jesus! that big?? what the...

i think the last post i saw jack was under the handle 'demonet'

yes, IB's commissions are fine with me. A more pressing concern is that IB was down for several hours during the big blackout.

cuz of the sunspots or what?

thanks buddy :)

yes, it's still a nice trade and thanks, hopefully tomorrow will be a nice slide, stoploss free. in retrospect, i should have at least covered part at that crazy ask before it completely evaporated back to normal levels. for all the time i sit around after hours waiting for something like that...

thanks for your commisseration surf, in a small way, that really helps. i think it sucks too :) serves me right for holding out on the possibility of armageddon like dr evil :mad: or something. i completely got what i deserved.

i am a successful mechanical trader, please use stops. oops! my dog typed that, sorry ppl

the hypothetical system writer should keep it under wraps! (and trade himself for a while, even if just with 5k and a one lot).
