Blowup waiting to happen.

The "remember my decision" checkbox that shows now is a step in the right direction, and I appreciate IB listening to the other thread. But I still don't understand why we must cancel all open orders if we want to close our current position. I want my closeout hotkey to work as it did...

I see I missed this now closed thread about this issue. Pete - IB said they're going to change the popup so that it remembers your decision. But this does not fix the problem. The 2 choices are "Cancel open orders and close position" or "Don't close position and leave orders alone". But...

Anybody else's Esignal lagging hugely this morning? My esig data's at least 15 seconds behind order entry data.

What?

Quit running your prices up. It's easy to get. You just have to ask the right person.

I'll usually quit for the day when the risk manager and one of the larger traders drag me kicking and screaming out of the office and lock the door. Though sometimes they'll forget to lock my account so I can log back in from home. That's what really makes em mad.

The first Dell I ever bought was at a Sam's Club back in '92. It didn't hurt em back then.

What do you watch for? Aren't any differences between AAPL's movement and NQ's getting arbed instantly?

I don't understand why so many people get so defensive about daytrading. He didn't say that 100% fail; so you posting up about all your great years of success does not disprove anything. The important thing is to realize that if you choose to daytrade, you're really stacking the odds...

I haven't seen any software that's especially good for trading stocks with IB, especially if you like to trade with hotkeys. ZLT, Button, Ninja all seem to be oriented more toward futures markets. I think there's a great need for somebody to offer a Hydra/Hammer/Lightspeed type frontend for IB.

I've been having this same behavior about once a day lately. TWS "pinks out" for 5 seconds or so, but I can see that the quotes are still updating.

I usually close positions with the "Close Position" hotkey. Recently, when I have open orders for the symbol I want to close, I am getting this "Cancel open orders" box that tells me to either cancel open orders and closeout or keep open orders and not closeout the position. What is this...

For what products? I wasn't aware of that.

Looks like IBD has already completely disowned BIDZ. There's no mention of it in Wednesday's paper. Despite currently being #2 in the IBD 100, it wasn't a "Leader down in volume" in the Big Picture, and no word of it in Nasdaq Most Active. Like the uncle in prison... don't mention it...

I couldn't short it at IB.

I'm pretty sure Esignal's server software that sends all the Free Seminar! spam is multithreaded and running on a state of the art supercomputer. They never seem to have trouble sending those emails out.

You're going to have a hard time finding a good retail platform for keyboard trading from a level 2. IB is the closest I've seen, but there is still alot missing. If you do find something, let me know.

I heard a rumor Citi shares will soon be available 2 for 1 in the bargain bin at all Sears Essential stores.

No matter what he says, Rogers always comes off as a guy who's in bad need of an ass kicking.
