    ES not available now @ IB?

    They don't have CS during off hours (US) but there is overseas desk. Don't know if it is open yet. When is 8am Hong Kong time in relation to EDT? Edit: just saw on the webpage they have a "condensed" desk on Sunday from 1am to 7pm, whatever that means: Condensed Services**** 1:00 –...

    Transaction Tax idea still not dead

    Since the next Pres. seems a foregone conclusion, don't let Congress become a filibuster-proof majority so that whatever O wants they will sign, and vice versa. The real upcoming danger is a system where we don't have any checks and balances, and it looks like this might be a possibility. No one...

    is IB's action legal

    I don't believe that IP restrictions negate the daily auto-logoff feature built into TWS. I think that you can utilize a batch-type 3rd party feature tho to get around it, provided you are not using the security device.

    is IB's action legal

    Yes. Why do you think that a firm with lawyers on retainer would not know the legality of their actions, especially with the public, than an unknown trader without any legal training. (I pressume as much, because if you did have legal training, you would not be asking such a question. You...

    AMEX Has Been Acquired

    There was a time not too long ago (late 80s) where it was better to trade at the Amex than NYSE. They had a thriving options market, especially in the XMI's. Many (and I mean many) independents traded that floor and made their nut. I will miss it when it goes.

    AMEX Has Been Acquired

    In this case yes it is very important. The value of the Amex property far exceeds the purchase price, even in this market. This deal pays for itself and then some.

    NBC major cuts coming. Which CNBC employees should go? Who should stay?

    I think he has been reading everyone's praises of him lately from this board because even he is becoming annoying of late.

    Communism wins after all.

    We as a nation spent more than 20 years to heal our wounds inflicted by the great social experiment of the 1960's. Most of you don't remember or have no idea what was created by this great "experiement": apathy. The population as a whole relied on the gov't to solve all our ills: it's the gov'ts...

    Broker Dealers and Prop Trading Accounts...

    They can give you whatever leverage they want. What leverage they get from their clearing/execution firm is pretty much standard.
