Here's what my P&L looked on UTH after a long entry/exit of 100 shs earlier in the day. Closing TWS. Restarting TWS. A short entry on UTH 100 shs followed by a cover and reverse long entry 200 shs (to be net long 100 shs). Check out my opening unrealized P&L on this last trade! (See...

Any Upstate NY traders here? - David

When I tried I got the message: "Order Rejected - The stock you marked for short sale is not presently available for borrow and/or it is on the NASDAQ UPC 11830 list. You may not sell this stock short through the system." Shorted SPY just fine but wanted DIA as well. - David

I got the UPC11830 rule message (that or that shares can't be found for shorting) from IB this morning when trying to short the DIA. Rather than waiting on hold, etc. I moved on to other things (like shorting SPY which was no problem). But ... has anyone ever gotten such a message from IB...

The titles from my quote vendor say: SPX - S&P 500 Index (CBOE) INX - S&P Cash Index That's fine but I really don't know what the difference is if there is one. I have access to both and want to use one of them in a calculation. Wondered whether it mattered to use one vs. the other...

From the Appian website on their Traveler card: "Appian Traveler is a PC-card add-in adapter with 4 MB of onboard RAM dedicated to your secondary monitor."

Baron - I would like the ability to set in my profile/options the number of posts to display per page. Right now it's "perpage=6". I've found that I can manually edit the address and set it to 1 and from that point I can click through the thread one post at a time which I like since I don't have...

I don't know if your laptop has any built in provisions to already do this or not but I do know of someone that uses the Appian Traveler card successfully to do this. The Appian website shows a picture of a projector hooked up as the second monitor but he uses a CRT and extends his desktop that...

I would like a 'kick' button so I could send a signal or count to someone that they got 'kicked' and I would also like to have it told or displayed to the user how many people have put them on 'ignore'. I would like the display of kicks and ignores to be prominent. I would start buy giving...

Ok - now that I've got them apart where exactly should I spray the WD40? Oh and YES - I did back up my data before doing this. It's on the second drive in the back and to the left. Thanks for the help! - David

IBM has a collection of wav files for some hard drive problems that make noises. Enjoy! http://ssddom01.storage.ibm.com/hddt/knowtree.nsf/05a3f9e8f23c90d9862565b000531171/4b1a62a50f405d0d86256756006e340c?OpenDocument

Under 'Edit Options' for 'Hide Email Address?' it says: "Clicking yes hides your email address in your public profile, so that it is not accessible by other users." If I select 'Yes' is my e-mail address really visible to others or is it really that members can now send me e-mail but they...

I use TradeLog and Excel depending on what I want to accomplish. For more comments on Tradelog and other competing or companion options refer to the following posts and threads. There may be other posts and threads out there on this as well but these are the ones I have seen in the past. Good...

Per one of Tony's last ET messages ... today would be the day ... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=88197#post88197 Anyone hear anything about this happening here or in some other chatroom? - David I

I went to 1.4 Java a few weeks ago with TWS and it wasn't a pleasant experience. I don't know if I did something wrong or if the TWS version wasn't so good with 1.4 then or if my system just couldn't handle it (it's on an older computer.) The symptoms I would get were all similar to that of a...

There are other Van K. Tharp books/publications as well. I only mentioned the ones I was familar with at bookstores. His other works like the Peak Performance course etc. may also be great but I don't have information on them. - David

My favorite of the Van K. Tharp books is "Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom: The Search for the Holy Grail" (TYWTFF). It has quite a bit on expectancy and risk management along with lots of other good stuff. I've looked at "Financial Freedom Through Electronic Day Trading" (FFTEDT) which a...
