Help! How much did I just lose!?

You really need to read our charges carefully.

Cancel/Modify fees only apply for stocks that orders that do NOT use SMART routing AND are directly routed to a specific exchange via an API. Since you placed the orders manually there would be no charge.
 
good God, people. don't tease the boy.

dude, you only lost 10cents per change, which is what they charge for changes. so let's say you made 100 changes, then you lost $10. big woop. that's what a normal place would charge for one trade!
 
ok, i didn't read interactive brokers dude's response before i posted that last one. listen to him, not me. either way, no big woop....

Your order wasn't huge, it was super giganto. Do the exchange's computers even handle that large of a number?

wait.....is that "0.12/Cancel or modify order" per share or per action?

I thought it was per share!

Hehehe, that is too funny..

Let's see, 2500 shares, about 25 changes:

2500 x 25 x .012 = $750.00 dollars

ok, this is my single allowance of a newb-panic-retarded-forum-post for 2007.

It wont happen again.

Until 2008.

Hey, at least you don't take yourself too seriously. Good attribute for a trader... particularly one swinging huge size.

Cut it out Im dying of laughter and my dog is lookin at me funny hahhahaha..............
 
I hate to tell you this---but I asked the same question becuz the same thing happened to me and an agent from IB even said it was ok like he's saying now --but then they charged me $10 US
per "pretend/practice" cancel order. Anyhow I would go and tell your wife not to buy anything for awhile and get on your hands and knees and grovel like a dog.
