It's an office joke around here.....we love & hate that IB icon.

Trade bust: (Think) IB icon

TWS probs: (Think) IB icon

We school the specialist on the floor: (Think) IB icon

etc, etc, etc,

it's actually a trader signaling a one lot. at the time IB started offering services to retai we came out with comissions that were the same as professionals could obtain. the one lot signifies a leveling of the playing field.

Man don't spoil it. I was grooving on it - totally. I mean, how cool is that? Your broker's icon showing a trader flipping the birdie!!!

PS. You might have to consider turning the artificial-dude's wrist slightly clockwise 'cause the index finger signaling the 1-lot really looks more like the raised middle finger in an exchange of pleasantries
