small lots with ib

  1. 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... :)

  2. Yes, it was you Eldredge I was referring to. Suprised to see you
    find this post. :cool:

    So how did August treat you? I remember you did pretty well in July...

  3. Isn't the SEC fee included in the $1 commission on a sale?

  4. That would be a new one: Buy me one twentieth of a QQQ Sep02 21 Put at the market!

    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."

    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.

  7. 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? :)
