Disconnected twice today( in So California with a cable modem), i would guess for 3 to 5 minutes, had unfilled order open and want to cancel, but could not reach IB before i was reconnected. Last week the marketdata disappeared several times and had at least one complete disconnect...

The predatorpro site also has a automatic open order software called Orca, that is preprogramed to set limit order prices for 650 NYSE stocks and can send open only orders right before the NYSE open with one click. The site also states that "countless traders do (open orders) these days" yet...

Did not work, on E signal WYE=N still shows 46.99 as the open. Just a bad number on e signal's part.

It looks like E signal screwed up the open price. 1 second before a long list of 46.15 prints on secondary exchanges E signal has a NYSE print of 46.99. I had an order in on WYE, around 46.00 but can't remember exactly, just missed a good winner. Thanks

Tony, Nice to see you posting again. I am curious how you made money on WYE. I have its opening print at 46.99 (down $1.24 so no short) and it went way down from there. How did you get a profit on that one, long or short or did you not an open only order. Maybe my data feeds...

Does anyone know specifical the best or cheapest way for a retail trader from home to get the MOC imbalances. I understand that Dow Jones News needs to be purchased thru a retail company or it's about $600 a month if purchased directly through DJN. I purchased Dow Jones news from Datek but...

If i am not mistaken the 90s was the largest expansion in US history since data has been collected. Not only is this not a depression or a crisis, but the economy is growing at a slow rate. It may turn into a recession or depression but that is a bit off with 94% of american working and...

My understanding is that IB will not allow you to buy in lots less than 100 on the NYSE, you can only sell in odd lots on the NYSE. I have not traded odd lots but this is what i remember reading at IB. Good luck

Thanks to posts or PM by Lescor and Pasternak I have tried to keep much more historical detail like they do for my open only trading and I think it has help me a lot. I now track many factors for every OO trade and try analyzing the historical data to mainly avoid being filled in big losers...

I would keep less than $500,000 SPIC insurance max. If you have less than $500,000 and are still worried, you are even more paranoid than me and i thought i worried about everything. I think in this business its better to question everything, you make fewer mistakes and hopeful avoid big...

From what i gather some Bright offices, or maybe just one office, now have noone that still trades the open orders. Other people are trading very small size, hoping the strategy comes back and then they will increase share size. I heard that some traders on bad mornings have lost about a...

My blue hangs tend to take about 5 to 15 seconds, then go green. Can't remember one staying blue. I have had a pink hang on a cancel order never turn red and then the pink order get executed on the NYSE about an hour after i tried to cancel. Learned i better call IB on pink Hangs.

its raining here in orange too. My connection was lost today for about 3 minutes and i use to have tradestation.

Jerry, you must be a better trader than me, cause i need more than a car. Does anyone know of a bank with weak security. This current market as been so hard on me i need some cash. Please PM me cause i don't want the bank to know i am coming. Thank in advance.

I was logged out of IB at about 9:40 eastern time. It took about 30 to 45 seconds for IB's auto login to get me back in. Other than the log off, IB work great today, no frozen quotes and fast fills. I am in So. Cal., i think its IB's local internet service connection, because some of my...

You are a big man BUFF. However, in the end you helped to inform a lot of people, who now know a lot more about FICA taxes. Good luck

OZ, I have been watching retail stock for a while and am often surprised how they react to news. But there is often a strong reaction in the stock price when the retail sales data is released. So based on that belief, i placed a huge envelope on retail and missed any fills in the retail...

Everyone that does OO will have big losses, even Don had a $4,000 to $5,000 loss on Merck back in early Dec. I remember that one well because it took me for a big loss too. Regarding KSS, 1000 shares were printed at a 10 cent winner right after the NYSE open print, so some guy got out a...

I think it means that you either play golf once a year or you are not very cordinated. In golf you play againist yourself and the course, so the score as compared to others does not matter. So even if you can't break 120 the strategy is similar. Risk - reward, lay up or hit over the water...

I am a golfer and i understand the connection to golf and trading that you were talking about. Never thought about it before, but its a similar mindset. The strategy of how to attact a hole. When to go for broke or just punch out into the fairway to cut your loses. and concentration for long...
