You should be able to get financial statements, private or not. OldTrader

First, I have no doubt at all that IB is not the low cost provider in futures. Nor are they in stocks. If cost is that important to you, you should not deal with IB...it's really that simple. Makes no difference to me. But let me give you a different perspective. Evidently cost is quite...

All you gotta do is make sure you figure it out for execution, clearning, exchange and regulatory for each breakpoint. Not that tough...but either way, it's not IBs fault if some of us get the figures wrong. For what it's worth, your table is very difficult to read, but it looks like your...

Jack: That number you arrived at for 10,000 sides is incorrect: First 300 sides are at $2.35 Next 700 sides are at $2.15 Next 9000 sides are at $1.80 You do the math of the above is comes out to $18,410. For 10,000 sides that is $1.841 per side. Per roundturn that is $3.682. For...

For EPrado and Surdo: Before you guys convict Holly Becker and her husband Michael Zimmerman (who traded for SAC) right here on ET, perhaps you should have done a little more extensive research: These charges that you have cited were eventually dropped...

You seem to be asking questions that IB went into detail at the link you were provided. Did you read the link??? Further, you are able to do a search on brokerage filings. You can find listing of firms according to net capital for example filed with the SEC, or with the CFTC, at which IB...

Don't know much about DeMark. In fact, I got a couple of his books laying in my office somewhere that I only skimmed through, never read. But I gotta tell you, I'm pretty impressed with PTJ and his results. I'm also impressed with SAC. Not sure how or why anyone would knock these guys...

According to their website, Velocity Futures offers $3.47 for 5000 roundturns plus $500 for the standard X-Trader, which adds $.10 per contract, or $3.57. http://www.velocityfutures.com/commisions_full.asp?exchanges_id=1 Now, maybe they negotiate down farther, I can't tell you one way or...

Ok Jeb: In my first post in this thread I used an example of 2000 round turns, and said the rate was $3.80. You said the following: I then calculated out the rate for 2000 roundturns (4000 sides), which was $3.80. Now perhaps your point in this thread was to quote the IB commission...

Jeb: First 300 sides is 2.35 Next 700 sides is 2.15 Next 3000 sides is 1.80 If you do the math, the total here for 4000 sides is $7610. That works out to $1.9025 per side. Figuring this out per round turn works out to $3.805 for 2000 roundturns. You can't figure it the way you...

First, they haven't reduced commissions. But using the unbundled rates they are lower than some expect if you're doing some volume. Just gotta make sure you calculate them correctly. For 2000 contracts round turn, I get $3.80. That includes execution, clearing, exchange and regulatory. I...

I guess you gotta wonder what happens to all the day traders that are short here in the next half hour. OldTrader

Evidently you're still long I gather since we didn't get to 1261. Is that right? Currently 1242. OldTrader

Not negotiable that I know of, but make sure you're looking at unbundled. If you're doing any volume it's cheaper than bundled. http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/fees/commission.php?ib_entity=llc

I doubt there is many of these guys around austin. In fact, in my time of of trading S&P futures (since they began in 1982), I've known exactly none. That said, I'll grant that I don't know all futures traders, and that there could be someone out there doing this. But stop and think about...

Here's a partial reprint of an email I received from ButtonTrader in June: You can go to ButtonTrader.com, click on downloads, and then click on "release update", then click "release notes". This will give you the information I gave, and perhaps some other info. OldTrader

I'm using TWS 885.2 standalone with Java 1.6 beta 10. No problem getting bulletins either yesterday or today (I downloaded 885 yesterday). I haven't looked, but perhaps there's something that turns off bulletins in the "configure" tab. One thing I noticed about 885 is that I had to...

So that you know, there was a bug in all TWS versions since 882 regarding certain orders entered by API programs. Version 885 corrects this problem. ButtonTrader advised updating to 885 as soon as it was released. OldTrader
