I have finally turned profitable this month, so I thought I would upgrade one of my computers. I am currently using a pentium 200 with 64mb ram...
Someone else could probably give you a better answer, but I interpret it as a specialist wanting to show a quote he doesn't want to honor. I just...
I totally agree with the orders changing order automaticaly. It is a real pain - when an order is transmitted and then moves, it is no longer...
Did everyone on that server have problems, or was it just you? Can you change servers? I ask because I have been having a few minor problems...
I have been experiencing the exact same problems. It can be very frustrating. Also, when the position finally updates, it kills any order...
ddefina, Thanks for the reply. I'm afraid I'm being a little dense. You had $8,821 deposited to your account when you ss the stock, and there...
Sorry if this has been covered, but I couldn't find an answer. Can somenone please explain margin on a short sale? I have an account with IB,...

My TWS qoutes are way off this morning. I'm waiting for a call back from "help" (they're trying to figure out what's going on). Anyone else...
I was up about 1 1/2 points, but was only trading 100 share lots, so I only made $113 after commissions. Would have been a good day if I had some...
ddefina, I have tried to reverse a long position in one trade using a limit order, and TWS wouldn't let me do it. You have to enter one order...
I don't get this. I had some orders go through just fine today, and most weren't too bad. But, some were quite slow and one wouldn't go green...
I started using 10 share lots for the exact reasons you state. I am now trading 100 share lots and am ready to increase to 200 next week (and...
Good one!
