Just wondering if anyone can recommend a mobile device which is good for IB. I guess anything with a big screen would be good for web trader but can TWS be installed on any device? cheers

Any revised forecasts of the share price? Does anyone feel the price rise after announcement was a but under whelming?

WOW Blackrock bought a huge chunk, 34419544 shares. Watch it stat to trend back up to 60+ ...............

2 ASX releases in 2 days! Can anyone with some tech. analysis skills give their thoughts on the WA offshore announcement?

Very timely thread for me. I've had an IB account for a while, but just activated the paper trading account today. I opened a few positions, it only filled the hypothetical order when I was just about at the bid/ask.

Oh thanks, I did a search and nothing came up, the I posted. Soon after I re-searched and all the results came up... Trading Options to Win, S. A. Johnston is on my shortlist. Can anone attest to the level of complexity? As I said I've got just a few months of trading, Ive read an options...

Hi OP. I'm in the same boat as you, a total newb in options. I've got a large buy and hold portfolio, and also shorter term stuff and have recently turned my attention to buying calls. After 5 weeks, 20 trades I'm ahead on all, but chalk that up to beginers luck. I'm also going to an...
