I traded Bitcoin with IB now and it is working fine.

Yes, My orders adds to bid/ask, but it's not easy to get the moving direction from that.

By fake I meant the number will be 600 and next second it will be 60, even though no trade has been made. It fluctuate widely, before I can come to a conclusion. (Not all times though, but hard to know when I am right/wrong)

Is level 2 on futures are useful? I personally find there were fake numbers being put on over them.

Its Increased again 8502.80 now. Wow!!!

Can any one please help me in understanding when the ES trading hours gets closed tomorrow (holiday). And when the next session starts. I am not able to understand the below schedule from CME.

Will ask about thinkorswim. Still waiting for tasty to enable futures trading.

No, they need separate accounts and separate funds

Does any body knows of an other brokers who support trading of stock and futures in a single account Like IB does.

Thanks for the link. I feel they are bit expensive for me. I was going through some of the companies below, please let me know if you have any recommendations. http://www.tradelogsoftware.com/ http://www.traderstatus.com/trader.htm http://daytradertax.com https://www.taxact.com/...

That helps! Filing tax seems more complicated than learing to day trade. In addition to so many forms, Trade Station is classifying my SPY options as 1256 but IB says it is regular option trade and says only futures are 1256. I thought long term gain/losses needed to be atleast 1 yr.

Thank you for the clarity. I am still confused why BX is treated as such and how would I know this before I trade a new Symbol. Thank you for your help!

I went to HR Block they would charge too much if they see too many day trades, so just trying to study my self and file taxes.

My 1099B from IB has some non-covered securities, When I spoke with Turbotax they said only proceeds prior to 2011 are non-Covered and told me to call IB and correct them When I called IB they are saying they are partnerships types and they are reported correctly. Can any one please help me...

Is there any additional fees/charges for the auto liquidation?

Why? do you meant they go out of business soon?

Thank you for clarifying, It's not i am plan to hold without funds, just wanted to know what's the worst that could happen. I am assuming they do some auto liquidation and I don't see any charge for this on their website currently.

I just opened a new account with AMP and wanted to check with some one else using AMP to make sure the margin for ES position opened on night times is still $500. The reason I wanted to make sure is IB charges like 7.5K for the same and I am not sure how AMP can allow me to open for just $500...

I have traded this lot size with IB and there were no slippages for me.

Got it. I guess I may need to be settled using TWTR for now. I also use stocktwits, but even that is getting filled with useless posts. Thanks
