God, so sorry to hear this! This sounds so painful and awful. Glad everyone's been supportive on the forum and hope the clove oil works. Just nuts you can't get in for a visit....hope you are able to get in within the next few weeks.

Congrats on your wins! It sounds like your strategy is working great. Make I ask what your strategy is for dealing with variance and larger drawdowns when they come (or have they already)? I'm assuming you are quite leveraged if you are trading this large.

Wow, this is nuts! Did they give him back his 70K? I wasn't sure if making him whole meant not owing millions or actually giving him back 70K. If it's the latter, that dude's got some crazy karma, :).

Thanks for your reply. When I trade futures at IB if I put in a market order I receive the confirmation immediately at the current price or a tick better at times. When I do the same at Ameritrade, sometimes there is a slight delay (around 3 seconds) in confirmation and the price I receive is...

Please don't hijack a thread to speak about other threads and please stop projecting. Everything in my post is a fact and I am asking questions on a forum, which I understand is the point of the forum. I never said it was a bad fill. I said that since I can do it at Ameritrade I should be able...

This paragraph was helpful, thank you. My question as to what I may be doing wrong with IB was driven by the fact that I get excellent fills with futures trading at IB. The fills are so good, that I assumed there must be something I was missing with why my fill was not as good as Ameritrade's...

Not really misleading at all. Someone would just be required to read the post and be able to comprehend it. To the 2nd paragraph, that supermarket would be Ameritrade (back to point 1). Yes, yes, be more condescending. Certainly the best way to gain customers. I guess I thought I was on a forum...

I've done this with ToS when it loaded slow and it fixed the problem.

I just can't stand IB anymore. I opened an account like 6 weeks ago and I have a whole list of complaints. The futures commissions are great so I chose to open an account, but I have probably lost more than I saved from commissions by getting tilted by their horrible software and customer...

Hi. I tried to place a limit between the bid/ask of a pretty illiquid stock (~50000 shares traded a day) and the limit sat there and didn't get filled. I did the exact same thing (same pricer and same ticker) and it got filled immediately at Ameritrade in both my IRA and my taxable account (both...

Does anyone have any ideas why the limit order between the bid/ask spread wouldn't execute on IB, but immediately did on Ameritrade? It's a thinly traded stock (~50000 shares a day) and it was routed to "Zero". Is this because I'm not paying for a specific market subscription? Thanks.

Gold definitely going higher....not close to being overbought...yet.

Haha, yah, where do they come up with 250K, lol. What the hell, haha?

It's about time. This would take away one of the advantages of trading futures. That 3K should have at least had a CPI factor associated with it from the beginning. Ridiculous it took until now...although doubtful this will get through.

Really helpful....thanks so much!!

Yes, I submitted it at night. Why doesn't it cancel though once the market is open? I've never had an issue like this with any other broker. Also, IB was not able to get a fill at the midprice, or anywhere close, when I later did a limit, whereas Ameritrade executed immediately at the limit...

Hi. So I cancelled a market order at 9:27-9:28 today at Interactive Brokers and I received a "burnt orange" signal, which means "BURNT ORANGE indicates that a cancellation request has been accepted by the system but that currently the request is not being recognized, due to system, exchange or...

Wow, is it that the executed price is just delayed coming back to you (but is executing immediately) or is it actually filling 10 to 15 seconds later? Hopefully the former.

You have to have a long/short bias, so yes, you absolutely have to look at all time frames and have a sense of direction. 1 minute is not that small. Maybe 5 second you could get away with looking at only a few timeframes, but with 1 minute, I'd get the bigger picture, than narrow down where to...

Anything written in a book, especially by someone like John Murphy, is entirely useless. Doing the opposite would probably yield you = results. While saying that, studying price and volume action on your own and finding a unique edge will be successful. If people made money off of stupid moving...
