    Why doesnt congress just take over all of the car companies?

    AIG's market cap is 5 Billion. That didn't stop the government from investing 150 Billion so they could party and give bonuses to all their executives.

    Interactive Brokers Closed All Open Positions

    I was liquidated in the last 10 minutes once and IB just sold enough to cover margin. The problem was I already had MOC orders to close all the positions. The liquidation caused me to reverse my positions when my MOC orders executed. It cost me a few hundred dollars getting out of the...

    How to change mindset to let profits run?

    Hi saxon22, I have to admit I have a similar trading style to you. The problem I have is when I get caught in a runner that never retraces, consolidates instead and I take a huge loss. Looking at your trades, I see you had an unrealized loss of about 12k before your 16 contracts bounced...

    IB Twsdde.xls

    Since you said the exact same sheet works perfectly on another computer, this makes me think the problem is outside of the sheet. I use Office 2003 and the Excel 2003 DDE works fine with the latest version of TWS so that is strange. Do you have an extra computer or laptop you can test with...

    Anyone getting flat bars with IB.

    AmiBroker is not a broker. It's a backtesting tool that connects to many different data sources. So they are not competitors.

    Schindler Trading

    I also enjoyed Aaron's posts when he use to be here on ET. He was very intelligent and gave us ideas on how he backtested his strategies. Unfortunately, the market went out of norms and had numbers that his mean reversion systems couldn't handle. After the Schindler Fund experienced a -52%...
