.....Now, does anyone know how to change my breakfast order from Tea to Coffee, without having to cancel the whole order and start again?

I just opened an account at IHOP. They are very good at this. Fast executions.

Quick.....Name an overall better broker.

The only reason for staying with IB is their API. I have been playing with hooking my ATS up to NinjaTrader via its API. Got all the order mgmt functionality I need. If I could just get the price feed coming back the other way, I'd move to one of the other NT futures brokers tomorrow.

Maybe they aren't overall better brokers - limited range of products - but may well be better for me.

Even after a bad day (my own fault) still so nice to be able to smile, yep life too short to worry about one bad trade when so many new opp's are out there.
Thanks guys for the good humor
Love the swirching coffee to tea option

Maybe they are happy share holders?

Kiwi do you have any?

Before 2000 I studied the various historical crashes. I got out then and I got out this time.

But I never owned any brokerage shares or worked in the industry - god forbid.


I liked these ones. Kudos.

This IB customer abuse is ongoing, here is what IB did to me back on 10/24:

"IB beat my wife, kicked my dog, stole all 4 wheels off my car, torched my house, converted my account to Zimbabwean dollars and set all my clocks to the Newfoundland Time Zone. If it wasn't for the API I'd change brokers."

Quote from BSAM:

The suckers refused to carry out my trash this morning.

Can anyone recommend a broker who will do this for me?

Quote from runtrader:

Well last night I placed an order in my ATS (Auto Trash System) I put the trash bags in the usual place when I woke up this morning thy were still there! In the same place as I had left them. I'm bloody furious! I checked the settings in TWS and Take Out Trash was activated!

Can some one please explain what happened? IB!!!!!!

Quote from BSAM:

"Trashy" internet connection. Order obviously didn't go through.

Quote from macal425:

Geez, another stupid user issue. If you would take the time to read the user documents, you'd clearly see that Recycling is on Thursday mornings and Trash pick up is on Friday morning!!! Learn to read before coming on here complaining!!! It's idiots like you that make it more difficult to get through to customer service when we have a real problem. Now, does anyone know how to change my breakfast order from Tea to Coffee, without having to cancel the whole order and start again?

They won't, as IB is one of the main sponsors.
All is fun and games until you run into real problems with IB. Sometimes I wonder if some of these people are are either IB employees or paid by IB since real traders would not cheerlead one broker in every thread (you don't see this with any other broker).

This site is monitored day and night for any IB bashers. Hey I use to trade with IB did so for many years.

They were the best, they are not the best any more. I don't get paid for free cash there margins are the worst now. The TWS interface is soooooo out dated.

And they have your account with Citi, that’s scary. I moved to TradeStation, not getting paid interest any more might as well get a free platform with good charts.

TradeStation is not perfect by any means. I do feel better that they use JP Morgan Chase for equities.

I can’t believe this has not been moved to chit chat. If it were someone starting a thread raging about Paulson it would be moved in 5 minutes.

Have you ever noticed how someone always counters any bad rateing on IB. They keep it ALWAYS at 76%-- 24% Its such a scam.

Notice that some live in a paranoid fantasy land with IB achieving almost the same status as the CIA and NSA at other sites.

I think the jabs come automatically when a firm becomes a dominant force in their industry. Just jealous competitors fueling it.

e.g. Look at how many (myself included) poke at Micro$hit.

From that perspective this whole thread is a complement for IB: they have joined the big league.

Hope they keep up the good work, sure as anything someone needed to shake the industry up and this will only result in better choices for every retail trader. (We need only to look what the fees were 10 years ago and what they are now)
