    Crude !!!

    of course this is when globex goes offline for 45min. CLK May Crude last 64.48, up about 1.50 from the close. gold/silver also quoted slightly higher as well. Could open back near the highs if some confirmation comes in off the wires on what is really going on. I haven't seen this type of move...

    ECBOT vs. COMEX(NYMEX) for gold

    the CBOT/CME merger has nothing to do with GC/ZG at all actually. CME has an agreement setup with NYMEX to trade COMEX gold/silver on the CME globex electronic platform. Same with QM NYMEX mini-Crude. For those that may be new to trading gold/silver in the electronic marketplace, you should...

    TWS hiccups in fast market. (JAVA ISSUE!!)

    no brokers platform is reliable in fast markets as orders/messaging begin to overwhelm the systems. I chose to stay flat while this occurs as the risk of getting shitty fills or not getting filled at all increases dramatically. IB has been about 95% satisfactory for me over that past 5 years so...

    ZGG7 flirting with 600 levels

    No plans to scale back in until the XAU reaches 115-120. This would mean gold down at 580 or so.

    What did you learn this year?

    Sticking to your proven mechanical based system. The moment a trade is made outside of this system it becomes an impulsive "gamble". The vast majority of gambled trades lose. The vast majority of system based trades win. Maintain discipline and patience at all times when capital is exposed to...

    COMEX Metal Futures to Trade on Globex!

    Does anyone know if IB will be supporting this? I don't see an updated listing on the IB website. This marks the beginning of the end of open-outcry COMEX gold/silver as we know it!

    What happened to gold at 6:39EST (13 nov)?

    if anything, it was the ameteur traders that got spanked today with this rundown. these things do and will occur in thinly traded electronic sessions primarily when nobody is watching. yes, it is a shitty thing to do but unfortunately, this is a greedy game. stop losses can't be used under these...

    Dow Theory: From Bear to Bull, the Long Haul

    I believe that this has been a cyclical bull market that begun in October 2002 since the lows have not been retested since then. The market should give back half of these gains this summer and advance sometime in the fall to new highs in this run. However, the bear should resume once again...

    Was today a blowoff top in DOW/NAZ?

    huge volume reversal improves the odds that today was it. markets needs spx/ndx needs two consecutive days of geniune selling to confim. no dip buying bullshit either!

    IB's Data Feed Sucks

    I use Datek for a swing trade account where I don't have to rely on the speed and reliability of my IB intraday account. That is the only thing good about Datek, is their LII quotes for Nasdaq is good and I need the RT tape for IB intraday trades. However, I would never give Datek the amount of...

    No Q's to short at IB

    Just opened an IB account and strictly trade QQQ for a living. Does IB have an issue with providing blocks to short during intraday or is this problem only effect overnight short positions? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Would need to know this info before I fund the account with PDT...
