Interactive Brokers - IB TWS will do it. Most other brokers would have similar system.

Average real trader use only small portion of enormous amount of features in TWS. Most normal people never would know what is in this bloated program. Maybe the current outage is not related to the TWS buggy program. However, it is obvious that so much garbage built into a program do not...

IB does not have this scaling out order type. You need to enter 4 separate orders linked with OCA groups. Let say you are long 2 contacts based on your breakout system. You enter order A to sell one contract at target 1 price and stop order B at your stop price. You assign OCA number, let...

They have computers and sophisticated systems so we follow up our orders manually? It is stupid! I am sorry, cannot find better words.

Yes, why do not you pick-up the phone and place your order and write down on piece of paper your order. Then IB will charge $200 commission as it used to be? Is that what you are doing? Is IB going backwards? It’s impossible, even if that what they would like to do.

IB just introduced new feature. It will cancel GTC order automatically after ninety days without sending any notice. Some traders use GTC stop order to reduce market risk. Now IB management will cancel this order automatically placing their customers at risk. Good order execution is the most...

Dennis Gartman is the best trader. He is no B.S. straightforward guy with more than thirty years experience. The good news is that there is a new fund that follows his letter. See http://www.hapetfs.com/gartman_cf.asp It is trading in Toronto exchange and will be converted to ETF later. :)

Vista is stable and has no problems on new computers. It was not compatible with old hardware. It does NOT make any sense to go back in technology. Sooner than later new software and hardware would not be compatible with XP. Furthermore, Vista is also more secure than XP.

Good presentation. I am not a TOS customers and in fact, this is the first time I see your video. It would be a valuable addition to ET to balance mostly useless posts.

Thank you Jay and Scott for the response. The work around you suggested solved the problem. Oh well.. probably will continue paying mega-bucks for eSignal. Its like addiction, once you get used to it, difficult to quit. LOL

I have just tried the new 10.3 version of eSignal. It is amazing how these guys can go from bad to worst. In old version you could easy sort either by change, name or whatever you want by clicking on any field. I use summary windows for stocks and futures lists. New version does not load...

They are paying interest on some currencies and balances. Its not much, but much better than others. In AUD its more than 5%??? Bad luck with USD. LOL See on their web site: http://www.interactivebrokers.ca/en/accounts/fees/interest.php?ib_entity=ca BM = Benchmark Rate USD 10,000 0%...

Here are my two cents. Trading platform has to fit your needs and your level of experience. No professional trader would use E-Trade. IB is definitely the best choice for experienced trader. However, they will not hold your hand and will not spend much time on the phone with you...

Nothing really changed in last few days. Rules of the game changed. Governments decided to buy banks and other stocks by stealing your money. There are many other manipulations they can do with trillions of dollars. Do you know of any other business or game where rules are changing as you go...

After changing many times the margins, leverage, short selling and many other rules, there is a new rule in the works. Same people that created the largest problem in history changing the rules once again to fit their needs. Why the markets were down last week and up more than 10% today...

I looked at different backup options recently. The best alternative that worked for me is Amazon services. This is great deal. You pay for only what you use. It is 15c per Gb storage. Very reliable server. To interface with Amazon servers you need program such as Jungle Disk, see...

Sounds good to me. Will see you all there. Cheers :)

Agree with previous message. People that only complain in this and other forums are definitely losers that would always blame somebody else for their mistakes. There is no place for these in a professional firm like IB. Thank you IB for maintaining efficient and professional trading...

Count on me too. Would be my first time, but hopefully not last. Like my beer cold in worm environment. LOL :)

Not reporting wrong PIN is important security feature. It will prevent bad guy to figure out your PIN by trial and error. Thanks IB for taking leadership in improving security. I actually bought stocks of the company that makes these devices, Secure Computing Corp. symbol SCUR
