Looking to share office space with 2-3 knowledgable and profitable traders. I have been succesfuuly trading/investing for over 25 years. Looking to share space and ideas with others who can help to create a positive and enjoyable trading dynamic. May consider mentoring one person but must be...

Toothpaste can not be put back in a tube, but I want to say that I have exchanged email correspondence with Def, it appears that I was probably equally at fault for this mixup. I have several accounts at IB, the account closure letter did not reference an account number, I thought they had...

Thanks Def: You really are the best!! If all at IB were like you and as genuinely concerned, it would be a huge boost for the company and the operation. I will log in and see if I can fund it, and will send you an email as well. Once again many thanks for stepping in. Hpex

But back to the subject at hand. IB handled the account cancellation as they documented they would. So you might not like their approach, but there's nothing really to complain about. From Biog's post above: By the way, on the IB website under account minimums: "An existing...

Good question, why not open another account. I ask myself the same question I guess basically this was the straw that broke the camels back, after 3 or 4 years of dealing with Ib, my attitude was to suck it up when there were problems, and just get on with business and keep my mouth shut. I...

Thanks Def I appreciate your attitude but this is not the prevailing attitude when one calls IB customer service. In my phone call to customer service after receiving the email, I was informed the account has been closed but if I wanted to call funds and banking maybe they could do something...

Def relpied to my post that was also posted in the "I love IB thread" I did not want to reply in that thread for obvious reasons. Def said: def Interactive Brokers Registered: Dec 1999 Posts: 2507 12-04-03 05:53 AM hpex, while I can understand your frustration, i hope you...

Sometimes I get so pissed off at IB, I am tempted to just trade elsewhere, today is one of those times. First a little background, I have been an IB customer since they first started offering their product on the internet, my original account number was one of the first accounts, apparently...

When at the Trader Expo in Vegas I heard the pitch from Fidelity and their "active trader service " division. I liked what I heard and liked what they have to offer, but I have not seen them reviewed here. Does anyone have any experience with them, I am actually thinikng about opening a trial...

I have been on a trial with Briefing.com's "Live in Play", it is not a bad service but not enough real news, mostly technical observations and upgrade/downgrade stuff. Any other similar services out there that provide more significant news /edited to filter out all the junk, and provide it in...

I would appreciate some input on what you guys consider to be the best online news source. I need scrolling news headlines realtime as well as search by symbol capability. I presently use Mytracks Dow Jones News, it misses some news stories and repeats old news without a proper indication...

I agree Spyderman, I always believed one is better to trade alone and trade ones own ideas, however trading in a solitary environment has always been a problem for me. My idea of a trading group is not so much for exchange of ideas but rather exchange of friendship and comradery during the...

I am interested in either joining or starting a trading group in Los Angeles. If there are any out there already, please let me know. I have 10 years experience, consistently profitable, know what I am doing but would rather be trading with a few other people. As an alternative, I am also...

I am considering associating with a firm in L.A. Andover has several offices in the L.A. area( Pasadena, Encino, WLA) all within a resonable distance to me, any comments on the best office (enviornment, traders, professional atmosphere, managment, etc) would be appreciated. Training is not a...

Thanks BK, I appreciate the info....

I just recevied the following emial from IB: Account number xxxxxx has been converted to a Universal Account. Please sign in to the Trader Workstation using the username and password for your old account. Other than a new account number which will begin with a "U" (please see the upper left...

I am a long time equity trader, every now and then I think I may be missing somthing by sticking with what works for me, so I would appreciate some feedback from you guys. I have traded equities for over 15 years, I make money consistantly and basicly trade the same way I have for years with...

Well, as a 50 yr old trader who has been at this for about 15 years, I have to tell you, your posts are refreshing, you are going about it the right way, I just want to say 2 things that may help. Paper trading and live trading will be very different, be prepared for it, and dont give up if...

No excuse for this, tried to phone to get out of positons and get a fast busy.
