what is your feeling about IB

I asked you several times. How would I know what "no more than anyone else who does what I do gets" means? You could just have said you get nothing in the first place. But instead you let me ask you in four posts, and then called me "dense" for not guessing correctly at what your answer meant.

I don't have "tactics." I posted the entire correspondence and got a lot of attacks, and false statements that I felt needed correcting. I wanted to make public exactly what happened between IB and me. Only that!

I will continue to do that elsewhere. I think other customers should have a chance to know, and to draw their own conclusions. If they decide I'm a "moron" as you did, and that IB is spotless, that's okay. I think people should have the facts. And you can follow me around calling me names and requesting that I not be allowed to say what happened to me, and that you don't want to read what I've written, if you like. :D

Quote from j_medved:

damn you are dense.

Do you get any privilege or money when you connect to IB's API? NO. That's the point. You can keep trying to twist it into something its not, but that will still remain the answer. How many different ways can I say it to get it through your head? WE DO NOT GET ANYTHING FROM IB!!!! NOTHING. NO MONEY. NO PRIVILAGE. When everyone else gets nothing, then "No more than anyone else" means nothing as well.

Here is a new concept - someone may think that you may be wrong in your continued assault on IB without even liking IB. They may just dislike YOUR tactics.

I don't find "allegate" in the dictionary, but I know what you mean. I wouldn't allege Jerry received payment if he simply said he received no money or services or privileges; that he received nothing, as he has now said. It took me four different QUERIES, not allegations, but QUERIES, to get an answer. It's tiresome!

Your providing permission doesn't give me the freedom to make false allegations because I simply don't do that.

1) The original reply was by def, not me. I just didn't feel that anything needed to be added to it
Quote from def: "money does NOT exchange hands between IB and quote tracker. Jerry has access to the API just the same as anyone else. he also writes codes for numerous other brokers. it just so happens he has a great program that interacts well with our service. if you look at the posts jerry has made, it is just plain silly to question his integrity."

2) IB API is open to everyone. That means YOU, ME, and EVERY other client of IB. Actually, you don't even need to be a client. its open to EVERYONE. It is common knowledge. Therefore, I did not feel that I had to write a 5 page legal disclaimer to state the obvious, or should I say obvious to everyone but you.
 
Thanks for the information. I've been on IB for only a month and programming to their API wasn't a subject I would have explored, neither being a programmer nor interested in programming to anything, including their API.

Quote from bundlemaker:



Exactly. IB is professional in every way. In the last month I've had to call twice for tech help. In both instances the phone was answered in 4 rings and my q's were handled quickly by caring people.

I originally hesitated going with IB 3 years ago because of the occaisional trash bandied about here on elite. I went ahead anyway, and now would not consider moving, even with the incentive of lower commissions.

I agree with you bro...!!

"Don't get discouraged by those Jerrys and Cals, somebody has to be a victim if IB turns to be another Enron."

I am getting tired about all the bashing on this thread
