damn, this totally sucks. it really does. i am not sure there is a fix for this unless you have another account with another broker. you are handcuffed right now. i recommend you take a pic of your pending orders with a time stamp on them.

yeah surdo, thanks for the tip. i did find out i was short so i opened a long position to offset my short trade. i then checked my online account positions and i am flat. i even called RJO to doublecheck it with a representative. problem is: TS is currently showing i am long now...i...

how are they supposed to find out???? call the CME and track down singular orders on a customer basis??? that'll take forever, if not end of day.

Does your account balance show the loss?

What are we supposed to be doing with this pending order crap???

Exactly, i cant even think of hedging out my position because i dont know whether the position was ever triggered.

I have a pending order and I have no clue whether i got filled or not... phone lines are busy...good job TS...

Actually, only swing-position traders would be affected by a 9/11 part 2 because daytraders wouldn't get to trade as markets wouldn't even open. Didn't the airplanes crash into the towers before 9.30am ET?

Hi Thanks for taking time to discuss such an important variable of trading as volume. I honestly don't care about the fact you are also trying to sell something. You sound legit and real, I wish all vendors took the same amount of time to sell their products/theories/etc. Anyways, I...

1) Fix US public deficit 2) Raise rates 3) Bush to go home - at least this will happen soon - 4) Resume international diplomacy and stop idiotic expensive wars abroad I am not mentioning oil to drop because i see it as a natural consequence of the US dollar appreciation.

Guess thousands of clients were trying to do the same thing.

Surdo If you have bracket orders on the DOM, they'll get filled no matter what. Last month I had a data outage while in a trade and my limit order got hit and respected. By the time data came back on, I was out and all cleared. I see using another broker in case you use no stops or...

This is the 3rd time this week. Totally unreliable.

Totally unacceptable, especially on NFP day and with a pending economic report at 10am. Third time this week, where is the so much advertised professionality and reliability???

You trying to sound like a smart ass like many love to do here at ET? Anyways, I'll take it from an initiated professional trader like yourself that the guy who started this thread meant 3X ATR on a single contract basis. Another question: when no ATR period is specified, what does that...

Going back to the topic of this thread, some key information is missing in the question: - 3X ATR on what timeframe? I assume you implied daily ATR. - What ATR period? 21? 14? If we take daily ATR set at 14, current reading for ES would be around 21 pts. 3 times that equals 63 pts...

IMO it's impossible we reach $15 per gallon simply because oil demand would drop sharply. The average Joe Public would sell his car and use public transportation... And what about the airline industry??? Flying would become too expensive as well. Oil will continue to climb until...

Agree. Best thing Bernie can do is stop lowering rates, admit we are in deep shit and let it play out no matter what. If the markets must tank 50% to reach a bottom, so be it. In the meantime, re-write all the rules of the game to prevent another credit crunch from happening in the future.

Technically speaking, can Bernanke be replaced by someone else? And who is to determine Bernanke get replaced?

When we initiate a position, we believe the odds are on our side. Whatever the underlying reason for us to believe the odds are on our side, once we are in a trade we must monitor the market and determine whether the probabilities of success are increasing or decreasing. As soon as we lose...
