Absolutely true. Congrats and good luck.

It blinked off and on for a few seconds but is back up now.

just to stir the pot. He did it with several other dormant threads of his. increasenow is a post and thread generating machine to be sure.

You could be right. Bernanke has put this market into a tailspin. I keep thinking though that we will get some sort of b.s. Gasparino type rumor this afternoon to roast the late sellers. I wouldn't be a seller today of 12,000.

Ok, thanks. Your post got me thinking about Thinkorswim so I'll have to do some more research on them. Let us know if you find out any more info on your price improvement testing. Very good info so far.

In short, no. I think McCain will cut spending on domestic programs which is needed but he is a warmonger and will make up for any spending cuts with his 100 years in Iraq policy. Basically, six of one half dozen of the other in regards to future spending. The players may change but the game...

I think your observations are pretty valid. Seems like IB is falling behind Thinkorswim in this regard. How is Thinkorswim in regards to futures trading? I only trade futures and have been looking around at other brokers as a backup to IB. Thanks.

Oil is getting spanked today. Yikes.. down 2.5%. This market is getting whipsawed a lot lately.

No, not yet... Maybe we can get a little afternoon rally going but not at this pace. I'd be willing to go long this market for about 3 hours tops right now. That to me is a long term position in this market :).

Bernanke-More house price drops, loan woes likely What can I say... that man has the magic touch.

Ok, are you trying to close out a long position or open a short position in the penny stock? Maybe the shares are not available for trading if you are going short. If you are exiting a long position and selling at the bid obviously there is a problem so I would call IB directly.

Hmm.. I would say no. Has your account been frozen for margin requirements or something? What did IB tell you?

That's great. If you combine your research with the George Costanza Method (tm) of decision making you should have no trouble being very successful at futures trading. Good luck.

increasenow has a good track record for fades. He doesn't actually trade though so don't expect him to post any results. He is mostly just a cheerleader.

Guess equities and US dollar tank further. His track record is pretty darn good at doing that.

I don't think so. I think she left during/right after the training was over. She is now trading retail forex so maybe she will show up here and post. I'm sure she is reading here anyways.

"There’s a lot of money to pay for this that doesn’t have to be U.S. taxpayer money, and it starts with the assets of the Iraqi people…We’re dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon.” - Paul Wolfowitz, March 27, 2003 We're still...

I don't know if he is down to zero. Some folks who follow it closer than me have commented that he probably lost at least 90%+ of his starting cash at the bottom. But yes, he would have to pay back any amount in excess of the cash he had on hand if he ended up losing more than was in his...

Well, he probably feels like he has an edge on the market and has a better feel for where it will go. Obviously, this report was a surprise and he lost money but he's probably been trading ahead of these reports for awhile successfully. Here is an article from 2007 Trader Monthly by the very...

Good luck with it. I probably covered a little too early but can't complain as I was only in the position for about 5 minutes and was about to go to bed anyway. You can't complain about fast money so I won't.
