    Fidelity holding my ask option again...

    If this is the case then why are you trying to micro-manage the way your broker is handling the order? You're basically contradicting yourself... either you want to work the order every nanosecond or you want to forget about it for a week. Which one is it?

    The Fed's Real Mandate

    They are causing real economic pain, but their greatest efforts have been in terms of “moral suasion” that is not moral or true persuasion, but simply a devious deception: disingenuous speeches and public comments threatening draconian interest rate hikes to gas light a higher dollar and help...

    End of an era prompts the question: Did negative interest rates work?

    The question is irrelevant. What should be asked is who did it work for and who did it work against.

    My "sell to open" option did NOT hit any markets today!!

    Don't keep us in suspense... did you get filled after specifying CBOE? Lol. Was it at a better price than 65₵?

    Kuppy ....... Fed

    That's fair enough. However, you'd think that they'd occasionally be pro-active rather than reactive. Even guys like Summers, who's far from a heterodox economist, where sounding alarm bells about inflation almost a full year before any rate increases. OTOH, if your point is that they're an...

    Kuppy ....... Fed

    I understand completely. What I'm simply pointing out is that the phrase "a very, very long way ... off" is highly imprecise and largely subjective when you consider a single individual's welfare.

    Kuppy ....... Fed

    With all due respect, I think you're exemplifying the problem the Fed and conventional/neoclassical economists have. Whenever they contradict their own fundamental definitions and assumptions, or those assumptions are questioned in a basic and critical manner, they create caveats or...

    Kuppy ....... Fed

    Exactly what does it mean to issue a bill/note/bond if it's not the act of borrowing capital?

    Kuppy ....... Fed

    Do you mean to imply that our trading partners don't care how much we borrow or if it ever gets paid back?

    Kuppy ....... Fed

    It's a sticky situation for sure. At this point Hayek's "Road to Serfdom" should be required reading for everyone in secondary school... so that the general population can understand what's at stake; as well as the how's and why's. Otherwise, the west will crumble towards totalitarianism (of...

    How do you interpret this picture?

    IDK if it's racist, but it's definitely biased... at least 1 or maybe even two of the people in the picture should be slamming their fist on the table or pulling out their hair because news just came in that the politicos in Washington decided to mess with the economy "for the good of the nation".

    new Interactive Brokers API bug introduced in v10.x

    Ha, yeah... my optimism waxes and wanes. I'll admit the issue probably doesn't affect very many people. That said, it's rather clearly identified, can actually be resolved in somewhat short order by a capable developer with access to the code, and finally... some people actually do take pride in...

    new Interactive Brokers API bug introduced in v10.x

    Interesting, thanks. Out of curiosity are you using Windows, Mac, or Linux? I've seen it on both Linux and Windows 10 Home. I suspect it happens on all platforms and it's one of those tricky race condition type of bugs affecting their 10.x branches of TWS/IBG. Anyway... I've also experienced...

    new Interactive Brokers API bug introduced in v10.x

    Lol. What's frustrating in my case is that the problem isn't intermittent, it's easily reproducible. And, typically with software bugs, once you can reliably reproduce them with a test case they're somewhat easily fixed. So it's too bad I don't have access to the TWS java code that way I can...

    new Interactive Brokers API bug introduced in v10.x

    You should still be able to try the example, if you're interested, since it doesn't need live data; it uses delayed frozen data. Even a trial account could be used. Still, I didn't know about that group and I'll ask over there too. Thanks.

    new Interactive Brokers API bug introduced in v10.x

    Non-simultaneous clients with ID numbers different from the first don't receive price ticks for a given stock after requesting them. Exact details are documented here (). Can anyone reproduce this? Or, is anyone suffering from it?
