my guess is that the ones who are making the real $$$ do not frequent boards like these. These people know how to trade and would only look upon boards like these as cheap entertainment if that. I would also guess that 99% of the 10,000+ members here do not trade for a living. Now getting an...

Hitman, If there is an "edge" at the moment to getting them reduced, then why not ask anyway. Just because they were recently reduced does not mean they can't be reduced again. Every little bit helps. At worst, they'll just say no.

the info you provided is outdated. IMO "First of all, the good systems are expensive due to their use of the Pentium III Xeon processor. This chip has been designed with large amounts of cache memory in order to communicate efficiently with additional system processors. Xeon processors with...

...after all, this is EliteTrader. :p

...then get a different charting platform.

Why are there so many outages today? Thanks!

Throw me some bids. LOL Actually not worth anything to me, enjoy! It's a riot http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/subject.gsp?subjectid=51389

I know who the count is. Is that offer to good anyone? :D

Why don't you just review those agreement forms again? After all, that's what matters, not what we think. Here's link: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/retailAccount/sampleForms/margin_risk.html

Well Kev, at least those posts were more enjoyable than reading spam from sorry @$$ venders. Got a funny feeling about all this though. Me thinks a Mod might get an itchy trigger finger once he reads all this :eek: Delete back down to 29 Delete down boy down Delete Take...

Not sure what you're looking for, but here goes. Noticing a pattern is the easy part. Timing the entry is the hard part. If Joe sees a buy setup, then he should take that buy. If he gets stopped out, oh well that's part of the game. Just watch for next pattern and be consistant in the...

Thank you for the updates

I respect the fact that you posted a possible trading system. Even if you posted the "HOLY GRAIL" the same folks would attack it. If you told em the sky is blue, they'd argue with you about that too. LOL That's just how some folks are on this board. I imagine some people that didn't...

Def, Thank you for the response. Could you provide a more direct detailed answer of why the IB system was down for an hour on 3-21-02? Apparently, it was not a Globex outage as other trading platforms were humming along fine at the same time. Just trying to understand what's really...

So what was the fix?

Some good advice and interesting stories there guys. Will the Hitman listen? Probably not. I imagine people have been telling him the same stuff and more for a good couple years now at least. I would guess he's got an "immune system" built up toward good advice by now. He's only going to...

I've heard these IB problems metioned everywhere. Why does it only happen @ IB and not on other platforms? Anybody "really" know?

I'd say just try em both out for yourself. Use the stand alone for a week and then switch and use the browser based for a week. After a couple weeks, you'll know exactly which one you perfer.

CDGTrader, The bottomline is that the markets are not going anywhere. They will still be here tomorrow, next week, and 2 years from now. So whatever you decide to do in the future, just make sure you stick it out in college for the next two years and GET THAT DEGREE FIRST. I realize you...
