Here's where I'm at now. I use the 3 bucket system. The trading portion of my portfolio is the smallest first bucket and it's in my Roth and one of my IRAs. I skim some, but not all, profits off and buy income producing positions which I consider Bucket 2, then skim off the income into my...

It turns out there are "precautionary settings" at IB, presumably to protect the great unwashed from themselves. jeez. My broker was "helping" me and it only cost me $1000. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the help. I'll see what they have to say, if they ever bother to respond. My guess is there's some glitch somewhere.

No a maximum. "....order exceeds size limit of 500."

Uh, yeah. The bastards wouldn't touch a stock with a P/E > 30. One of my favorite quotes from the club, "It's already at a 52-week high, how much higher can it go?" This was ESRX, up 500% since then. They held LU and CSCO through the 2000-02 bear. At one meeting someone proclaimed PFE to be...

Thanks for the help, those are really good websites that I'll use in the future. I should clarify. I'm looking for the number of stocks in the Russell 2000 that made 52-week Highs today and the number that made 52-week Lows today. I want to track that on a daily basis. I'd like to have...
