We did not break through it, and I am starting to become concerned. Some technical analysts will draw pretty pictures with lines in multiple directions, but we are hitting a resistance point. I like technical analysis, but use it in conjunction with mathematics and probability. [...] […] Last week (1,2) I talked about how the DJI should be breaking through the 12,700 barrier.

Thus to navigate this data they have a "routine". It is not a routine that say TD has to deal with because they deal with American equities for the most part. For example what is F? Is it a bond? Index? Option? Future? Stock? All of this depends on the country, currency and market. One more thing, IB’s software is meant to trade literally millions of securities throughout the world.

Considering that one trade is a 1 even if there was a 10 USD min I would use them. Now about their platform not being as friendly. Fair enough, but once you become an active trader their platform is very very powerful. IB is not for the once in a while person. IB is meant for "professional" traders. I had a heck of a time figuring things out. But now that I know what I am doing I appreciate their platform because it lets me look at things in a very fast and effective manner. You know the old rule, a mouse is great for easy to use software. But give a mouse to a data entry person and they will scream at how they want their tabs and keyboard entry back. Easy to use != professional != easy to use IB charges a min of 10 USD for real time feeds, if your trades don’t add up to 30 USD per month.
