And I take it that they are closed out on the same day they are entered, either by the protective stop or at the market close? [I am sorry Art that I did not include this question in the above question]

Are the Net Profit figures in your tabulation based on entering at the market opening, i.e., 9:30AM Eastern time?

Hello- I am new to this thread. In your tabulation of results what gave the entry signal? I see your daily table where it lists "Either-or -biases". Is it a certain numerical total of them that gives the entry signal? For purposes of your tabulation of results, did you ignore signals...

Hello- I get real time futures charts through IB/Quotrek, but where can I get historical daily spot charts for yen and euro? [I would prefer candlestick charts, and with the yen in terms of, e.g. 150 yen/$, rather than .0088$/yen?] Thank you.

Hello- Where on line can I find Salomon Brothers Monthly Index for the total returns of mortgage backed securities, GNMA, FNMA, FHLMC? The period I need is monthly for 2001 and 2002. Thank you.

I have that, my columns include limit price, trailing price , and stop price. The initial offset number of points shows up in "trailing amount" but nowhere does the stop price show up.

I was thinking of Installing TOR and Privoxy for internet anonymity and was wondering do such anonymizers slow my receipt of real time market quotes? Would they slow my sending orders to the broker? Do they have the ability to bypass them to go direct to "trusted" IP addresses? [I use IB as...

If I have a position, and then during the day, when the market is in midrange, I add a trailing sell stop 5 points under the then market, TWS shows the number 5 but there does not appear to be any numerical readout for what the trailing stop price is at any time thereafter as the market moves...

1. Commodities as a class have more favorable leverage than stocks. 2. If one considers both pit and electronic markets one has a greater opportunity to find a setup that one likes. It is reminiscent of Woody Allen's line about the advantage AC/DC people have: "It doubles your chance of a...

I trade both electronic and pit contracts. If there were a commodity that had side to side trading with equal liquidity I would of course prefer the electronic. Hopefully the exchanges are progressing toward electronic platforms. But, I find opportunities in some of the pit contracts...

This incident happened on Monday, March 13th. The last I heard was on Friday, March 17th, when they said that they would examine the audit trail that I had sent the day before. Today is Tuesday. March 21st- 8 days and counting.

IB says they are still working on it, but when I hear from them I will be sure to post the outcome here.

To put to rest any idea that I laid back for a free option I have sent to IB the audit trail that shows my belief that I had a good execution, namely that when the market started to move up against what I thought was a good short execution that I entered a BUY STOP at what would have been...

Your concern for the counterparty should be assuaged by the knowledge that IB has the telephone records that indicate that when I called them it was not after a prolonged delay, and that the price was not much different from the stop price. Also, it later started to rally and concerned that I...

It is usually explained that the delay is not in the execution itself, but in the reporting back after the actual pit execution.

Thank you for your good wishes.

Yes, in pit contracts this is not uncommon. As to how long it would/ or should take in the IB pit system, there is no history of which I am aware to let us know.

My loss was also caused by "an IB system error", i.e., by their failure to bring to my attention that they had received a rejection notice from the floor about my order. I hope that I likewise am compensated for IB's system error, and I shall post here what IB's resolution of my request is.
