Well...dang...I certainly didn't mean it to be insulting :( The comment was on the order of "tough love". :D Trading is a tuff and unforgiving biz. I just know this from experience. Damn near every time I didn't follow my discipline, I got smacked down. Do that enough and you lose too...

well, if you don't learn STRICT discipline... soon enuf you'll end up in one of the many "goodbye ET" threads: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=48046

LOL. Crazy bunch of mofo's...

I'm skeptical. This is about abuses in the OTCBB market. It's always been a cesspool of manipulation and corruption. Nothing new here...

Good Story. Was Buzzy Schwartz still trading then? Sounds like something he would pull off (just from reading his book, don't know the guy).

A Trend?: It is generally UP from 1934 or so. Seems like it could be a trend to me. Is it because of GNP growth? Population growth? Labor efficiency increases (technology advancement)? Beats me. Will it continue in our trading lifetimes? Probably. But is it tradable on smaller...

Cramer will probably be by later. He posts under the alias stock777 :p

Hey, this is what we have been sayin' for years!

IB has a basket feature that might work. Also, IB will cancel new orders automatically if you run out of buying power. I don't think it automatically cancels open orders tho. Could be wrong. Take some time to dig thru the IB TWS manual. TWS does a lot of stuff. You can also easily cancel...

Go to the Configure then Misc tabs in the TWS. You will see the Auto Logoff Time selection.

If you can program, it is fairly simple with Visual Basic: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/cgi-bin/apiBetaControl.pl?ib_entity=

This guy said he was able to start a new career with this idea. Wonder if it is still working? Regards, C 40yotrader Registered: Oct 2002 Posts: 73 10-29-02 04:12 PM Re: 40yr --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Wonder if any ET traders are using this system or a similar one and are now sweating bullets because it's been "disclosed"? Not to worry, seems like this idea has been shown many times here before. I think 40yotrader is using something like this and has been for quite a while. But I think...

Sounds good to me. I'm always interested in seeing how successful traders work their trades. Show the setups, entries and exits and reasoning behind the trades, and it should be a very interesting thread. :cool: TIA C

This wasn't very much, but it still sux. It happened in the afternoon and I had a limit order in all day, so they can't say it was pre/post market nonsense. When I make a screwed up trade - wrong limit, sell instead of buy, accidently click, or some other f*up - I expect to eat the loss (or...

IB sent an email this time. They used to call. :( January 12, 2005 Trade Bust Notification Dear IB Trader, There is a trade in your account that, upon review, has been deemed erroneous and will be removed from the account. The trade is as follows: S DHB 15.29 * A...

Unfortunately this system sounds like the typical "buy the dips on a large watchlist and sell fast...". There are many many such systems over at Wealth Lab. They work for a while, then those small profits get swamped by a few very large losers. Data and testing problems like survivor bias...

Should have been: "Don's Market Jive for 2005" or - "Don - Tradin' Live in 2005" or - "Join the 2005 Opening Hive!" Good luck to all! C

CT and all the rest are nothing more than gnats buzzing around IB IMHO. The others are "hobby" brokers. IB is, hands down, the leader in low cost retail brokerage. They are the biggest and the best. Nothing else comes close to their markets, their costs, their technology, their innovation...
