great idea, give everyone free leverage when the market has very little upside left and changing president. what could go wrong? Just go short the VXX 85% of your account

IB commissions are so low that I can't even calculate a percentage, my calculator goes into scientific notation mode.

I like IB's Java trading platform, I like their financial solvency, I even like their corporate culture (?)

Will try DB long @ 11.24 if it gets there today. 11.65 completed all downside targets I see - and there's a lot of them over the last 7 years Some already calling this the DB crash but I can't even get filled on this order yet.
