    Interactive Brokers now restricting use of practice and live account at once

    I trade Crude Oil futures using 5 minute charge. Buying the data for them outside of IB is very expensive. At least on my budget. The subaccount thing is interesting, but I have an individual account. Dunno if I can create subaccounts.

    Ino TV deceptive ripoff scam subscription problem

    I signed up for Ino TV for a 3 month trial. Never got much out of it. So, I thought, I'll just let this elapse. Little did I know hidden in their user agreement is that fact that this was a subscription! I got the nasty surprise of a $50 charge to my credit card 4 months after my ONE TIME...
