    This happened to me this morning too, but nevertheless, two of my stops were triggered and executed :( There was nothing unusual about the fills.

    To answer your second question, you don't take the trade at that level, and if you were in it from a higher level you get out. Someone was prepared to absorb everything thrown at him during the previous 25 minutes. Just look at the sharp increase in volume with the price hardly budging. Everyone...

    Do you know which organization is dealing with the registration applicatiob prior to the anticipated "rubber-stamping" by the provinces? Is it the CSA or is one province taking the lead, with the others expected to follow? If it is a province, which one is it?

    IB's Canadian Registration..............

    So what are you doing about it? Unless we complain to our securities regulators, prvincial ministers of finance, provincial regulators and news media, the stall is likely to continue. I have complained to all of the above and urge others to do the same.

    IB's Canadian Registration..............

    Def would you please confirm that it is the Ontario Securities Commission that IB is dealing with in this regard. If not, which organization is considering the application? If it is Ontario I can complain to my elected representative. If another provincial organization is taking the lead, there...

    Been there 2 days on a trial. I won't be going back, mainly because it is primarily concerned with scalping, which is not my cup of tea. They only call entries, advise you to set a stop loss, but don't tell you how much and do not clearly call exits. During several hours of steady downtrend...

    Snake oil marketing on Elitetrader

    IMO a theoretical trading education should cost no more than $300. It would involve digesting what is available for free on the internet, the material available in a reasonably well-stocked public library and the purchase of a few carefully selected books. It would also involve the investment...

    Who is the better technician, Alan Farley or Gary B. Smith?

    "The best I could do was skim through it. It really looks and feels impressive but ...." This was my experience too. I found the book poorly organized, repetitive and full of unnecessary jargon. I had the distinct feeling that he set out to write something that was really impressive and which...

    Who is the better technician, Alan Farley or Gary B. Smith?

    Personally I thought there was more meat in what the other (How I trade Stocks for a Living) Gary Smith had to say and it will only cost you $21 at Amazon.

    I see that Pej is experiencing the MSN fuzzy picture syndrome. Try saving your pictures in .gif format rather than .jpg. This seems to give better results on my board there.

    For me it was because I was short EBAY, INTU, INFS and TRDO from previous day(s) and with the exception of EBAY the gap up was not enough to touch my stop. I then added to the good ones when the gap failed. I also went in with CPQ, USON PKS and GLBL long. I dumped half my CPQ and all my USON...

    Today was my best ever total $$$$ day in my two year short term trading career thanks largely to TRDO and INTU. I had a few better % days when my account was smaller. January so far is my best total $$$$ month ever.
