Some serious tanking going on here. Tomorrow will be an interesting day, remember we also have the fed. Some serious jail time needed for these bastards!

There are also many rooms in Paltak (audio and text). Go under business/finance group list. You will see 3 or 4 free rooms there. Stuart

Def, Any update on the multicurrency futures accounts? Stuart

All the deductions listed are legitimate, I make them all myself. I also claim 10% of my insurance, utilities etc. I have decided not to make a home office deduction, I think it complicates issues when it comes time to sell the house. There are several advantages of MTM. One of the greatest...

Placed an order on Globex at about the time connection lost. Dont know if order is filled or not. Called trade desk and IB and they dont know either. I dont like being in this position and not knowing status of order. Def, is the problem internal to IB or is it Globex? What is being done to...

I just spent 7 weeks in Australia and New Zealand in December and January. Never turned on a computer to look at the market Stuart

Hi, I am currently trading the ES and NQ from the US. However, I am a New Zealand citizen (also US resident, not citizen) and am considering moving back to NZ. I am interesting in hearing from others that trade from Oz or NZ. What markets do you trade? The time difference would make the...

I started a thread in this forum on taxes for futures traders. It seemed to run dry, so I will post here. Regarding stocks mark to market is fairly straight forward. Also for stock traders there is no obligation to pay self employment tax (social security tax)...

I must agree about the new icons. Maybe an option for the old vs. new icons could be made available. Also, would like to see separate P&L numbers. One for closed positions, the other for open positions. Stuart

Again, same problems on Friday. :mad: Anyone else experience this with the ES quotes. IB sent out an alert and I spoke to them several times on the phone. Def, can you please provide the group an update on this. Also, when we can expect a solution in place. Stuart

This is good as they recognize the problem. =========== To GLOBEX users ----------- Some customer may experience slowness in their ES or NQ futures prices. We are currently working on this issue. ===========

Quotes for ES continue to lag. Spoke to IB support today. They also saw the problem on their system. Lets hope it is solved soon

Is anyone else having problems with IB regarding lagging quotes for ES mini contracts. I am comparing quotes with those from CME marketsound and qcharts. Was bad yesterday after FOMC announcement. Happening again today.

I agree also, quotes were way behind :mad: Quotes were on the nail for ES using ravenquote (based on qfeed). This is a little unusual as qcharts (and qfeed) normally are not so reliable in fast markets. I found that trades were ok if I used the quotes from ravenquote and entered...

I have recently started trading the emini contracts. Prior to that, I have been daytrading stocks. I am trying to find more information about the tax implications of day trading futures. The tax implications for trading stocks appear fairly clear. Including the handling of mark-to-market...

Nice improvements in IB workstation. I would like to see the P&L separated into open P&L and closed P&L Also would like to see hot keys for setting up stop limit orders and the ability to change limit prices using hotkeys without having to open order ticket.

I have been using an export to Quicken for tracking stock trades. IB has just added that capability for stocks. I have also written a short macro in Excel to parse the data from an IB report into Quicken format (QIF file). I have recently started trading the ES, unfortunately Quicken does...

The problem with ravenquote happened earlier this year also. There was an extended period of time in which there was no contact with the principals in the company, Mitch and Matt. It is truly unfortunate as I like the program and the flexibility offered in it. I think the best thing for this...
