Well, working that double long worked today... Just a thought, nothing to base it on really, but maybe we meander generally up from here until august 24, when the retail home sales come out. Not predicting of course, just a thought.

Here's the latest half...

Yeah, thx for catching that. It has been a long week of trading the us plus the asian markets and I am a little tired, so try not to get your panties too bunched. I think you could catch my meaning, couldn't you? Or do you just need to show the world how smart you are. I am surely impressed!

2 points. It isn't the yeild that is being sought; the spread simply gives the trade the freedom to work. The money does not need to come from the us fed. Given the options currently available, I would not look for a short in the market anytime soon; rather, I think a buyer of dips will work...

It's simple. You are missing the ability to borrow money at 1/2 % (or less). This ability makes this trade a no-brainer.

Absolutely agreed. You and I have been here awhile, and it always astounds me how the news media is so manic-depressive in the states. Their collective memory seems less than a day most times.

Well, fwiw I only daytrade, but across a few markets.... Without a new low today, my read is that we are in for a bounce, at the very least. Right now though the hourlies are a bit ambiguous so I am pretty much out for this session unless something extraordinary presents. Again, best of luck to you!

Ok, you are stupid. Are you happy now? Seriously, though, w/o a time frame I cannot offer anything of value, but certainly a DDR will not allow these shares to appreciate. Remember we are here to make money, not be correct. Just a thought, but best of luck to you!

What? Blood level in your THC stream??

Yes, but even with that last lower low, the trend change is not in place until there is a failure to achieve a higher high. So, the S&P could still see 1170 or so and fail there. Not a prediction, but an acknowledgement. The OP is so obviously green as a trader. The locomotive eventually stops...

Is there some sort of macro workaround that might deal with the popup confirmation? Even moving an order.... sucks greatly. I love the clicking anywhere above to get the order done... I ran TT here next to Booktrader and aside from the chunked data, they were very close in speed. And of...

That's nuts; I would like to see IB repeal this. In the meantime, thanks for the warning, I'll stay at 905.4 till they come to their senses...

I should correct myself, sorry. I wrote double, but I meant half. TF trades about 1/2 the daily volume of ER just before ER2 moved. But, ER2 had a large volume increase after 2002, so as I recall TF is more or less like the early 2000's ER2. Hope that makes sense.

The data you seek is available publically. Having said that, I would say the volume is at least double. There are many more iceberg type orders, iow the available size is not as apparent as it was. Lots of bots, absolutely. This affords some advantages at times, yesterday for instance...

I have to chuckle, sorry. Your moniker and the subject matter are simply too funny! :D I mean, buck up there bucky, you are TRADEAVENGER!! :D

I agree 100%. From IB's website: 1981 Efforts are made to code and test a system that identifies potential delta neutral trade pairs. Our greatest challenge: how to electronically read the prices of options as they are posted From 2000: On average, more than six percent of the daily global...

I see why "failed" is in your moniker. If this is as OP says, he was screwed royally and will win arb. Frankly, I am an IB fanboy and this worries me. Time to think.

I can help here a bit; I have traded a long time and have properties in bad areas (bad = no internet). Best solution: go to the nearest place that has fast DSL, and rent a small office. This always works, and is what I do now exclusively. Next best: Sometimes there is a dedicated wireless...
