screen properly -- instead their aspect looks like they're expecting a 19" screen instead of my 17s. The fix (make "full size" with cursor drags) is easy enough, but every flippin' time I load? Phew! Still...
