    IB and over night trades on ES?

    Yes, there's not too much we can do about that until we have a 24 hour system - which is being worked on. Your only other choice is to switch servers to the Hong Kong server which shuts down at 3pm EST for about 20 minutes. For closing orders you can also place them by phone

    IB and over night trades on ES?

    Stop-limit orders are native to Globex, and you can use them at anytime. If you want to use stop orders overnight - these are simulated by IB, and you will need to configure your TWS in order for them to work. You can do this, via Configure>>Order>>Stop Trigger Method

    Will an Oxford Graduate Degree in Pure Math get you interviews for salaried trading?

    Yes - it should help you get an interview, but that's it. Then you're just at the same level as every other person going for an interview. Try one of the i-banks graduate trainee programs - they usually do not put you straight on the trading desk, but will let you experience multiple...

    Getting stop losses native to Globex?

    You should find that when your original order is filled, the sell limit profit exit and the sell stop-limit should both turn "Green" indicating that both orders are at the exchange. Stop orders will not go to Globex as they are not supported by Globex- thus we hold them on our servers. NB...

    Jimmy Rogers BLASTS Greenspan.

    Yes, there is definitely real entreprenuership - and a tremendous amount of money being made - you would be surprised just how "capitalist" it really is. China is undergoing great change - it is so clear that you if you visited the place every months you would visibly notice the change...

    I see pennant

    3 weeks on a daily chart - so around 20 bars on other charts. But its just a case of what name you give it. A longer term pennant is usually called a symmetrical triangle. I'd call this a reverse H&S or a triple bottom - either way, a break above 960 on significant volume should lead to a...

    How to do this in IB TWS?

    Ambush is correct. You need an OCA order. You can also set-up this trade in advance of being long the stock at 30. For example you can send in the limit order to buy at 30 and "if done" then send in the OCA order. For this order you should first set-up the limit order, and right click on...

    I see pennant

    A pennant should form over a time period of less than 3 weeks. The pattern you have highlighted could be a reverse head and shoulders. However, volume is not confirming this pattern at the moment.
