We seem to agree on this point, although we must have had entirely different approaches to trading: In the very beginning, I was extremely...
I don't quite see your point. Sure $1M sounds a lot to the average guy, but once you have more money, you can risk more. It's the same in every...
I have always wondered who actually has to put up the money. If you buy $20M worth of stock, you don't actually need $20M cash in your account....
But that would be the kind of account you blow up a few times. You can trade 1 lots in a $5000 account, and if you're a decent trader you could...
vehn, thanks for the link! bundlemaker, I write my own charting applications which take their data from IB TWS. I don't know about your...

The thing about the kind of spyware I was talking about is, it does not matter how secure the connection between your computer and your broker is...
I believe IB only sends money if the receiving account is in your name. The reason why the transfer in question did not go through was...
Are you going to finish this sentence? Let me venture a guess: Your e-mail password is the same as your IB password, and you did not change...
I don't know about this, but I get the impression that if C++ gets an itch it simply scratches it, while Java needs to put a condom on its finger...
They know that if they give us a basic answer to our question, we will be able to do our taxes ourselves. All that separates us from doing that...
