I don't trade options, but I have no problems at all entering buy and sell orders simultaneously for futures. Doesn't have to be OCO either. Unless there's something about options I don't know about, it might be that there's something about the way you are entering the orders that's wrong.

Can't you use an OCA order?

Why do you say "once again"? That's the way my TWS has been for years. (Also, it's the way I like it.)

But then, stocks are always "way ahead" of economic developments. The stock market may be wrong about the future, but it isn't wrong on the mere statement that it is ahead of the economy.

This is an interesting link. Du Plessis' book is excellent.

Bull's Eye has a converter from AMIBroker AQD Data. I'm not familiar with AMIbroker, so I don't know if that helps. Bull's Eye has a liking for Metastock format and will automatically set up Metastock data files when the program is started, but it will deal with many different formats...

BullsEye has definitely been bought out. I know because, as a BullsEye customer, I received an email from the new owner. If you're into P&F, it's the best software I know of.

Well, it's a problem when you want to do business in a foreign country (the U.S.A.) and the laws are different from those of your home country. I don't entirely like those U.S. laws, but I can't see any good reason why some wealthy U.S. citizens ought to be allowed to get away with illegal...

each card is different.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Bank of America Corp. agreed to a $33 million settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which said the mega-bank made "materially false and misleading statements" to shareholders about billions in bonuses paid to Merrill Lynch executives before...

I traded bond futures for about 15 years, and then last September I went on vacation; and when I came back, I started trading the ES. I'm not quite sure why. It just seemed like the thing to do. Personally, I find the ES easier to trade than ZB. I think it's because the bonds are more...

Ahh, I see. Well, at present it looks like a pure Last option is not available. Generally, though, if the bid/ask gets beyond your trigger, I would think you would want to exit. In any liquid market, that is virtually certain to result in a last price beyond your trigger. If the bid/ask is...

You can set the trigger method in the Global Configuration section. I believe what you want is the "Last or Bid/Ask" selection.

If you change BO to GWB, that's exactly how I felt eight years ago.

Ok, but why??

That's a good question. The round trip delay to a GSO satellite is 240-280 ms (depending on just where the satellite is). That's about 1/4 second. Even assuming several hops and delays in signal processing, I can't come up with anything near 7 seconds for "anything that goes thru a satellite."

Block trades are 5000 cars for 2, 5, 10s. 3000 for 30 years. Half that for extended hours. Will be reported on Market Data Platform.

Basically, yes, that is correct. But there are actually two types of stop order on globex. The CME's official description is: Stop orders may be defined as a Stop Limit or a Stop with Protection. Stop Limit Order will enter the market as a Limit order, at a customer specified limit...

Whoa....that's a bit disturbing. The segregated funds also are off about $7 million, which indicates customers pulling out. For what reason, we don't know. A firm that's had a problem that frightened customers would probably be well advised to let those customers know what's behind...

It WAS supposed to be at 1:00, and I would've been out before then, but then this. Cost me a bunch. I am somewhat aggrieved.
