  4. Does the BOX will have cancel fee as the other option markets? Or if they will do a better challenge to them and drop it?

  5. Geee still no answer from IB. That's what it is. I don't think BOX will give up the cancel fee initially. After all it is IB who started it. IB is after BOX. So no reason to expect that.

    Buy anyway BOX is a serious blow on all other vulnerable obsolete incompetent exchanges such as CBOE. ISE may be able to stay above the water. All others will be gone in a year or so.

    NOMORE,

    Judging by your last post, it seems to me that the BOX may not be everything you dreamed it would be -- a money tree waiting to be picked, I hate to say I told you so, but I knew it would not take long for you to find something wrong with the almighty BOX. I posted this less than two weeks ago, and figured I'd add it to this post for laughs.

    Thanks for the laugh
    Nice to hear that you haven't changed at all in the new year, NOMORE. I really enjoy you're bashing of the CBOE, it provides me with a much needed laugh. The fact that you constantly lose money trading options, and then go on to blame others speaks volumes of the theories that you employ. It ought to be really interesting when you start bashing the BOX Do you really think that when you're trading on the BOX that the money is going to start flowing in ? And another question, who do you think is going to be making markets on the BOX -- that's right, the guys from the CBOE. So enjoy your dream, because reality is about to set in.

    Best of luck,

    Vega

    What type of BOX access is IB planning to give its customers? When? BOX is talking
    about starting tomorrow.

    Any word on PIP orders, commissions, and
    CANCEL FEES ?
    Thanks
