u just open an account with td ameritrade. no need to fund it. you will still get the stock feed. that is the way i did it. use td feed for my charts with ib's platform.

so what do u do then? to avoid the wash sale rule :confused:

to avoid the washout rule you half to talk to your tax advisor about "electing mark to market". I don't know to much about it but this is what somebody told me.

when you run alot of charts in ib it bogs down. I had this exact same problem. I have decent computer too. Quad core with 2gbs of ram. I've worked around this by using quotetracker and td amertrade feed. You can also use quotetracker with ib but i think itll cost u some money then also the...

response time is when you move ur mouse and the time it takes to move on screen. from my experience with a dell 2408wfp with a pva or 1 of those panels when i was moving my mouse it felt sluggish right after i tried a hp 5ms monitor. There are good sides and bad sides to both types of...

u can use either snapshot or real streaming. i use the real streaming. looking at that youtube u posted i just use td for there stock quotes and lvl 2 and not that time and sales thing in the video.

did you uninstall the ati drivers. vista has problems running two different displays drivers from different manufacturers at the same time.

i use my quotetracker and td ameritrade for my feed. I use ib for executions. With td just open an account and u get free streaming quotes without any maintenece fees. also i found out that when u use quotetracker and ib the volume is a bit off.

i think "scaletrader" should help with this it's one of the disabled items(buttons).

I've been using unbundled on IB and trying to get rebates and most times i don't seem to get the rebates for adding liquidity. I use smart and have it routed to the "highest rebate". most times it routes to island or ise. My commissions are cheaper then when i used bundled but i think they...
