trading tws 854.7 version, the last few days we have lost connection for 10secs or so several times a day. the executions on nasdaq have been fine but slow on nyse executions where it has taken 10sec to several minutes and where we had to have IB actually execute the trade as it seemed to be...

I can't follow this one, when will you be able to provide ET with additional information? ie. what is the difference between Market Guidance and Magus? - Does you law suit have anything to do with trading? Charles Cottle is an options expect who has written several books and has a website...

It has been lagging for over a week here. You will notice it more premarket. w

also in these circumstances the brokers ace in the whole is that if the stock(s)..market moves quickly for what ever reason the brokers have the right to evaluate the stock options values thus also creating margin/liquidation situations.. many times I have written or bought options to have the...

You might find it interesting to follow his stock picks for a week or two. You will notice almost all do as he predicts...even if for a short period. what I find also interesting is that as soon as he states a stock you will notice the Island bid/ask gap in a lot of cases it will gap more...

Have to agree with you there, if you notice the moment he mentioned bkhm it gapped and ran 2dollars.. I have noticed almost all of stocks spike and then retract..over a very short period of time...in some cases over 100percent I also noticed he recommends so many stocks to buy at their highs...

If the US brother wants to trade his brothers account and he has the access codes to enable him to do so then he can. The broker does not care and in their paperwork exempt themselves from responsibiltity of unauthorized trades..If you give some one your codes you are responsible for the...

I use IB as one of my brokers for trader and trade stock pre and after via tws with no problem. Some of tws upgrades need to be modified to allow you to trade in the hours you require otherwise tws will only allow you to trade regular trading hours. IB support should be able to help you, you...

impossible, you can not of been with IB for the last 3years with no problems, no issues, unless you do not trade. if you are going to put in two cents worth to someone looking for help then ethically you should at least tell the truth. constant upgrades some mandatory, data feed issues...

Question. if you have been with IB for over 4years with no problems at all. then why would you have had to call them and as you say..they have always solved any problem.???? let alone the balance of your statement. if it works for you great....but what I don't understand is the constant...

I personally try to play both sides of a trade. I would look to short ie at 21.88-90 area exit 31 and when it retest a support I am comfortable holding a position at I start to scale in. safe support for me 1950 area...so I would look to write a put Jan/Feb depending on premium and wait...

I have a question, why do some many traders here on ET feel so negative about taking about shorts or shorting.. everyday, wk, month - all stocks go both long and short.. it is a part and a needed part of our business.. being either just a bull or bear, you lose out on so many good safe (if...
