    IB TWS Frustration...pages deleted!

    Yes, that is the version I have. Can't remember when I upgraded, though. I think in the last few days. It must be some other difference besides upgrading, though. On another system, I have the same 818.5 version and everything there is ok so far.(different set of pages/symbols). I guess...

    IB TWS Frustration...pages deleted!

    All of the TWS pages disappeared when I restarted computer. Since I use over 20 pages of quotes, that's hell of frustrating to start from scratch again. Made no changes at all to system, yet, POOF! The only settings left that I can see are the layout settings and the individual security...

    What a range on the ES!!!

    Yup. It's either that or they have to turn off their programming. 'Probably about time, anyway.

    What a range on the ES!!!

    well, 1 problem is when some bid/ask spreads begin to be the same size as the daily range in some stocks. I know...you only look at indexes, etc, etc.

    What a range on the ES!!!

    sometimes, I start thinkin' my data feed must 've stopped. Too many traders chasing too little opportunity. Especially computer/system traders. The market has to get a lot of these people to quit/give up before a new "cycle" of decent ranges begins.

    A few reasons why I am shorting this bounce

    Your 80% return is not bad. But then again, you'd be amazed at how much LUCK is often a factor in many people's returns but they usually cite their "superior research, hard work, discipline, etc.", as if that were enough to make them world capitalist #1. Of course when they get blown out...

    A few reasons why I am shorting this bounce

    The problem is that trend following often does not work but neither does fading. The trick is to figure which one is best right now.

    Trading alone vs with small group

    My thought exactly. Less volatility with more opportunity. I think 1 guy has to be the "boss" or lead partner so you don't have a several people blaming each other.

    Trading alone vs with small group

    Actually, in a couple of your prior posts, I noticed you used the term "we" referring to your trading activities. Are you in some type of employer/ee enterprise yourself?

    Trading alone vs with small group

    I think you guys are not understanding my question/thinking on this issue. What if you pooled resources/accounts into 1 and treated the group as a business/partnership? It would then be in the benefit of everyone to *really* help each other out. Let's say 1 person is responsible market...

    A few reasons why I am shorting this bounce

    I think you're putting too much emphasis on 1 indicator which is usually a dangerous thing. Remember, the vix is ONLY a volatility indicator. *That's all*. It does not have anything to do with valuation, earnings, growth rates, interest rates, bullish/bearishness. Nothing! Saying the...

    A few reasons why I am shorting this bounce

    I like your comments/views on sector rotation. Is there some particular book title(s) that you might suggest in order to learn this stuff? Thanks!

    Trading alone vs with small group

    Just wanted to know if there are traders on here who trade in small groups of 2-10 traders? Do you trade individual accts? Share accts., other resources? Trade the same exact instruments or diversify among the whole group? Is there 1 or more person(s) who is considered the group leader that...

    Missing Data? QCharts Users

    Yes, the weird thing is they've got all the infrastructure in place to have a high quality feed, yet keep screwing things up somehow. Hard to say what the reason might be. Don't know if it's sales/revenue issue or just plain incompetence.

    Missing Data? QCharts Users

    They will never fix it. Its 600 symbols with no data. Very time consuming to fix. They're just hoping you'll quiet down or go away.
