I am sorry that you lost money in the market. One thing that I tell people trying to learn how to trade is that you need to 'own' your trades. You need to not look for outside reasons for losing but what your not doing right. When you reach the point of understanding this rule of trading...

slow day. spent much of the day looking for a prop shop like echo or hold brothers for a better rate/deal than IB. Not sure IB can be beat for price??? + 552

Another day where I was able to do some paperwork as a result of no real trades on my radar screen coming up. LVS did manage to move up strongly in the open but faded back down most of the day further and further. LVS ended about $6 a share up slightly from Friday. I booked a suite at...

Best to you Brandon!!

Are there any left??? But seriously, They along with MMs would not be subject to it so of course they are all in favor of bringing it back. Having an uptick rule gives MMs an edge over the general public.

Change in handle. I requested that ET change my user ID as a result of my company (1Reason, Inc.) Assets being sold and the planned mothballing of the corporation. I am going to test drive this for a while and if it feels a bit 'too' public perhaps I plead with ET and will revert back...

Follow up with my experience with IB yesterday IB tech support tried to call me at home as that is the number they have on record. Since I trade in an office I did miss that call but not their fault. they also updated the support ticket to let me know and I updated the same to give my...

Very nice opening for me with AU dropping big premarket. + 4943

I have found the unbundled is better for me as I add liquidity in over 90% of my trades. IB customer service has been a very frustrating experience for me though so keep that in mind as you shop brokers.

Thank you for your reply. I 600K-1.3 mil shares per month with an average ticket size of about 200 shares. I trade stocks and options and mostly short. I scan the top 1000 stocks by volume so I need to be with a broker with a good short list. Best to you

Your right about that. The thing is that I do have a super fast system. Dual (not dual core) 3.2 gig xeon HP workstation with 4 gig of ram and XP pro x64 OS. So you would guess that it was not my system but here is the thing about TS. They don't care about my system but they do care about...

Follow up to my post before. After over two hours of waiting to chat with someone I gave up. Still have the problem with partial orders disappearing on the book trader and the price also disappears in the main screen.

Someone show me a deal that is equal to the commissions (retail or prop) and has as good as short list and I am gone

Pretty easy to see who the elitetraders are and the 'eliteINVESTORS' ARE. sec did a study and found that the uptick rule doesn't change how a stock basically performs. Kinda reminds me of the movie Other Peoples Money where Larry the liquidator is talking about if this happened and that did...
