Cscott, I urge you to read through the forum even using the search function in order to quell your fears that this is an IB supported and biased forum. Your one experience here is not indicative of all experiences nor a common experience. In addition, the fact that IB reps do come here speaks volumes about the dedication to their customers. Think about it. This is a public forum which is read around the world. Their site (IB's) isn't. IB reps admit faults, finds solutions, discuss future plans, discuss internal workings, etc. Pretty much full disclosure on their part. Customers who uses IB's forum have other avenues within the company to address their concerns. Namely by trouble ticket, phone or email. The IB forum is for other customers to share tricks and tips, not to seek help from IB reps since there are other ways to do that that are more viable. One last thing, there are a lot of IB customers here because IB is one of if not the largest broker here with over 2 billion is customer assets. Last time I checked in futures magazine, IB was in the top 30 brokers worldwide. The only other brokerage on this site which was larger than IB was REFCO. But we know what happened to them.
It's fitting to quote what jimrockford wrote in a previous thread started by cscott. ********************************************************************************************* cscott This is quite alright. Feel free to save your "valuable" time. It's extremely unlikely that your "contribution" will be missed. BTW, full marks to you for tenacity.
To me, a review of a software program or b/d or course or anything for that matter should consist of a number of reviews. It is a shame there are so few reviews on so much of the products on this website.
LOL cscott, So the evidence of your posts suggest : 1) that you are working for another broker trying to knock IB (all but one and poorly with it) or just very stupid; 2) that you are homophobic and not particularly funny; 3) that you, the troll, label myself and others for lack of anything witty (even half-witty) to say or a useful argument which would be ok if you could manage to bite (lol); and 4) the evidence of the posters here suggest that ET users are mostly for IB. You've never posted an answer to another's question, posted in a thread you didn't start, or with that first funny exception posted except to attack IB. And, once again, you've lost. So perhaps now, after crawling back into your hole to lick your wounds, you will go and try to stir it up somewhere else little troll?
Here is cscott's first ever posting on EliteTrader. His posting is exactly the kind of utterly uninformed and meaningless drivel, which I would expect from a shill who knows next to nothing about trading, but is trying to establish an EliteTrader cover identity as a retail customer, to help him damage IB's reputation: All of cscott's subsequent EliteTrader postings sought to damage IB's reputation, in threads started by cscott, which named Interactive Brokers in the thread titles.
