maca: Thanks but I don't have a right click. I use a Mac. There's probably another way to get it though. Found it on the Menu! Thanks.

Covered yesterday's short at 9536 (+19). How are you guys seeing 5 levels at IB?

That must be Level II. Where did you find it?

You're talking about a kind of Level II, but it doesn't show layers of waiting, just the current waiting orders for the current price, so I don't know how much use it would be for longer than a few minutes. Do you or anyone know how to set IB's tradestation not to log you out?

On the matter of the reporting, if you have traded six contracts, you post the total points for every contract and if I have three trades for six, I'll just be posting the points of three trades, not six contracts. Confusing isn't it? Speaking of confusing, I don't understand about the margin...

I think what I did in the past was increase the size of trades as my net worth increased, but kept the percentage of the trade versus the portfolio value the same. So I might have been trading 5000 shares at a time in the bull market, while I'd be trading a smaller size now. This wasn't...

I'm newer to the YMs than you! With stocks I trade 2500 per lot on most of the really cheap ones, just because my broker has a commission structure that encourages that size. I just to trade those little ones in 5000 share lots. Size depends on how much money I have as well as how I might...

It's getting close to the wire here with my entry at long 9515. I'm brazening it out for a few more minutes. Many of the stocks I watch are perking up nicely. You never mentioned the size you're trading of these YMs. I'm wondering what will end up being the optimal size because the downside...

I took a little trade in there somewhere, after 2PM, and I didn't get it together to post it because I was so busy with trading: long at 9455, sold at 9466, so I picked up 11 points there, in just a couple of minutes. I still have the position long at 2515 and I'll close it if I can get a small...

No, Nitro's picking nothing. He's not in the equation. Someone posted a suggestion in this thread, a method of using the lotto results, to provide details of entry. LottoGirl is named for her method of entry.

long 9515.

Sold half my remaining XLNX at a point profit. Very nice day. I might schedule a good restaurant for this evening. :D FF: We'll see. Damir always has the final vote in his thread.. Where is he, anyway?

I think your reasons are good for wanting to know, but I think my reasons are better for not doing it. I'll still consider it if there's additional input, though. Basically I just want to keep my financial situation confidential and revealing the size of the trades when I really get into this...

Good for you. I unloaded my TXN again, profitably this morning, but too soon. I think I'll buy it right back instead of waiting for it to drop, which it isn't. Not my best strategy based on history, so maybe I won't buy it back this fast. I bought more DNDN and am debating whether to trade...
