been like that for months

Today I wanted to initiate a withdrawal from my account. Logged into Account management from IB home page and on the withdrawal page there were 2 references for funds coming from IB India. Well account is US based and log in is NYC so thought maybe something was amok. Went to TWS on sepearate...

Why not just give them a call a find out? The number is in the ad and would only take less than a minute of your time.

Use another data feed and charting package (like ESignal) for your IB trades. If you are a serious daytrader, the couple of xtra dollars a day is minimal.

What I am saying is that Ninja is a broker neutral front end trading system that can be used with many brokers' trading platform for ease of trading and some automation. You can have multiple accounts with multiple brokerages all in one platform. You chose which broker to direct your specific...

more like 2-5k. You can always borrow from Mom and Dad. Don't be afraid to ask.

Get a lawyer. Any plea made in court has a certain time limit in which you could withdraw the plea before it becomes permanent. Depending on the state, you have anywhere from 20 days to 45. Don't delay. Monday go to a lawyer and check your options.

What he said. You can use NinjaTrader with your broker AND TWS. (only a couple more dollars a month for multiple broker access) It is perfect for futures and fx trading and it is far superior a tool to use with TWS than anything else, and since you are familiar with it, learning curve is...

37k new fee on little more than 1MM profit is 3.7% less profit. That's nothing to sneeze at.

Dude, this has been like 2 yrs on now that IB requires this logon procedure.

Where do you keep seeing mentions?

"I wore gloves so my fingerprints would not be found on the envelope." Listening to this guy, he sounds like a tin hat is his preference of hat wear. This guy is a fruit loop.

minimum size on retail is 1000. but read info above about fxcm. It seems they are just buying the assets - don't know if they intend to use the the hotspot platform or one of their own. On institutional level, min is 500k w/100k balance to open.

Wow! That really sucks! I didn't see that. Scratch what I said then about Hotspot unless you have 100k to go on the institutional level. Like Reaver said, Run! Don't walk as far away from FXCM as you can. Any broker that does not charge a commish is manipulating prices, no matter what he says.

Dukas I think you are in the ball park on this. A few guys here tried to set something up with them and eveything presented did not add up, i.e. bank guarantee trading for funds safety that no one could get, aggregate platform of feeds from Currenex, hotspotfx, their own, and something else...

Wouldn't that also be the case if you worked at a real firm or fund? Why would this be any different?

Won't fly. It would just move it off-shore. Plus, how can they justify such low margins when the futures equivalent is leveraged at rates higher than 1.5:1? Looks like they are angling (haggling?) for a 20:1 level similar to most futures contracts.

NYTimes op-ed piece about 1 week ago. Those in power in DC now have similar sympathies with those expressed in this rag. And since we all know Congress can't think straight when it comes to money, be afraid. Be very afraid!
