Looks like my e-mails are getting misfiltered somehow. Either way IB is working for me.

I just found it humourous that not only did I raise the bid 3c and kept it there until the offer was 1 cent above and still no takers. I guess the only other person trading was the MM and if it is automated like you say then it is no surprise that the bid was ignored. It was my first time using...

Can't complain too much about IB (except for their occassional loss of data feed which means you can't place a trade, at least let me place a market order), no problems using TWS and good commissions (I am making them rich with my over trading :) ) and generally pleasant people manning the...

Will absolutely not fill you if you try and bid rather than just hit the ask when trying to buy/cover. Basically had to wait until the ask came down to my bid, nice to see the spread diminish from 6c to 0c though :D . I guess there really is no one else out there trading these things (I was...

Perhaps the recent Bond sell off is why sentiment is changing(if it infact is), second half recovery not as certain? http://news.ft.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=FT.com/StoryFT/FullStory&c=StoryFT&cid=1057562262003&p=1012571727088

Good call, best day I have ever had.

But I thought that the way it worked was that Hedge Funds borrowed money in Japan (sold bonds?) and bought Bonds in the US. With rates rising in Japan, the dollar weakening, and Bonds prices falling here this trade is getting squeezed.

May the trend continue :)

Check out Steve Gibson's site to check your firewall is working, also interesting if you want to really go a little bit deeper in to the subject of security but within the lay man's reach.

Thanks guys. Also, I don't know if this is verbotten or not but here is a link to another board that has a nice discussion of the subject and some useful links http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/subject.gsp?subjectid=53221 Please edit moderator if posting a link to another discussion...

I guess what I really mean is if you only went by what the tape is spitting out, price and volume, rather than injecting subjective notions of valuation and other fundamentals are there signs of weakness that veteran tape watchers are starting to see?

Ebay, Amzn, askJ, Nflx etc all tell me we are going higher. How much higher, who knows at this point? It will be interesting to see what these names do on earnings release. If they fail to continue to rally on good earnings then that might be signal (Yhoo reports tomorrow don't they, didn't...

I have used ZA for a couple of years without problems. Am currently trading using Esignal and IB's TWS and no problems with ZA. Have used Cyber trader's pro platform in the past also no problems (running Win XP). Also use RT anti virus from E trust (CA sub I think). I like both because they stay...

Just heard them talking about the Bond carry trade on CNBC and about it possibly breaking down forcing massive sales of Bonds. Anyone know how low Bonds have to go before this is a real threat to the Bond market?

Isn't knowing(with relative certainty) what the "contemporary trend" of the time frame you are interested in a substantial part of one's edge?

I think I will give his seminar a miss (doubt it would give me what i am looking for anyway which is a way to accelerate the learning process, sometimes there is just no substitute for time and hand on experience). Getting overloaded with info as it is from all these books. Will keep plugging...

First, let me start with the caveat that I am not really qualified to make any observations at this point because up until very recently I have been a consistent loser in the financial markets. Having said that it seems to me that there are allot of systems that work, the question is can you...

Hey Nitro, I should have known I would get a fast reply from you. I have found your posting to be particularly insightful and as you are checking the boards at this hour on a saturday night I can see that your work ethic is well developed. Yes I had read the controversy and the posts by...
