That's interesting... Have you tried routing the orders directly to the exchange in question? If you specify the way you want an order to be routed, you don't loose unbundled commissions, do you? One thing that confuses me about your situation is I believe options (unlike equities) cannot be...

Since Putin came to power, Russia has been getting ready mass producing these and preserving these. Geven according to the article the Chinese are buying 2 newest biggest and meanest nuclear reactors, China is getting ready too. On a serious note, eliminating US dollar from inter-government...

The big thing here is If (and it is still "if") the latter part of the statement happens, that will be the largest relaxation of Chinese currncy control since when Hong_Kong residents were allowed to open accounts in Yuan earlier this year. The fact that Russia is not among largest trade...

From the interview Ron Paul says: "I just do not believe that this [TSA and additional airport security] has made any of us any safer. That is what I am convinced of."

I understand Belgium has zero capital gains tax. For people who appear to the taxman as an investor, zero rate can't be matched. "Quiet"... Brussels certainly feels like a smaller, "provincial" city compared to London, New-York or Paris despite being the "capital of Europe". Maybe part of the...

Looks like this thread was moved into "Politics and Religion" so that it no longer appears on the front page.

First, they "realise" P&L every night. So, if the trade stays overnight the "unrealised" P&L is based on last day's closing price... Edit: If this is something new in 910.9, I can't comment: haven't used this version yet.

I think Ron Paul was lucky to loose 2008 Republican presidential nomination to McCain. After 8 Bush years Obama was a formidable opponenet. However, Look how actively Ron Paul is building his profile now. Judging by the strength of his populism he may become the next President. "According...

For quick reference: China Expands Pilot Areas for RMB Settlement of Cross-Border Trade Transactions The use of the renminbi for trade and non-trade denomination and settlement

That's what Features Poll on IB Web-site is for.

Fund is just a different business model. If you take a loan, all the upside is yours, but so is downside.

I don't use DDE with TWS. I have used it with a charting platform that was reported to have DDE issues on 64-bit Windows 7. Have you tried DDE when logged on as administrator?

That's what I thought... Legal services to set up a hedge fund properly will cost in the range of $30k. With $100k capital this cost is absolutely prohibitive. You can do the legel work yourslef... but for any serious investor that may come later this will be a massive glowing red flag. IB...

I think DDE works in Windows 7. Are you using a 64-bit version? That's where DDE has been reported to cause problems...

It's not like IB has a choice. Till the lawsuit, in which Trading Technologies claims "rapid-entry" DOM is covered by their patent, is resolved, IB has to keep the techology in question (static DOM) out of TWS. It's just a damage-mitigation exercise. In the event TT wins, IB's liability will be...

Haha! This will teach me to click "masked" links.

Given the number of people unhappy with this change, this sounds like more money for independent developers of clickable DOM.

IB hasn't "forced" an upgrade for a couple of years now. Whenever an automatic upgrade is offered on computer restart you can always choose not to upgrade. In fact, if this bothers you you can always remove "Check for TWS Updates" from Startup folder in the Start menu. I don't understand...
