No no no. Trading with IB, not ET. With ET I guess you mean E*Trade? IB is only $1 for 10, 20, 50, up to 100 shares for Naz. I remember once trading with E*Trade years ago for $19.95 each way. Talk about a rip off! Ugh...
Yes, it was you Eldredge I was referring to. Suprised to see you find this post. So how did August treat you? I remember you did pretty well in July...
FYI: From IB site: "Odd lot orders supported on NYSE The NYSE now supports odd lot equity orders for marketable listed stocks. Non-marketable odd lot orders are not accepted at NYSE, but can be routed through IB's Smart Order Routing." Asterix
August was a little rough for me. I have been trading QQQ against DELL, and it beat me up in August. It did give me the push I needed to add a new rule to my method. I knew I needed this rule, I just didn't know exactly what the rule should be. I learn most of my lessons the hard way. Anyway, thanks for asking.
I think September will be a better month for everyone than August was. I also learn most of my lessons the hard way. Doesn't everyone?
