agreed....the etf's are the cleanest way to hedge. yes, the volatility has been fantastic.

I believe you'll find that stop limit orders are sent to the ecbot, but simple stop orders are not. It might have changed, so please, let us know if you find it to be different.

Yea, that'll get me to give you a simple strategy to accomplish this. I can see why you have a very slow learning curve. LOL. My suggestion is to: 1) drink another cup of coffee 2) throw something at your monitor and break it 3) start crying 4) call your Dad to borrow more money...

If people don't know how to offset their trades in another market, maybe they should stop trading until they have a proceedure in place, rather than blame outside forces.

Hopefully, all products will be moved to the Globex and they can dump the ecbot. Anyone know for sure and if so, when?

Don, I don't mind them owning half of the project. I think my concern is that the project itself will become a target for the extremist who want to punish both the U.S. and Dubai at the same time. I live in Las Vegas and while I don't want to see any terriost event in the United States...

Yes, it was a great day for him. It only makes sense to put these things into perspective. Most realize that annual performance is usually not a daily collection of money (although it can be), but rather long periods of flat performance followed by hopefully a short period where your strategy...

okay, seems like they would tell you that before you fill out all of the info and they send a token to you.

I just tried to wire out some funds today (Saturday) and after entering my token number, was just re-routed back to the main wiring page again. Is there something that I am missing here or is the wiring of funds function unavailable on the weekend (which would be weird since I did receive...

Yea, it's going to be "too bad" when the telephone is invented and people don't need to be in the same room at the same time for a conference. That will really "screw" up the leaky janitor source.

Good job Corey. I'd sure hate to have been down $80,000 for the month, but I guess it's all relative. That's probably like me being down $8,000. It would still hurt. You deserve kudos for sticking to it.

That sounds about right. On my little 10 fills of 2,000 shares each, I would be up $5,000. That would be no problem with MER, JPM, and CAT. Good going for that trader. It's all relative and depends on the amount of risk one is willing to take.

Don, Can you give us an idea of how many shares that was on? That might help with perspective. Thanks

Here is what was offered in the bootcamp as far as strategies (this was as of about a year ago). 1) Opening orders-some make this work, some don't. You can see the evidence on Don's opening orders thread. 2) Pairs-some make this work, some don't. Other than that, you'll learn how to...

Congrats on the launch. btw, does anyone have any feedback for me on the best resource, tutorials, etc for learning C# for trading purposes? I am messing around with "Ninja" and it seems their wizards are very basic, I'll need much more in-depth knowledge of C# to convert my systems to...

Don, You do take a lot of "flame throwing" on this forum, but whatever they say about you, you do lay your cards on the table. Thanks for the explanation of the charges. Keep wearing that flame retardent vest. LOL

I'm pretty sure that RIG was a larger cap co than DO at the time of the takeover. HLT, one of the largest casino co in the world before being aquired. The reality is simple. You must be well diversified if you even want to try out pairs (20 minimum). 20 pairs is 40 positions. 500 shares...

Do any of you interface with trade station? I am looking at having my systems from trade station give signals to ninja for order delivery onto IB. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.

High on TS was 789.00 not 788.90. You can,also, see the support and resistance that the 50's and even numbers provide. R1 is 788.90, so that's a little resistance, too. Tough break on getting filled, but that's all part of trading. btw: I have low as 782.80. What data feed are you using?

For almost all of my systems, I use 2 ticks and also the other side of the 50's and evens. There are many times when the highs or lows of previous bars are taken out by 1 tick due to noise. For me personally, I always have my exit stops on the other side of the .50's and even numbers as...
