I would love it if this could also be added to the mobile app, would make trading easier by not having to access multiple apps.
nice, thx. I never saw this option lol.
Did you see the link at the top of every page? "Trade Link Information" :)
any updates on when the "link" should be removed? thx :)
lol, thought it was supposed to be gone by now....?
Yep, so much for getting rid of it. Guess it wil be there forever.
the link is still showing.
No thanks. Dont trust my info being secured and safe.
You need a ST button than.. imo. You like that one? Do they screen for short interest in the pay platform?
Thanks!

Happy to hear that.
Good news! Those Premium members that don't intend to use the trade link will have the option to disable it likely sometime next week.
In the meantime, please refrain from posting ad-blocker links or instructions. Ads are a large part of our business model and how we remain a viable website.
Thanks, all, for the constructive feedback we've received thus far.
My understanding is that embedded videos go pooof along with the dreaded ad.
use "adblock plus" and all the ads goooooo poooof. just right click select block ad. pricelesssssssssssss
You read my mind!
I thought NO ADS was one of the benefits of being a member?!
I do not like the idea of creating a link between a public forum and a brokerage account. It makes me uneasy.
Even though it is stated that this is very secure, the fact is that it is another avenue for a thief to try to use... and it will be tried....and tried... and so on... not a good feeling.
In the meantime, it would be great to have the T-square moved to the "More Tools" drop-down... or someplace else out of sight.

Unneeded, unwanted, undesirable IMO.
Let the 30 days be over so it can be removed permanently!
Thanks for trying
well not being able to turn it off
stinks
not what I paid for........
I can see it happening for the freebies
and for say 3 days
but 30 days?
that's overkill for paying members that don't want or need it
put a spot in our preferences to turn it off
by turning it off we prove we know it exists
so mission accomplished.....
otherwise it's just like so much Obamacare shoved down our throats
and if you don't have an Etrade acct
then it's advertising....as a premium paying customer
I'm not supposed to have to look at ads and the dang thing is annoying as all get out
That's all fine for someone that wants to try it or use it but, I don't use E*TRADE and don't plan to use it and will only use something "I" have researched and decided to try or use.
In fact, the more something is pushed on me, the more I will refuse it.
[Erwin] works for iHub and his comments (IMO) are not valid and it’s unprofessional to even say his comments are in any way valid on this issue.
The tab is nothing more than advertising gimmick which is iHubs prerogative and some people might bite and even like it but, I don’t trust anyone with my trading account information other than the people that work at my brokerage.
This third party trading account access has the potential for trouble (down the road), written all over it.
And, even if I did use E*TRADE and it was (supposedly) very secure (according to iHub) I would NEVER access my trading account through some other account/website, let alone, give someone else that capability.
Very Bad Idea!
Exactly. Whoever sold ihub this idea is laughing all the way to the corner check-casher.
I can express my opinion of your new button in three words:
AdBlock! AdBlock! AdBlock!
that helmet wont help that mouse any...he gets hit behind the neck! its the second mouse that gets the cheese anyways!
I still don't get why anyone would want to log in through a 3rd party. It's not difficult to log in without one. If you want to use it "no problemo", But if not why must you be forced to view it.
make one for scottrade...since half the stocks if not all from what i have been told can't buy stock from etrade that are on the chill list....when ever that ends it might be useful..thanks for tring to make ihub better though!
If I used Etrade, I would feel a little uneasy about going through a 3rd party to access my trading account.
E-trade video --->
I am sure they are working on resolving it at headquarters imo.
I understand that some will like and use it. I just don't choose to. People who will never use it should be able to get rid of it. I like to see embedded video, so I would rater have the option of removing it from the screen.
Tabbed browsing is the way to go. This is a totally useless feature to me, which is fine, as long as you can close it. I just want to close it and not see it on my screen.
I'm no programmer but feel very confident that neither our staff or the ETrade staff would sign off on an insecure connection.
Ihub does not use https. Seems like a bad guy could get thru to the secured site thru Ihub's connection. Regardless, the use of tabbed browsing really negates this idea anyway IMO.
From the iBox and first post here:
What is an API?
API stands for Application Program Interface, and it is an online industry practice that enables two or more software applications to connect to each other in a secure environment - In this case allowing Investors Hub Users access to the E*trade platform via the Ihub Website. For more information on E*trades own API program please follow this link - https://us.etrade.com/e/t/invest/apihome
And we would want a secure trading site to be connected to an unsecure Ihub site for what reason?
I'm very interested in hearing from someone who has actually tried it. Erwin is the only one that I've seen comment on it that has experienced the feature so I'm glad to hear his feedback.
If it's just a click-thru put it as that. Why all the complications?
We never see your login credentials. You enter them directly into ETrade's site.
In the past new features were often introduced with prizes, contests and free t shirts.
Lol...no. There are things I don't care for on the site, but this one I really like.

But then again, it's actually your-Job-to-like-it.
IMO, the customers input is the only unbiased one.
I actually like it. It would be very useful on the iHub app so we don't have to jump from app to app to execute trades.
