It is an issue when I don't want to have to kill a tree in order to file my tax return. In this day and age, doesn't submitting a telephone book sized return seem borderline insane? It does to me.

As a side note, I wouldn't have a problem with the listing of each trade line by line for the IRS, but there is a maximum number of trades you can do this with before you cannot e-file the return. Maybe if the IRS fixed their e-filing system for unlimited trades, they would start getting more...

I don't keep track of my trades everyday. I wait until the end of the year and run a script on my monthly statements that matches everything up (custom made software). I then check manually that my profit totals are in line with what the software is reporting based on the money I had at the...

Did you initiate the busting process or did Nasdaq independently bust it?

The security token seems pretty failsafe to me in terms of preventing the wrong people from wiring money out of your account somewhere. In order to break into your account, they would have to gain physical possession of the security token and know your password. I am not sure I agree with your...

ClAssy.

I'll be waiting for your perfect software and for your reaction to irate customers like yourself that you have to provide support to.

I can't stand Cramer because he takes credit on his MadMoney performance numbers for the afterhours bump that he himself creates on his recommendations. I.e., he recommends BBI on Monday evening which closed at approximately 4.43. If you are lucky you might have been able to get a fill at 4.6...

If your brokerage charges you full commission on each partial fill, maybe it is time to go somewhere else.

Awhile ago IB had an interest rate calculation problem. It affected all accounts and it took them awhile to settle everyone's accounts properly (I am guesstimating it took about 3 or 4 days). It sounds like this time everyone here has a legitimate complaint and I'm sure IB will fix the...

You don't have to upgrade.

Now that all the ECNs have been snapped up, no reason they can't just raise data prices whenever they want. And notice how ARCA and INET almost simultaneously started charging for data. What a coincidence! Good thing that the competition between the two is enough to drive prices down! Who...

I believe before if you had multiple accounts at IB, the $30 in commissions to negate the $10 data fee was calculated by totalling up all commissions in all accounts. IB recently made it so all accounts are segregated in terms of the commission total. So let's say you have 3 accounts and you...

Agreed.

IB does have this for account protection from unauthorized transfers or the changing of account information (I think they call it their STP program). However, it is not used when you actually log into your trading account.

Again, I don't think you are right: http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/security/soa/Mac_OS_X_hacked_under_30_minutes/0,130061744,139241748,00.htm

I think you are incorrect in terms of wireless hacking: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33458 Furthermore, you cannot claim that mac "wireless" data cannot be snooped.

There is no difference in terms of wireless hacking. In terms of viruses and trojan horses, you may be right because not many people target mac users.

Did you request to close your account?
