    dsl upload speed

    The only way to transfer large files quickly is to (1) make them smaller (compress them before sending) or (2) get a fatter pipe No transfer protocol in the world is going to make up for a slow connection. If you are going to be transferring a single big file make sure that...

    dsl upload speed

    Most residential DSL (or cable or fiber broadband) offerings give you much more download speed then upload. They charge a premium for symmetric speeds because business users typically want those type of connections so its an easy way to differentiate the two types of customers. Empee...

    Well since you want something in writing - show me in writing where IB states they expect you to trade out of any unexpected positions without contacting them first. I won't hold my breath.

    You are taking a chance either way. If you didn't place the phantom trade and then you place a trade to close out a position that is in error then later they remove the erroneous trade then all you are left with is the trade that you did place. You can close that one too but again you may be...

    So you say - is that IB's official position as well? I've had erroneous positions appear in my MBTrading account that were later corrected. If I had traded out of them I would have ended up with the opposite position when they finally removed the original erroneous entry. If a position...

    Schindler Trading up 17% YTD

    You're such an idiot. If you bought shares of a gold sector mutual fund, would you be disappointed if it didnt have the same returns as the Nasdaq index? That's basically what you are saying in this thread - you are comparing apples to oranges. People don't invest in Schindler to mimic...

    Schindler Trading up 17% YTD

    If you are going to disagree with others at least get your facts straight. (1) He is NOT the only one with money on the line. I have money in his fund and I suspect that others on ET do as well. (2) He makes some amt money each month regardless of whether or not he hits a new highwater...

    Schindler Trading up 17% YTD

    You never cease to amaze me with your stupid comments. Do you even understand the concept of uncorrelated returns? BTW, how did QQQQ's do in 2002? The Schindler fund was up 96%.

    How it started is irrelevent, you are blaming the victim. If I pull over on the highway because I ran out of gas and then someone who falls asleep at the wheel slams into my car parked on the shoulder whose fault is it - mine because I let myself run out of gas? The OP made a simple...

    If I hit the transmit button twice I expect two sets of orders to be created - that is not what happened. If that had happened then the OP could have dealt with it by canceling orders and closing out positions he did not mean to enter (at his own expense). The problem wasnt the...

    Show me the documentation that says when you double click an order submission that a phantom order will be created that you are unaware of and cannot do anything about. Apparently in your world its ok if random undocumented non-deterministic results occur from an extra mouse click. Spin...

    I'm not ignoring the double-click event however as I said before it isnt the double-click mistake that resulted in this mess - its how TWS/IB handled the double-click: It did not acknowledge the double-click so the user had no way of knowing It did not display any indication of the double...

    Wow, what an IB-apologist version of events. Convenient how you ignore the fact that TWS did not give any feedback about the double set of orders and that due to software bugs, mismanaged the orders eventually lead to orphan order being revived some 7 hours later by the purely random chance...
