    solution to IB's customer service

    And depending upon the PREMIER support price plan, Low commissions go out the window (as a total cost) Yes Software Pkgs do this. I have one package that charges $250/month. Now divide that cost by the number of trades per month and there is your "additional" commission cost... So they...

    What problems are you having with latest TWS?

    I like the separation. QT = Quote Tracker?? If so, they are cool, I like Investor Much Better. Infinitely configurable.... QT had some limitations I didn't like, though the cost was appealing. :)

    Switching to futures from stocks, can anyone recommend a reliable broker?

    try out qst.... I actually like the look of it (arrangement) better than TOS's platform, tough we are talking about Futures and not Options... I hate TOS order entry... The switching to a diff tab to place my order is annoying. I'd like to see a pop up window for "off trade tab" order entry...

    Switching to futures from stocks, can anyone recommend a reliable broker?

    Likewise I am uncomfortable with any windows based app as they tend to lock up too often for my taste... IB's TWS has been rock solid for me in comparison. iepstein uses QST.. Another java app. Which has proven rock solid stable in my demo of the platform (leaving it running 24/7)

    solution to IB's customer service

    It's totally Logical. Look at the tech market. Cheaper the software crappier the service. SO you, as a buyer, hope and pray the software works fairly well, and that they take your comments (whether they tell you or not) and improve the software. My Main Audio DAW platform is one of the least...
