These moves are definitely substantial. The only problem I have with they are they are primarily pre market futures driven with most of the "substantial " price action happening in a thinly traded pre market. You have to figure that most of the stocks going up 2 points today were there on a few...

I did not get the name of the person I talked to.:eek: Last month when this happened at IB I got a call back saying the exchange could not find the order, but the possibility of a fill was always there. I was using Preferred Trade and had the same happened with them, but I didnt even...

I am using IB and have had this happen 3 times so far. I put in an order for a nasdaq stock and the order does not show a fill but it does not allow a cancel . So I call IB and am told they must call the exchange to find out but it may take up to 2 weeks to find out if I am filled or the...

One or twice a week when loading a forum thread my pc will lock up trying to load the page. Only happens on ET, has got to be something with this site.

Got that already. I was curious if a hardware firewall might have some advantages over software. Thanks

If I am using only 1 pc with a cable modem, can I put a router in between to create a firewall? Is it worthwhile to do this? What would I need, just the router or do I need a network card inside the PC also? What are the best brands? I have looked at the linksys site but dont see...

Determine where you want your stop on whatever timeframe you are trading from. If you use multiple charts to trade from stick with your primary. I mention this since it was a mistake I made for a long time. If someone mentions support/resist levels or pivots they will vary based on what...

Mr. Sub When are you going to start your "Trading Journal"?

Guess that means Merrill won't be coming out with a blanket "strong buy" on the semis today.

One huge problem I found with esignal ( prior version)was if you were using a 60 minute bar chart and opened the program at 10:15est the first bar would only show the range from when the program was opened and not from 9:30 am open. I remember I found a way to force the refresh but it was a pain...

Does anyone know of any other company that requires you to pay exchange fees even if you dont get updating price quotes? In some instances I have been required to fill out the usual doc's for the exchanges but never had any fee's. If IB says this is their view of how the fees should be...

I have been using Quotes-plus for several years. I output some symbols to look at in Supercharts, but the Qplus software has a database scanning ability, with which you can write your own scans. There are many scans that come with it and making up new ones is not hard. www.quotes-plus.com RC

White I dont know if you are doing very time sensitive trading like using a 1 min chart but if you can spare a minute try making an order ticket for each trade with a few questions you would need to ask yourself about the trade( simple checklist). When I first started futures years ago my...

I sent you a PM

ok here

The term Black Box for trading systems is a sealed / undisclosed system. You would have to just listen for the beeps and groans of your puter . You would have no clue why its taking trades. I know that there is a trading system called Black Box and the developer most likely named it that as an...

Well, I will stick up for Mark in principal. I dont want the thread removed but I remember the day that the thread was started and I was amazed to see it stay for more than a day since it was such blatant spam. If you cant draw a distinction detween that type of post and the type of posting...

I believe in the positions I've taken but the market is rallying against me.... I dont mean to be sarcastic but at what level of loss are you not going to believe in your positions. I mean you are short 2 stocks and the dow is up 250 points, so you must have really strong reasons for...

I will get back to the topic of which is more important. Last year I opened a small acct at IB to test the waters. With my limited trading there I think its super fast and commisions are fantastic. My main account is with Preferred which I found here 3 years ago. I have a few problems with...

The broker and software ratings areas have become a joke. About 3 weeks ago 3 different names posted 3 broker ratings in the space of 10 minutes. It was obviously bogus and someone pointed that out. NOW I notice the timestamp of when the rating was posted has been removed.:confused:
