I'm trying to log in, but I can not :mad: :mad: :mad: This is from the system status page : 18:43 EST Some clients may experience difficulties logging in to their Trader Workstatsions we are currently working to resolve this issue. Really strange !! TWS should be up and running. I...

For those who want to challenge this; I've been in martial arts for quite some time, and we've done some digital video recordings and slow-motion capture just a few months ago. Result: The time it takes for me to do a full mawashi-geri (roundhouse-kick at your head) is about 400-600ms. Mind you...

From Europe to Swiss server : 39, 39, 40, 38 (Avg. 39 ms) From Europe to US server : 123, 121, 122, 122 (Avg. 122 ms) I've never had any problems since I started working with this DSL (Upstream 1024 / Downstream 8192 - Garanteed minimum downstream 2048)

Let's see, out of my head so there may have been some changes..... - Xoomtrade (You have to call and discuss) - MyTrack - ProTradingsystems - Lime - Daytradz And I'm sure there are many many more. It depends on your requirements (retail, pro, prop) and your commissions (per share /...

Yes, For some years, constant making money. Some negative trades, but overall very satisfied :D Don't add to a losing spread, look at the trend of the spread. Good chance your trading against it.....

Doesn't a market order take preference over a limit order ? Maybe this happened...

There's a second point in working with long term call options in stead of the stocks and that's the time decay... I'm buying ITM puts to pay as less expectation value as possible. If I would work with call options in stead of the stock, the dividend would have to ofset bot the time decay in...

Call options don't receive dividend (as far as I know dividend goes to the holder of the stock), You would have to exercise your right before the dividend date.

This would be the right time for this strategy. 1. Volatility is low so option prices are low. 2. We are in a bull market so put options are even more at a discount. I've found some stock of which I could buy a 1year put (jan05) for the same price or only a few cents more than last paid...

No, I would be long the stock and LONG the put. I expect the dividends to offset the costs of my put, but if there's no dividend, I still have an insured stock position. Edit.... I just saw I typed short put in my first message, this should be LONG put.:)

In that case, you still would have a trade with an unlimited up potential within the time frame of the put option.

I was looking for some more info on option strategies when I came upon this one. Could be interesting for a longer term investment. In this times of low volatility, prices for options are relative low. If we can find a stock with a high dividend, would it be possible to create this strategie...

Thanks Don :cool:

I don't think it supports multimonitors :mad: I switched to eSignal and they support multimonitors :) Data quality : I hope Quote has improved, because it was bad when I used it. This will also give me a chance to have a backup for eSignal. :p

Don't use indicators on these stocks. TA is based on the thought that human nature repeats itself. With only a short history, you cannot see any repetitions. Only valuable information could be volume ??? (rising in the direction of the trend, but I doubt, because new stocks need some time...

Also a stop-limit order will become an active order and will execute depending on your limit price. If you had a stop limit with a stop price of $9 and a limit of $7.50 it will become a limit $7.50 order upon opening (because your stop price of $9,- has been crossed) If there are trades >...

But why would he match the order of another ? Why ,if there are 2600 shares offered and there comes a buyer for 800 shares, the MM doesn't take the rest (1800 shares). He doesn't lift the offer that way. He only joins at the same price.

I cannot imagine a MM getting long on a double print of 100 shares...... I think double prints are simply 2 orders that are matched within the same second and with the same quantity. The way I look at T/S is like this : 1. Look at the trade flow. (If there are only trades on the BID...

When I tried to place an order late friday afternoon, TWS gave me the message that the order would not be placed at the exchange until a certain date / time. Don't know the exact date / time, but my guess is that the ECBOT didn't accept stops because of the holidays... I was able to trade...
