Anyone else having IB connectivity issues?

What I'm seeing is: ~95.00 : measured move from 8/2 L to 8/3 H and 8/6 L to ... ~95.50: top TL (hourly) last 3 days, and MM on today's swings (pre-, post-inventory) ~97.00: even 10 handles off 8/2 L ~98.00(ambitious): macro 62 fib corresponding to the 50% we're at now The 50% seems to...

Should be good for 95.50 then 97.00.

I noticed trans not hitting new recent highs on the daily too ... a "non-confirmation" of this move, IMO. Still, I think the market could squeeze higher another day or 2 before any real reversal. Top trendline on the daily from 6/19 H to 7/5 H might be the sell point. This is only day 3 since...

Interesting. I took the TDA announcement as a positive ... they specifically said QT wasn't going anywhere, just that there would be no new updates to it. That to me is good news.

Relentless trend day. Should see 92.50 at least. Probably no signif. p/b til after the noon hour. Watching EUR for 1.2420

2nd day gap ... again. Monday's 2nd day gap (down) went 25pts before reversing, fwiw.

IHS alert ...

Thanks for your comments on the subject.

Nice call.

You quoted me from a terrible call I made yesterday- thanks. :( :D Almost immediately after my post the market played out my "I could be wrong, we'll see" scenario in the worst way ... lol. I always find it tricky being caught between equally compelling gaps from different days. To your...

Agreed. There's an old gap to be filled @ 28.75. And 15.00-ish is 50% on the daily. Trend day is likely, after 2 small rangers last Thurs-Fri. 2nd consec. gap down, 20+, is the opposing force. But I think rallies will be sold to 25.00, minimum. Could be totally wrong; we'll see.

VIX @ 14-ish has been support for the year (13.66). I'd wait 'til at least below 15 again before opening a long VIX position. Right now August VIX futures have a channel low around 16.80 (moving lower by the hour). I'd like to see it touch that line and look for it to take off from there.

I have no idea. But IBKR for one has a dismal looking chart, which has me a bit concerned. Actually none of the retail brokerages look all that great. If anyone has any specific info on IBKR which might be enlightening, please feel free to share.

I stand corrected; it was pretty decent volume today. I guess it just "felt like" low volume, with so many small bars for the better part of the day.

Low volume, market taking the opportunity to grind it down for a normal pullback, IMO. This could be the low for awhile, provided earnings aren't too bad and Europe doesn't implode.

Step down day. Thanks for the link ... a good refresher.

IB makes it easy to have 2 accounts. Otherwise, in one account just apply 2 contracts (or share blocks) to your desired net position.

10 pt move in 3 days ... should pull back soon, maybe here @ 88-89. :)

Gap fill near certain.
