Friday-Monday sell off reversal signal wasn't meant to be. The market sold off quickly in the morning without much panic and creeped way back from the low by the end of the day posting minor gains. It's not exactly clear whether this is a bullish reversal or a corrective wave before another...

Hmm NDX holding the market up and the dow holding above the previous intermediate high of 12365. . .gotta love them dip buyers! I guess it's January effect here we come again?

I'd like to add that despite the current problem, TWS is still way ahead of some proprietary duds I've used in the past (Prosper Pro, LightSpeed). I just wish it didn't get updated as often.

And yes (before someone asks me), I've tried to reload my settings, relogged into my accounts but no, I haven't restarted my computer yet because I can't right now due to some positions I'm holding.

My BTs on TWS

What I notice also is that IB forces me to upgrade the TWS whenever the version I'm using becomes very robust.:mad:

I've said on another thread this dreadful stuff would happen. . .:( "Hmm. . .last time we had this problem on a weekend about three months ago IB TWS was a nightmare itself on the following Monday. Crossing my fingers here. . ."

My book trader is all messed up across all products & exchanges

Oh man, you again? Does this mean I have no choice but to buy ES? :( The joke aside what do you 'objectively' think of NDX/QQQQ/NQ? Looks to me like it wants to (unreasonably but that's my subjective view speaking) go much higher.

My thoughts on equity using Bill Gross's GDP extrapolation and my required rate of return. If Bill Gross's assessment that the GDP growth tends to revert to the mean of about 5% and I want to get at least 8% return on mature cyclical stocks the fair value of the Dow is, using the dividend...

Hmm. . .last time we had this problem on a weekend about three months ago IB TWS was a nightmare itself on the following Monday. Crossing my fingers here. . .

He was spot on about the bond rally last fall. He was looking for the 10 year to fall to yield 4.7% since Summer and we went well beyond that. At least for the time being it seems to be in his business interest to see the interest rate go down and the 10 year Tres. go down even further from...

I read Bill Gross's bond outlook once a month ( http://www.pimco.com/TopNav/Home/Default.htm ). A pretty sagacious guy, but personally I think he's a little too bullish on bonds (I think it will go the other way with possibly rising interest in the horizon and the Fed actually becoming...

I do watch world markets and am aware of their correlations but my opinion is that setting up the US market just because the Shanghai or Bombay went up (or down) 2-3 percent overnight or the press is bullish or there is perceived pent-up demand to buy stocks is really a poor excuse on the part...

This Week's Market Analysis Borrowing the CNBC anchors' preferred term throughout Monday morning, this week saw the Dow started the year on a tear but the euphoria quickly disappeared just as soon as it came and the market is now sitting at crossroads, with a decision to make that would affect...

I kind of got hooked on posting my charts (previously here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=83194&perpage=6&pagenumber=12 ) so I thought I might as well create a thread of my own and keep on doing it. Mostly daily stuff, though I trade intraday mostly. I might also...

Michelle Caruso Cabrrera - you gotta watch her babble about where the Dow futures are headed at 4 o'clock in the morning on Worldwide Exchange to appreciate how truly annoying she can be. . .

S&P action on a side note.

Actually thehangingman is quite levelheaded unlike the more animated BS if you read his other posts. Looking forward to reading more posts from guys like him.

865.7 is all right during the day but what a hassle it is at night - the quotes become stale or you get messed up levels on booktrader time to time and I never had this problem before this forced upgrade!
