The internals were quite terrible on Friday. New lows really outstripped new highs by 10 to 1 and the decliners swamped advancing stocks. As for the fundamentals, lots of problems out there depending on your perspective. However, it would seem to me that the market has bought into the...

Just curious as to why a number of traders are so 'caught up' in trying to predict a market crash? A crash is an outlier event and the probability of it occurring is extremely small statistically (although it has occurred more than it should). The only two outliers of this magnitude that stick...

Should I be shorting these on Monday? Is that what you're saying? Or were you short these? I didn't see that in your journal but maybe i missed it. I understand if you don't want to give away your predictions but you do post them so i'd appreciate if you could post a few for Monday. I...

Ok Coolweb, read your post. You are calling for a 'massacre' by the sounds of it. With your predictive powers, I don't understand why you're not short if you expect a massacre? Again, not attacking, just want to understand. I don't have predictive powers like you. The money comes...

So where are we then? You seem to know. Should i be dumping any long positions on Monday? Your comment that experienced traders 'know' is laughable. Would that be similar to the analysts and market strategists who know? C'mon, give me a break. No one really knows. The S&P could rebound...

Fascinating stuff.

Why not start with your own account? Nothing but trouble when you guarantee another person against loss.

No offense, but I don't think the CFTC is going to do him a lot of good in Canada. Last post, enough time wasted. Hope your problem gets resolved.

Actually, I found my time with the more expensive online brokers to be very rewarding. It taught me how to be more patient and wait for the best trading set ups. Now that I'm using a lower commission broker, nothing has changed except i keep more of my profits. It doesn't matter how much...

Encourages legal action????????????????????????????????? I was going to suggest that you go through the channels of the IDA to resolve this. Probably your best chance without costing you a lot of money. Unfortunately you've made up your mind in this regard. Here's some sound advice...

Luckily today I managed to free myself from my shackles and managed to post a few messages. But alas, here come the freedom guards to put my chains back on. What the hell are you talking about?

You're one up on me. I really don't understand his argument.

Whoa Electric, i don't think i've ever seen you use such strong language before: "you are one twisted fuck" Funny though! BTW, Canada is a really nice place. Why does anyone screw around with these stupid side deals? Use a broker where the charges are upfront and stated. No...

No, it's more complicated than that. You need to multiply by 4.

The quotes have been delayed some days. Do you understand what a market order is? It will execute automatically at the best price available. So if the best offer on the book is 20 cents higher than the last price traded, this is the price you will get.

What do you mean by the 'stand alone' version? Where does a person download this? I only use TWS for order entry basically. I would like to run the least complex, least intensive version. Thanks in advance for replies.

Sorry to butt in on your thread. Here's a problem i noticed today. The TWS was dropping orders today. I placed an order to sell 500 shares and another order to buy 300 shares of another stock. I shut down the TWS and left for the day. Normally the orders remain on the book. Yet today...

It's been a good month. TD rolled out their new pricing structure and IB lowered their Canadian commissions from 2 cents per share (first 500) to 1 cent. Ironically, for a brief few days, TD had a lower pricing structure than IB for Cdn equities. The problem with all the large Cdn brokers...

Twice this week the data feed from the TSX has been delayed. However, order entry still works fine. As for this being an IB specific problem, other vendors experience the exact same problems. I would suggest to have a backup datafeed. Torontotrader, a market order will hit bids until...

The increase in the offering price by the underwriters should temper any 'pop' that people were expecting. As for getting an allocation, good luck. It's already placed.
