    What's the best method to keep yourself from overtrading?

    When an inexpensive broker like IB collects more in one day than I do, and I'm doing all the work and risking the capital, it was time to modify the old trading plan.

    Best and Worst CNBC Commercials

    There's a fine example of an ad campaign that jumped the shark. The first 2 or 3 were cute, now they're downright obnoxious (except Yogi's). The latest one with that f*cken air impact wrench screeching sucks, as does the one with the 2 kids on the roller coaster.

    Short sale availability

    There must've been some sort of glitch in the system. I've never had problems shorting any of those before either.

    IB telles me to "Be Patient" ?

    To set the record straight, it's working now. Whether it was coincidence or if Def helped out - thanks to Def for jumping in and responding. Greatly appreciated. We've gotta get more people like him on this board from other companies as well - people who read posts and take action.

    IB telles me to "Be Patient" ?

    I just PM'd him as well, before you posted. I can't believe they'd expect their customers to wait weeks on end for the simple task of trading futures. As I stated before I've been with them for a over year and like the firm, but this has to be addressed a lot faster than waiting for some...

    Whatever happened to the 350-lb Sumo wrestler-types that so typified Rissian women, before the Glasnost era?? :D:D:D

    IB telles me to "Be Patient" ?

    it's just not worth the savings in commissions when you have ineptitude on the phone and boilerplate e-mails as support. As someone earlier said, it's like dealing with a gov't agency; take your services as rendered but if you have a complaint or problem - stick it in your ass.

    sound barrier

    They've had noise-cancelling headphone for years that do just that. In a controlled environment like an earcup it's a lot eaiser than outside where the lawnmower's sounds would echo off other objects. The acoustic logarithm would be a nightmare.

    IB telles me to "Be Patient" ?

    Well the thing is I've been with them over a year trading stocks and I like the firm, but I don't need my balls broken just trying to get permission to trade futures. I was promised it would be completed over last weekend, now it's another week.

    anyone who went long before the close has their nuts in the blender now. Tomorrow could be as ugly as today was good makes you glad to be a daytrader

    SPY 3:15pm??

    How about 9:35am for starters. Days like today give me hemmorhoids as a day trader. Best to just relax and catch up on the Sopranos season 3 DVD.
