Along various lines of Mav, spike & steve.....but let's combine them and take a bigger picture view. Suppose you use the analogy of sports stars to good traders: They all have their own styles, in different sports, each of them are unique. All of them train, in various ways--to be the very...

IB isn't in the business of scamming anyone. When connection is lost any orders sent via API are attached to a page called "API" on the TWS, which is generated when you place an API order. It is a bit of a problem that this page doesn't save itself when a TWS connection is lost. The only...

And in the next 30 days we'll have another full moon. Agreed, we'll do 1284, but I've got 1291-1294 in same time frame. 1284 seems like a gim'me. Another 2-4 days of consolidation -and we're rollin'.

Looking like a good long set-up. Count me in, thanks. :p

IIF, lookin good.

Base maximum orders, not as a fixed number--but a fixed dollar amount as a multiple of equity. It still needs to be quite open to allow efficient order placement. There's only so much hand holding needed. IB "The Professional's Gateway to the Wold Markets" ---let's emphasize the...

I really hope its not a flat 300 for all accounts, most days I can have double that. This is a REALLY bad idea IB. Base maximum orders on account size at least!

I'd agree....it becomes very, very costly....even with back-ups, as you're likely biased to a primary provider's set-up. Every time there is an "incident" of this magnitude....esignal is handing money to competitors. I'll be checking out CQG for a new primary provider. I've got 3-4 back-up...

WTF??? Looks like a takeover? Are you saying you were long and they liquidated you at $6.50? I wouldn't take that, not in a million years. If I had to throw them a major bone, maybe $7.00, but $6.50? EDIT: I SEE THE PRINT, 15:13;53......complete BS given even an afterhours market--...get it...

Szeven is a solid guy, and 21 business days is a VERY long hold on "certified" funds. I agree that it's too long. Hold a check for 365 days and your bad debts will go down even further. I also agree with IB on this- in a digital age, clearing funds in a digital manner reduces fraud and...

This is true as any East Texas boy can tell it. Funny, how accurate it is, actually. Try Austin, much drier than Houston, a lot more progressive as well. Round Rock to San Marcos is the "liberal" zone......otherwise TX is VERY conservative (Houston's not bad at all though in this respect.)...

Many have been moved to NYSE, in phase 1 of the transitioning away from AMEX. More are getting moved in the next few months.

I think GET IN THE VAN is your best book up there. :cool:

That's no TV, It's a beached whale CRT! Just kiddin', but at that range a nice LCD, front and center would be a good idea. It'll save you some money at the optimologist if you switch fully to LCD. My eyes used to burn when I had a lot of CRTs runnin'....really had to turn down the AC as well...

There is a disconnect (in my opinion) between the major curriences and gold valuations....we'll see which ones come back to base, I'll bet gold comes down a good bit....and CHF & EUR up a little. That said, you've got one goofy chart. You can make anything look flat or parabolic with the right...

Welcome to JimRockford.com :confused:

Another quick note, that I forgot to include: My similar experience was DURING reg. market hours.

I coulda swore I've direct routed INET, immediately after getting "phantom" smart/INET for a short....and been posted, with no change in tick. Hmmmm, this is definately a toss-up then.

Yes, some kind of new glitch to be sure. I've seen it for about the same time as you started. I'm guessing IB. Here's why: I send out a SMART order on an ishare (uptick exempt), it hits a bid I'm trying to nail. It'll route ARCA or NYSE AMEX (not sure about others) and fill (my ask) & the...

I wasn't going to post anymore, but here's a final going away present. I've included execution reports for you kiddies to enjoy in the attachment. I really don't trade these guys directly, they usually don't have enough liquidity to overcome the spread, but today, IYR wasn't too bad, ICF...
