    Think of Swim for FUTURES?

    Let's see now, here's what you yourself said earlier this thread: Just in case you're having trouble reading your own words, here they are in caps: "THEY ARE A LITTLE SLOW". Now, would you like to change what YOU said about your broker? Those of us who are following along are having a...

    Think of Swim for FUTURES?

    Before you call something a "weak assumption" you might want to trade for longer than a couple of years son. No one said "having access to a live person in the event of a catastrophe" is "hand-holding". And I would guess that even you would grant that catastrophes don't happen every day...

    Think of Swim for FUTURES?

    Go read you own posts you moron, then think about what you just said. Geezuz there are some fools around here. By the way, never heard that "common response" when I was on the floor. OldTrader

    Think of Swim for FUTURES?

    Frankly I'm amazed that anyone would put customer service ahead of the speed of a quote. But hey, there's no accounting for stupidity. I didn't bring IB up, but since you did, I think they have their priorities right. I haven't needed customer service more than a hand full of times in the...

    In other words, you can get a customer service rep faster than you can get a quote. :p Sounds like they have their priorities backwards. OldTrader

    ES Journal Archive (2006 - 2008)

    Drop what? Why don't you re-read my posts, and then clarify whatever your point is. Just to help you along, I haven't said he would charge or not, and I have not commented on his analysis. In fact, I don't know YOU or HIM from Adam. But based on your comprehension of my posts, I'm concerned...

    ES Journal Archive (2006 - 2008)

    LOL! That would be a bitter pill to swallow in a capitalistic society, wouldn't it? Last I looked, there was no requirement for "altruism" at this site, or anywhere else for that matter. Either way, he will only be able to charge if he is good at it. OldTrader

    ES Journal Archive (2006 - 2008)

    LOL! If he is a lousy trader, and starts charging, no one will subscribe or pay. He will only be able to charge if he successfully provides signals that make money for people. What would the problem be with that??? Sounds like capitalism to me. OldTrader

    I Have Been Trading Since Before The Internet-1990

    I'm thinking you just werent spending enough money.LOL. I didn't have to get the prices from Wall St. Journal 13 years ago. I forget who I was with at the time...maybe ESignal via satellite or something like that. But I could get historic prices. But in 1982 I subscribed to the Wall Street...

    I Have Been Trading Since Before The Internet-1990

    Just thought I'd mention that you could get quotes at home. I was getting realtime quotes via Quotron from a terminal in my home in 1982. It was a small terminal, only could show 5-6 at a time (as I recall) on the screen. If you wanted something that you didn't have on the screen, then you...

    How Safe are Interactive Brokers?

    I'd say this is an incorrect conclusion. The Lloyds policy is intended to insure that amount in excess of the $500K SIPC insurance. So to know what exactly the Lloyd's policy is insuring, you would need to know the number of accounts in excess of the SIPC limits, and their respective sizes...

    would IB ever piggy back your trades?

    Do you have ANY evidence of this, or is this just more of your typical horsecrap? Let's see your evidence. OldTrader

    Getting Proper Sleep During The Trading Week?

    Amazing. I've slept 5-6 hours a night most of my life. LOL. I thought it was normal. My suggestion would be that you should stop obsessing about it. Your body will sleep as long as it needs to. Like the other posts, I'd suggest regular exercise, healthy eating, maybe some meditation...

    TWS Freezing ???

    I was really sorry to read about your latest problem. Amazing how if it had to happen, it happened to you. LOL! By the way, my understanding of the word "shill" is that I'm supposed to get some remuneration for my activities. So, if you wouldn't mind, next time you're in contact with...

    Goldman Sachs talking $14.50 soybeans, $5.30 corn, $7.50 wheat next 12 months

    So I guess you shorted some crude oil at $50 or so when they said it was going to $100 huh? LOL. OldTrader

    Serious IB programming glitch

    Generally I'm trading with a stop, and I have a target that is a limit order, using Build 879.8. I'm also using ButtonTrader. Since I downloaded 879.8 I haven't got the pop-up. I must say though that when I download 879.8, I also downloaded a new revision of ButtonTrader as recommended by...
