    Don Miller...

    Keep in mind that Don Miller interviewed over 100 applicants to pick the 21 Jellies. He wanted a winning group so I'm certain that he didn't take any losers, whiners or quitters.

    What to think of these futures commissions ?

    Reasonable rates for no volume requirements. I wouldn't pay $1.00 RT extra for X_Trader. futuresbroker.com is just another DBA for Velocity Futures.

    Don Miller...

    Here is the full quote: " I accidentally came across a blog discussion on a Google search last night where a guy was saying that Don was a “sell-out” for doing trader education. I chuckled to myself thinking how foolish people can be. 21 guys could have gotten most of their money back...

    IB Chronic Data Feed Issue

    The ES Globex DOM posted by nonlinear5 is obviously displaying bad data. Any proper Globex DOM display has only one size at each price level. Displaying multiple sizes at the same price level is blatantly incorrect. It is very disturbing that IB software developers and testers cannot even...

    Steven Nison

    I see that it is early harvest season and that you have already fallen off of the rutabaga truck and hurt your head. While you are recuperating please look up the meaning of "shill". TYIA for your prompt attention to this important issue.

    Entry into an ES trades almost always cause a one tick loss

    How clueless are you? That has nothing at all to do with limit or market orders. For all practical purposes it is impossible for Timber Hill to collect anything on customer futures orders.

    Errors in the NYSE TRIN? (IB)

    It is not just IB that has odd loking TRIN. The TRIN data at www.quote.com jumped from 0.60 to 2.00 just before 11:00 AM EDT and has slowly drifted down to 1.75. Probably because C is the NYSE volume leader and it went from plus to minus just before 11:00 AM EDT flipping the TRIN way up.

    IB didn't execute my stop, maybe they reinstated rule "last is not last"

    You shouldn't let this go without an explanation from IB. Here is what IB says about stop orders: "Stop orders are triggered when the market trades at or through the stop price (depending upon trigger method, the default for non-NASDAQ listed stock is last price), and then a market order...

    Publicly Traded Firms and Portfolio Risk

    What type of disaster do you think could hit IB and wipe out their $4.64 billion in capital and start using the $9.04 billion in customer cash?
