Looks like you got links to both of these. I will just add that MobileTrader is IB's software that you can connect to from your cell phone if your cell phone has internet connectivity. I'm using a BlackBerry through Verizon....but there are alot of other possibilities. Mobile Trader is...

First, let me clarify your misconception. I'm not a long term trend trader. I'm an active short term trader, and have been for close to 40 years. I started in this business as a broker with a major international firm, and since then traded part of the firms proprietary account for a while...

Just thought I'd mention that perhaps the problem is with WebTrader specifically, because I have not had any outages at all this month using TWS. In fact I have not had TWS fail in a considerable period of time. I did have my internet connection go down on me a while back when I had a crude...

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see anywhere in the interview (if that's it in it's entirety) where he tells you to buy orange juice. He talks about it in connection with its weighting in his index, he talks about what would happen if the importance of orange juice changed. He also talks...

Yeah, surf, I read your interview prior to this. If I may say, I thought it was a lousy interview. You had one of the better investors in the world available and you asked shit. LOL. I'd say the interview revealed that your talents don't lie in the interview field. That said, I didn't say...

I agree that these are complicating factors. But in fairness I think it should be pointed out that these are complicating factors for virtually any investment. A tech stock for instance is going to pay 0 dividend (and therefore has a carrying cost). Your return is going to be diminished by...

What a classic post there surf. Pushing his agenda. Yeah, I guess he's telling you he's bullish on commodities, bearish on the dollar, just as he has been for quite some time. So what? He's been saying many of the same things for the last 10 years. He's been "very wrong in the past"...

Sounds like you don't really follow Rogers. Rogers for instance was saying to buy Midwestern farmland...a decade ago. He's been talking about grains now for a while. And by the way, all have been very good investments. But Rogers is not a short term trader. So if you make trades based...

If you were short some of, or any of, these bankrupt RE companies, or some of those down 95%, good for you. You made an astute trade. But when you and many of the others around this website starting talking about the demise of RE, the stocks went up another 50-100%. Talk about dignity? Why...

When the order was rejected for lack of margin, then you closed out other trades freeing up margin, could the order have been resubmitted since it was part of an orginal basket? OldTrader

This has already been "discussed" ad infinitum. Just do a search and you can read those discussions. But isn't it clear? The world, as we know it, is ending. OldTrader

Why was the GBP order "rejected" earlier in the day? You know, I find myself wondering why you think your next step is to sue. Do you have some type of evidence that this was in fact IB's error? Frankly, what we know right now is that an order was submitted from your computer. IB has no...

No problems at all here. OldTrader

1505.50 or thereabouts was Friday's close. Not quibbling with your trade...just don't get why you mentioned Fridays close and 1499 in the same breath. OldTrader

My guess is that almost everyone uses charts to trade NG. And probably uses as many different techniques as are out there. If that's your question. A better question in my opinion might be why trade NG, a relatively thin trader, when you can trade crude oil, a relatively heavy trader...

I've seen most of the appearances....and I've never noticed Boone to be a fade. In fact, you'd have lost your ass fading him unless you were trading a one minute chart. OldTrader

That's right genius....4 markets might be $100. You gotta pay to play as they say. So what you do is you pay the money to get rid of those pesky popups, and then using the proper channels you suggest that they change TWS to eliminate the popup. Oh, by the way, do you notice that you're the...

I am really disappointed that you are one more example of a guy who didn't read the User's Manual BEFORE he used TWS. You simply go to ""configuration" in TWS, then down to "Order", then "order defaults". About 5 lines down is a check box that says "allow stop triggering outside of regulatr...

Look genius.....if I calculated it correctly the charge here is about $25 per month ($200 Hong Kong Dollars). This is what you've been whining about both here and elsewhere. Why not just pay $25 per month to get rid of the pop-up? I suppose you understand that the people you are talking to...

Before you rest your case completely, you might want to address some of the concerns expressed here, just the other day. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=103390&highlight=OEC
