how many times have you been charged it? closing it can be a bad choice as it can just be a whipsaw?

many brokers dont charge for that, why should tos charge for that?

l think it is unfair to have a $15 assignment fee, how often are TOS clients assigned?

like other former IB users, I suggest open an account with TOS, IB account holders get $1.20 / leg. Try there paper account, it is in a different league for option traders

because IB charge > $1.5 a leg commission for SPX, ~ half that for SPY. any idea why SPYJ are like that?

SPYJ are the 1000 share contracts, why are there volume so low in comparison to standard SPY? The bid ask spread is big, was going to use it as a substitute to trading SPX options

I can't agree more, On starting my TOS account, I noticed big savings on commissions using my TOS account over IB using this feature. eg SPX options (143.8 146.7) I usually have conditional orders on, and if I was using IB, I'd be buying back at 146.7. But on TOS, using the conditional order I...

l believe IB charges $25 for non active accounts. and this amount is reduced by the commissions generated that month, but does it aggregate the commissions generated if have multiple accounts? eg if one of two accounts from same owner, is inactive will the inactive fee apply to that account?

can we get back on topic please? as l said particularly interested in the macbook pro retina, for its ultra high resolution. would it offer more desktop real estate than a 30" monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1600? pc laptops, particularly Dell and Lenovo also of interest. please comment

I have read some posts here, but with the progress of technology, need some up to date details Which laptop would you recommend if require high resolution display (minimum 1920 x 1080) and ability to connect to 2 or more monitors. I am considering Lenovo thinkpads, Dell Precision for eg...

Historically, which has been the higher returning choice? investing in an ETF / index or buying a property to rent? is there a website that details this? can anyone recommend an ETF with a relatively high dividend? or even a blue chip reliable stock? The reason an ETF is preferred is that...

both are excellent, is there anything else

I got all the greeks showing on my option trader already, What I want to know is, is there a method of finding out, preferably with a software (which does it all for you with an input and 'click'), the delta, bid and ask price, approx or exact, of the option if the underlying moves by x. eg...

just21, IB are one of my brokers, never knew they had this, so how do I access this feature?

price of an option with variation in the price of underlying as the main variant? Which brokers would have this?

what a major disappointment, tried Build 9230t Beta and it doesn't work. Customer service staff also confirmed this. I read the release notes for 923 , http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=tws&ib_entity=llc#notes1 and it isn't available. Can you explain? So when is OCA for...

with well over a month AND requested for years by own clients, how could ib developers say that and not get it done ? dishonest liars, too tricky for them? couldnt be assed? either way not good, ib want only the option gamblers, or complete newbies who only trade single legs, where OCA feature...

From what I've heard IB still have not got this instigated. Progress Update please. Any broker who classes themselves a serious options broker must have this quintessential money management feature.

looking forward to it Some of my IB user friends who use yourselves for option trading have also suffered this mishap because OCA for combos don't exist and are looking elsewhere; two of which have Portolio accounts with yourselves. l will inform them to hold steady for another month since...

thats fantastic news! I so appreciate that IB, do listen to their clients and x clients. A critical characteristic of any broker. This one serious shortcoming in money management for option traders cannot be compensated by aesthetics, usability or "cheap" commissions. Because of this...
