New change to options auto-exercise rules. The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) rules governing the automatic exercise of in-the-money equity options at expiration are changing. Effective Saturday, June 21, 2008, any equity option that is $0.01 or greater in the money at expiration will...

IMHO: For the past three hours, every attempt to break above the twenty-period EMA of the fifteen-minute chart was a failure. Need to break this barrior first.

It is more complicated than that: Interactive Brokers have different trigger methods for the stop orders: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/tws/usersguidebook/configuretws/modify_the_stop_trigger_method.htm It is my understand that most brokers use "Bid/Ask" as the default...

Any suggestion or recommendation ? :)

Hi, Interactive Brokers changed the default setting for stop orders couple years ago. Some people on this message board were complaining about this. (If memory serves, most of them were daytrading futures and stocks.) For the time being, what is the best setting or configuration to...

It may be a good time to improve your old system: A good BUY/SELL signal usually gives a trader more than one reasons to long/short. By examining price action, technical indicators, volume, etc. you may be able to find an extra reason to pull the trigger. Hopefully, the additional filter...

There is no perfect broker. If there is one, all the other will go out of business within a short period of time. We have to compromise. The hard reality is: I have been searching for the unicorn for nine years. Currently, I have accounts at Interactive Brokers, OptionsXpress, and...

Dear Comrades, TOS updated their software during the weekend. Please proceed with caution.:eek:

Hi, Has anyone been using Ninja Trader and Interactive Brokers to trade CL futures ? Like to share any experience ( good or bad ) ? I have an account with Thinkorswim for many years. For obvious reasons, I am shopping around now.:p Thanks in advance.

Well, can we switch to the paper trading account, and asked TOS/TDA to exchange the paper profit with real money at the end of the day ? :p Of course, if there is any loss, we'll keep our mouths shut.:D

I am completely humbled by CL today.:eek:

Hi, You may like to add the following bullish trend line to your chart.:p

You mean shorting this descending triangle ?:p

I don't know how to use volume for trading. ( I am working on it.) :D Today, the channels and trend lines seem to work fine for CLQ1.

It seems that CLQ1 is struggling to break above the bearish trendline.
