Rearden.... I'm with you... really I am. And I'll be voting this fall for the first time in a while... But... when one considers the gravity and the apparent impossibility of the situation... there is not much more we can do but SHRUG. Who is John Galt?

True. Potato. Potaatoe ;)

That's such a weird poll/question. The question is really about consistency. There's a lot of questions regarding risk... time in trades... stress involved in opening the trades... etc. The point of any trader is to CONSISTENTLY make a profit. If you do this, size is only a function of...

Time for everyone to take a deep breath... grab their wife... and get laid... :D PS. For the record.. I agree with RiskArb.

Cool. Thanks! For a few minutes there I thought I was seeing things. I had to logout/login. Install the new TWS version, restart, and still didn't believe it. :eek: :p

I know it's early... and I'm tired but is anyone else seeing the emini Nasdaq 100 quotes on a fluctuation of .25 instead of .50? (I'm using Interactive Brokers) I've been looking at the CME's website... the contract specifications still seem to a minimum .50 fluctuation/tick...

my only thought is how easy is it to actually get filled with market makers competing.. What's the size of the bid and offer? Cus if it's like 10k then a few hundred shares a day isn't going to net a fill... at least that's my initial thought.

Um. Um.... what' s worse, people stealing valuables, which, for the most part, have little value? <b>or</b> Police shooting and killing unarmed citizens without questioning, arrest, or trial because they THINK that they may be looting. It's a sad day, yes. But check your emotions at the door...

YEAH... it's a surprising little fact that most people just starting out with IB don't know. IB goes down for system maintenance every night around 23:30 - 24:00 until 00:30 - 00:45. I hope that this helps

"down doobie doo down down..... dowbie doobie dow. doobie do down down..." ...... "Up up up ... things can only go up from here...." :p
