Thanks for the information. I've been on IB for only a month and programming to their API wasn't a subject I would have explored, neither being a programmer nor interested in programming to anything, including their API.

I don't find "allegate" in the dictionary, but I know what you mean. I wouldn't allege Jerry received payment if he simply said he received no money or services or privileges; that he received nothing, as he has now said. It took me four different QUERIES, not allegations, but QUERIES, to get an...

I asked you several times. How would I know what "no more than anyone else who does what I do gets" means? You could just have said you get nothing in the first place. But instead you let me ask you in four posts, and then called me "dense" for not guessing correctly at what your answer meant...

You were talking ABOUT me on a public forum. If you don't want me to respond, bad-mouth me in private, then. lol You say you don't get any more privilege or money than anyone else who writes to IB's API. So, what is that privilege or money? There is SOMETHING, isn't there? You do have a...

Fact: You have a business relationship with IB and you should disclose that in your posts in their defense. Fact: You've posted five posts in their defense, so repetition doesn't seem to disturb you when YOU engage in it. Fact: My emails with IB were brief: one or two short sentences each...

Come, now, Jerry! In reality, you have a business relationship with IB and you have objected to my report of how badly I have been treated there, from the first. Don't you think you should be disclosing that you have ties to IB, when you post in their defense? IGNORE works fine. And you don't...

DEF: You are indeed, lying. Since you haven't read the audit trail, naturally you personally can't know anything at all about it, so you should at least SHUT UP. But when you say "we" you mean the firm and the firm, having a copy of that audit trail absolutely can tell which order would...

Whether I have one dollar or one hundred million dollars, I'm entitled to courteous and honest service at a brokerage firm. It's shallow of you to reduce the issue to how much money I might have or might not have. In several decades of trading, I've tried numerous brokerage firms. I kept some...

You've said you were done with this discussion several times but I don't care if you keep changing your mind. I know you for what you are, by now. :) You personally shouldn't be "providing assistance" if it's something you know nothing about, have no power to repair and are as in this case...

This is in response to OldTrader and DEF: 1. The employee works in the Banking Dept of IB and has to answer this question often. While you assume I was belligerant, the accusations you both make to me about that are false. I was polite and I asked why I couldn't have my WIRED FUNDS back and...

CALTrader: Thanks. that's the one I'm trying to pursue right now. They are new to the Mac platform and not quite ready for me, but I hope they'll work out. they seem like good people. I appreciate your recommendation and that you know the Vice Chairman.

FYI: The National Futures Association oversees these brokerages houses and if there are complaints you can go to them at 800-621-3570. NFA's compliance department is what you'd want. They take the phone complaint and they follow up. They also sometimes want written material to back up the...

No, of course it's not about $42. IAnd that's not the figure, though DEF made a point of trying to breach that confidentiality. I had promised to keep his name and exact position confidential and I did that. While my financial info should be confidential, def takes liberties with things like...

DEF: I would like to avoid repetition and stick to new and useful dialog. When you said in your last post to me in this thread that you wouldn’t address this further, you weren’t lying, of course. You meant it then but you changed your mind. Not really a broken word, exactly, most would...

Thanks for proving my honesty. Hoping a trade isn't busted isn't the same as not accepting it when it is busted. I expected it to be busted and I would have lived with that. I was out to get to the truth of how a limit buy order can be filled below limit. And I would have accepted the TRUTH...

DEF: You continue to not tell the truth. You don't seem to understand that is not the way out of this. You didn't say you weren't the decision maker, but I didn't think you were and what difference would it have made if you were? I posted the entire correspondence, and it wasn't "out of...

Thanks! I don't know how to find that one: the ratings thread with the votes. That's the one I was looking for, which I completed at the time I was just OPENING the account. I don't know how to find things here. Even searching my ID didn't turn that up. There was only one review from me in that...

Lobster: You're absolutely correct. I wouldn't have quit this firm over the technical glitch. I would have taken the small hit. I also wouldn't have quit the firm if they'd said they don't bust trades, even if they're IB's fault. I also wouldn't have quit the firm if they'd refused the refund...

I got very good responses from their tech support and their financial dept early-on. It was the CS department that was rude, unresponsive and also refused to let me talk to a supv. I have several brokers for stocks and options and each has available managerial staff to take calls. I never...
