Hey Sanjura, I know exactly what you mean.. I don't double my size but I am very anxious to do another trade and get my money back or at least some of it.. I hate ending the day in the red.. and it causes me also to take trades that don't fit into my trading plan.. Once I get control...

Toby, I know what you mean.. and I am doing exactly the same thing.. And why do I deviate from my plan??? Because I"m afraid I'm going to miss a profitable trade and thats where I get screwed.. I have 3 or 4 criteria for entering a trade.. and when I do them I have success.. whats...

PF and opm8.. yall are absolutely correct now that yall mentioned those points.. you are to use stop# in the J-trader.. any order type that has a # at the end of it .. doesn't go into the queue.. therefore they can be accepted by J-trader.. and since globex doesn't allow stop orders this is...

Destined, I am having problems with the stop orders too.. but I was told this is due to the Globex doesn't accept stop orders.. you have to use stoplimit I believe instead of stop.. Also, on the getting fills.. the software may be working fine.. what I understand about Globex is...
