Yeah, Interactive Brokers is aimed at active traders. They charge much less on commissions per trade, but they have monthly fees for data, and inactivity fees of you don't do enough transactions each month. They also pass on exchange fees to you, so ...

Broker that offers ETFs with low commission?

Yeah, the specifics would have to be worked out so the process is as transparent as possible and everyone's happy, which might be more trouble than it's wroth. Just thinking aloud... don't mind me.

Most brokers commit to closing within 15 minutes of 5pm EST/EDT of the NYC close. If a trader isn't planning on holding over the weekend, they should be flat long before 5pm anyhow, as liquidity is much better while equities are still open in the ...

Also, this should be in the Stocks and Commodities forum, not under Broker Discussion (despite the name, this is for FX brokers only.)

Broker that offers ETFs with low commission?

How often are you trading? If you're gonna day trade, taking multiple positions and exiting by day's end, then Interactive Brokers is a good option. If you're only buying once or twice a month, or quarter... IB's fees for data and such might not be ...

Broker that offers ETFs with low commission?

That's really odd, I haven't found that to be the case since launch. I haven't had time to do a proper measurement but I shall get back on that and do some recordings next week. Also, you know it's Friday at 5pm EDT right? I wouldn't put a lot of ...

I agree here, there is a lot of marking speak going into the new system. Most brokers do this.. but luckily Pepper aren't presenting a turd (as in, something bad) as gold, they're just dressing up account features. From this page: url Smart ...

Do you mean the "Standard" account (as in, vs Razor) or 'standard' being the old Razor type? Just so I understand you better. As for Razor (old vs new) I've noticed the spreads on majors to be the same or slightly better with Edge. A few of the ...

Cool beans Ramy.. In addition, I like visualizing bid/ask and spread through a line tick chart. The one I use is a modified (mostly for ascetics) version of this: url I'm currently looking into offline chart options for MT4 to do candle stick ...

The new Edge Razor Live should be fine then.. Cheers

Ramy just mentioned this I think.. is your account Standard? Standard accounts have charts that still show the raw feed (like Razor) but the market window shows the Standard quotes.

The 1 click trading part works fine for me. The market depth part works for me 'most' of the time, and when it doesn't it usually kicks in after leaving it up for a while. They had an update a little while ago that fixed most of the issues, you can ...

The charts printing off Razor's feed for Standard accounts? Yeah, it's a bit off... Funny how long ago it was the other way around. From what I understand, this is because all accounts are now handled by one cluster of MT4 servers, instead of two ...

I know this one's a tad older, but I noticed it's nearly the same issue you were talking about with the other thread but this seems to be for a different reason so I figured I'd explain. . . Oanda's implimentation of MT4 is a 'bridge' over to their ...

No worries; hope it helped.

Pit Traders - How Do We Classify Their Trading Style?

Go to your MetaTrader folder on your computer. In the root directory for MetaTrader, you'll see a 'logs' folder. Open the text file that's named the date you executed the trade. (This will be the "journal tab" for that day.) Review the file and look ...

I guess I need some understanding...lost order?

There's an assortment of pit trading types... so I'm going to assume you mean the local independent traders ("locals".) Go back many years ago (6+) and their main intraday strategy was just to make a market for smaller orders to be filled by ...

+1 Now let's all try and follow the forum rules of 'respect thy fellow trader' and not get caught up in such talk. -- haoqfu, it's unfortunate Pepper didn't have a new web trading platform for you (given you're on Mac and don't want MT4 through ...

Yup, MT4 isn't perfect and sometimes a great deal of indicators (especially ones that have a lot of math to do on each bar) hang a bit as it loads up a few thousand bars at once on a chart.. Sounds like he's good to go now though.
