Is tradelog integrated with other popular tax software? I found the problems to be two folds: 1. I need a software that tracks trades. Something like Money or Qucken works to an extent if your broker supports their download format. Many brokers do nowadays. As for options, Money seems to...

What happened? Was Def censored by the board or just IB don't want him to be the spokeperson? He has been pretty positive in contributing to the board. I can't see any reason(economic/personal) to censor him.

The statements are enough, just my fingers aren't.. First, I don't want to type in all the trades Second, I want the tax software to be able to handle the trades like I would manually by calculating the correct gain/loss, putting the right gross proceeds in(with or without commissions)...

Jerry, I guess I was not very organized in presenting my views. If I were to do this, the first thing to tackle would be memory management(either through releasing less likely used memory on a queue and/or compression). e.g. Assume a regular user would not display more than 20 charts...

I complained about IB's gross reporting without commission last year. It is not a big deal unless you have to change all the entries manually in Quicken and you made more than handle of trades and you daytrade. It was rather unpleasant. I spent 4 times the amount of time on IB than the other...

Hi, For the daytraders out there, what is a good software that help with tracking trades and filing taxes. I used Quicken 2001 last year but ended up spending a lot of time redoing all the trades manually since it totally screwed up intraday trades when I long and short the same stocks...

1) I see the lack of database as the key roadblock for having multday intraday chart in QT. Have you folks consider using some lightweight free databases out there for data storage? Some of the APIs are easy to use that there isn't much difference in asssssing data in memory vs on disk. (ostore...

I was told it is mandatory for professional account to trade with data subscription while non-professional account can trade without data. I can't believe it has anything to do with exchange rules. I already paid for data services through other vendors. There is no reason to pay for the same...

The nyse is the ultimate source for all the data. I was looking at Nasdaqtrader.com but they don't seem to have similiar data service. You are right about the drawback though. Waiting for another month to receive data from two months ago in a stack of CDROM doesn't sound too efficient in this...

Hi all, 1. What is a good way to collect US equity tick data either live or after hours? I am planning to collect as many symbols as possible. 2. Do you know any data source provide historic tick data? www.tickdata.com is one of them but $60 per year per symbol is not cheap. Thanks...

I used to have 7 accounts in 7 brokerages, not counting my wife's and the IRAs, Roths.. and each seemed to have its own purpose. 1) Waterhouse 2) IB 3) Cybercorp 4) None since I consider the ones nearby are ripoffs & I have high speed line 5) Don't trade futures, too complicated for my...

$10 a month is not much for an active account. It is a lot for the tiny Roth IRAs. What about people with multiple accounts? some active, some less active? You are charged the fee for each account. I guess they want to force all less active accounts, small accounts to close. $79 for level II...

I sent a $4400 bank check to them. Their cashier took it as $44. It took a while for them to "investigate" and then they simply told me to deal with that on my bank side(my bank, of course, already deduct the full $4400 from my account and had to wait for the check to clear and then resubmit to...
