Mike Regarding your comments of IB, would you advise me which version of TWS is the result of the recent overhaul? I have been using tws 872 and want to upgrade to a newer version.

I've used TradeStation, eTrade, Scottrade and Interactive Brokers. ...... Interactive Brokers - It's a mixed bag with these guys. They have been awful. They update their software constantly and introduce new bugs every time as a result. Complaints go unaddressed for weeks and months if ever addressed at all. Support tickets get closed after a period of inactivity, even when the ball is in their court! You have to keep pinging your ticket just to keep it alive. However, feature-wise they are one of the best games in town. They offer everything I need. An AmiBroker exploration can be written to output the format of an IB basket order such that 1 click import and you're done. Alternatively, the IB plugin from AmiBroker can be used to place the trades directly. Their web portal is satisfactory. They support GainsKeeper and TradeLog, including Mark To Market accounting. Despite the above negatives, they recently did a complete overhaul of their software that fixed all my outstanding issues (over a year later for some). So, for the moment, they are the perfect setup for me. But, once burned, twice shy. If they can stay stable for a period of time, I'll feel better about recommending them.
