Looks like 156k shares today. I was curious what got you into that nasty trade yesterday, I pulled time and sales, to me, it looked like the back was broken several minutes before your fill, orderflow was really raining down at you. I trade super small shares of those type of stocks, just...

Very busy today, really knocked it down.

"Hi, I made 5k today......" (Sorry, CoralReef....I just couldn't resist :p ), but you're correct those types of posts are very useful here. Everyone needs to get slapped by the market every once and again for a risk check, but hate ta see it happen...it's never fun. I think my worst check...

Possible, to be sure.........but just restore.....it'll solve those probs. (Comes in real handy when you upgrade 4-5 builds of TWS to the new stuff....and it's a mess, you can always get your old one back with ghost!) When you kill an application with task manager, it can do some squirrely...

Do a system restore, or restore from a ghost image of your PC that you've hopefully made. Seems to be the fastest way to solve most PC problems. I've lost too much of exactly the same stuff, largely due to PC faults I believe. Back-up your system. It's worth it.

--When you play with fire............

Ticks are by the ten thousands+++++ these days. Quote-re-quote with the automated systems is a mess. It's a bunch of sub second junk that the exchange level needs to deal with, and they are currently attempting to do. Want a tick chart? Pay for it. Execution is first, otherwise you have...

There is, the G-8 currency index.

#1 Set your IB % default settings to disallow you from doing this again. >configure>order defaults>percentage. #2 If it's smart route, this will not occur. #3 If you direct route, and if it's ISLD (and I believe BRUT), then it'll execute against ANYTHING thats on that ECN. ARCA direct...

One of the very few countries with a very sound monetary policy, as far as fiat currency is concerned. If the chaos comes raining down one day, you'll likely see a flight to a sound currency, such as the franc....if they can stay outta the EU.

You're killin' me nitro! Entirely too funny! :p :p :p :p :p :p

Yes, I followed up with samaratin yesterday. It looks like the large majority of the bugs we've been working on have been fixed as of now...or are fixed in your new beta. Nice job on tackling these bugs, IB. We've got a couple left....but these fixes have been a great help already. Thanks...

IB's innovation is enough to keep any programmer up 24/7. Another change (not a bug), that I've been requesting has just been implimented. Smart listed orders don't roll over to ISLD after 4+ min anymore, they go ARCA (so we can at least be nationally posted). We're moving in the right...

ARCA quotes are fixed. Thank you. The ARCA modify problem (which is ARCA's problem)-remains as of yet. I'd venture only pressure from a B/D (IB) will keep them fixing things---so I appreciate your help there. The rest of the IB issues are pending. If they've been fixed...I haven't seen it...

Sounds outstanding Def, but we'd all love to have the old stuff fixed properly before continuing to build. Stability & reliability of the TWS platform is ultimately paramount. I've been working for weeks with IB on current problems. 1 outta 7+ fixed. The innovations are great....but...

Lookin' good! It looks similar to the stats of how i used to trade....before that system died--but I sure do miss it!

To reveal a bit more....it's baskets of pairs-fraction of the risk as straight pairs....no worries I'm spread out very nicely :p . Been trading' for about 8years or so. Ultimate risk management is most important, above all.

Things finished out at the top, 2 nice days in a row here. +9k at ib, second account dropped back ta +475. so about 9.5k today. Lots of action last 2 days.

You've gotta have an edge. Yet if your "gut instinct"/market feel is that damn good....well, I guess that's an edge too.

I have rolling arbs that are in the 2-3 week time frame (they amount to about 5-10% of that volume). The scalps and adjustments account for the rest. All together they add up to 20-80k/sh on average on $3-4k /day avg. Today, it's about 50k sh. and the arbs are kickin' in their profits ta...
