already sorry I've opened a new IB account ...

Quote from HeSaidSheSaid:

I don't know how their TWS performs, but so far, their IB Webtrader is slow. on several occassions, it downloads halfway, then it just hangs there. I have to hit refresh to restart the process all over again.

TWS performs very well.

Hey, I can understand nightmares happen. I just thought the books were good and am glad I can tell you so.

Are you out of that activity for now, or working on new stuff with a new group?

I am out of that stuff. For the past five years I have been writing trading systems for others. Now I just so my own trading. However, I work with traders on developing our own systems for trading our own money.
 
That's because your computer is from the 80's

WOW. What a nutjob. Explains a lot. I never once had a problem understanding TWS. I just attributed it to not reading the damn instructions.

Now it looks like he's a damn liar

Sigh. As I said, I've managed to divine the answer to my question (and, insofar as I can tell, it's not covered in the "instructions") so there's really nothing more to be said on that front.

I remain, however, fascinated by the virulence with which IB's advocates promote their case. To that end, I'm back.

Athlonmank8, I may well be a nutjob, but would you kindly explain how I am a "damn liar"?

Most curious to hear your answer. Thanks.

So are you going to share the answer or be petulant?

LOL! I was wondering when OddTrader would show up. No IB thread is complete without a cameo from OddTrader.

Again, though, my question remains (unanswered): For what, precisely, have I been "busted"?

oldtrader <> oddtrader.
 
IB also charges $1.5 for those limit orders that are not filled or cancelled at the end of the day. $1.5 is nothing, but they didn't provide any service on the orders, yet they shouldn't charge others for it.
