    :confused: I don't see it as even close... Edit: I think you may be confusing overnight limits with intra-day. This is a good summary: http://chicagomercantileexchange.org/trading/files/EquityIndexPriceLimitGuide.pdf

    Video of a trader blow up Today, NSFW lol

    This could be a huge opportunity for newer traders to learn. 1. I have no idea "how" he trades, but his name "highprobabilitytrader" ignites fear in me. Everyone would love to be this. To have 75+% of the trades be winners; to take no heat ... etc. You are trading not to lose. You trade so...

    Graduate Trader Advice

    If it were me; I would much prefer this to someone walking in talking about "this-or-that" period EMA crossover. I agree with the other poster that you can review market emotion and money management. As for the how-to stuff; They already chose you for a reason. Good Luck

    Actually, You may be better off trying to forget everything you think you know, and let them teach you what you need to know. (I am assuming they know...)

    US Health Insurnace Costs

    Who is going to pay my doctor(s) if it is free? You should see my Doc.; he likes nice clothes and nicer cars. No foot in this debate: I think the system is broken, but I also don't claim to know how to fix it. One thing I do know is: TANSTAAFL There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch...

    MB, IMO the phenomenon you are describing is just how the "software" reports/shows the trades. If the BID is taken out, and the order then begins to "chew" on the next level down it; will print as though the order is outside the bid/ask spread. This happens because the ask remained where...

    This has been happening since Friday really. Can't stand it when the market continually makes intra-period highs and lows (kinda of like a cheerleaders cone). Right or wrong; it destroys my risk parameters, and thus my trades. :)

    $52k gone from my IB account. What next, sue IB?

    Glad to see. Thank You and Thank IB and IBj for their open participation of this debate. They (and us) can only grow and improve from this. It was just unfortunate that IB and Zap had to experience some pain. I think it would be of great benefit if IB (IBj) would post here, and even...

    $52k gone from my IB account. What next, sue IB?

    Agreed, The hire a lawyer stuff is over the top as of now. Although IB was too slow out of the gate... IBj, has been doing an OK job addressing the issue. Zap seems to be holding on well (better than I would have, if over half of my funds essentially disappeared). I think we went off topic...

    $52k gone from my IB account. What next, sue IB?

    IBj has PMed me with an explanation, and asserted that "my" structure of these events might be incorrect. So far I do not understand how his explanation shows this... I am willing to be show the LIGHT! :) So, I will recant my position until I am hopefully shown why I (and Zap for that...

    $52k gone from my IB account. What next, sue IB?

    The way I SEE it is you probably still haven't read the full LOG of events. The way I SEE it is that you have some fetish to defend IB in any circumstance. I SEE an OLD TRADER that can't admit when he is wrong. I SEE a person who thinks they have to add to something to this debate; when...

    $52k gone from my IB account. What next, sue IB?

    I use multiple pages on my TWS, a phantom order could be executed and I wouldn't know until I checked all open positions and all open/executed orders. Just because ZZAP was at his terminal does not mean he was in "control" of the erroneous order. So far so good on IB's part in dealing...

    $52k gone from my IB account. What next, sue IB?

    This is not correct. TWS disconnects and self reconnects without a new challenge to the security device (at least mine does). A note: If you are going to put your two cents into this issue; please read the thread, and READ the LOG. It is simple.
