    which software can help me with limit orders/conditional market orders?

    thanks hoi...i'm not following your post 100%. are you saying that if i reduce the tickers to 50 (which i can probably do), i can do this without a problem in TWS? it sounds like i have to access a special feature of TWS in order to do this though? is that accurate?

    Report: Markets 'Are Like 1987 Crash'

    if you have a system and your personal opinion on where your stop loss should be is backed up by good backtesting with in sample/out of sample data, then it sounds like a valid personal view. otherwise, try your luck at the racetrack...you'll probably have the same odds and it will be more fun.

    Glub, glub, glub...

    best guess is more lows to get tested with most of the downside action occuring post holiday, then a sharp bounce up to shake out weak-handed shorts, bringing us back up to the levels where we are right now...that move then fades into a failing rally attempt that ends up showing scary...
