You can trade with any phone that accesses the internet. On IB you use their MobileTrader. Easy enough to use. I doubt you're going to be using it though for "active" trading. It's just not really suited for that in my opinion. I think it would be better for swing trades. Or, in my case, I...

No problems here. TWS 879.8 Java 1.5 OldTrader

Again, if I were cancelling something I would a) send an email and b) get an acknowledgment of said email. Evidently you didn't do this. But in this case, you also didn't cancel your PayPal billing. This is rather easy to do on PayPal. I don't see that you have any complaints. What I...

When you say "cancelled (I thought) my Button Trader subscription", how exactly did you cancel ButtonTrader? This really should have been an easy matter. For instance, you could have emailed them prior to the subscription renewal, and requested an acknowledgment. If you did this you would...

Put all the details about your account in your will. You do have a will, right? Since you evidently do not have anyone else on the account with you, you need a will. In the will, you appoint an executor. You tell the executor about the existence of the will, and where it is. When you die...

First I would suggest that if you want to look at a company's balance sheet, you look at the balance sheet, not at Yahoo's rendition of it. I haven't done that for you, but just in looking at Yahoo's numbers on IB, I would guess that there may be some errors. For instance, you could...

I've been having this problem as well every morning this week, and late last week. My connection goes down a couple of times, usually starting just after the open and lasting for the first couple of hours. The Midwest. OldTrader

Hey Bob: I've followed your picks.....nice job. OldTrader

I don't know if you're older, but certainly you're not wiser! LOL. Just kidding around piezoe...I always respect my elders. Certainly there is a problem in the real estate related businesses. The question is whether we can lay all of this at Greenspan's feet. I don't think so. The...

Look, I know you didn't come to this conclusion after a careful study of Fed chairmen and economics. Undoubtedly you're just regurgitating what you read somewhere on the internet by some idiot. But here's a few points to ponder. During Greenspan's 20 year tenure, there were only 2...

I'd say the worst was G. William Miller.....Jimmy Carter's first appointee. OldTrader

You ought to be able to track down what happened. I'd double check to see how your strategy is set up, in particular what type of stop is entered, etc. Also, don't know if you're aware, but there is a log created for each day in buttontrader. You could take a look at this to see if anything...

Anything possible of course....but I'd hate to bet on it. Put it this way...if you get the opportunity to buy in the 725-750 type of zone basis Dec gold, you ought to be buying with both hands. OldTrader

You need to find yourself a different chart solution. Use Medved, Ensign, Sierra. None of them is expensive. OldTrader

What build are you on? We had that problem several days ago and it was solved by upgrading to 878.5. When I had my problem this AM I didn't log out. OldTrader

As far as I know, the latest version of the standalone is 878.5. We haven't been in the 875 range for a long time. OldTrader

I had a few minutes this AM, from about 8:40-8:48 CST where futures quotes were stuck/lagging, bid-ask wrong. Stock quotes were down just a minute or so then started working again. OldTrader

Looks like you caught him eh? He was wrong in November 2005, changed his view in February, 2006. So I guess you made a fortune fading him back then? LOL. OldTrader

Mine has been working fine all day too. What build are you using? If you're using an older build you might want to upgrade. OldTrader

OK, so bottomline is you didn't know the specifications of the contract you were trading. Evidently you owned it on first delivery date. So you were closed out. Now, I would have had an argument with them if that were the case and then they allowed another opening trade to be made. When I...
