Well that's one way to quell a rally...pull the plug. The deep-pocketed ghost stikes again.

You might come up with a benchmark for yourself if you think of your gains as a "salary". For example, the "average" worker in the US making 100K a year, probably has a net worth of about 500K. So their work is bringing them a 20% annual return. That should probably be the minimum goal...

You can email Glitch (the chief software engineer) and he will answer any questions you have. Here's the address: dion@wealth-lab.com I also use eSignal, and get RT streaming data as well as historical data there; so you don't need a second data provider.

Yes...like front running.

Hmm...as opposed to the (European?) system (How can I make the least money by putting forth the most effort?).

I'll stick with my electro-magnatometer. It works great! Just like the guy in the plaid suit said it would. Now if I could only find some gold with it, instead of all these tin cans... :(

Yep, my TWS went down, too. Always at a critical moment. Must be some crooks with their hands on the switch again. I trust these markets about as far as I can spit...but what's the alternative. Someday these cats will take an extended leave of absence at the zoo, and they'll be trading for...

The simplest way to look and the "when to take a loss question" is to simply forget about the entry price as soon as the position is opened. It's history at that point, and the only thing that matters is the NEXT order you place. For existing positions as well as new positions, the only...

hehe...I thought that sounded a little too good to be true.

You think IB should let me enter an order for 10,000,000 ES then? Maybe I'll try it on Monday. :)

I would suggest that you check out a utility called Casper XP. It makes an exact (bootable) copy of your hard drive. I use it all the time to copy to a backup drive, and I've never had a problem. Here is the C/NET link: http://download.com.com/3000-2248-10161152.html?tag=lst-0-1 And...

Obviously ACE should have a similar "single order max" rule. In fact, there should be a regulation REQUIRING all futures exchanges to have such a rule, to prevent this sort of error-driven chaos. I doubt that a 250 single-order-max on the ES would hamstring very many people. This seems like...

CBOT Probes Big Error in Dow Futures By Ros Krasny CHICAGO (Reuters) - The Chicago Board of Trade, the No. 2 U.S. futures exchange, said it is investigating a huge trading error in its mini Dow Jones futures contract on Thursday that briefly sent the entire U.S. stock market reeling...

I'll be sure and ask you the same question when this happens again and YOU get screwed. And probably add one of these little faces, like... :D

The point is not who made money or lost money. The point is the inability of these exchanges to operate a "fair and orderly" market. If they are unable or unwilling to do that, they should not be licensed to do that.

That's it...that's all. If GLOBEX doesn't bust todays trades in line with the action ACE has taken, I'm moving my business over to ACE where they at least seem willing to correct a problem when they have one. WAY too many screw-ups at GLOBEX in the last few months. Today's fiasco cost me...

New sheets are unprotected by default. Not sure why you need to "keep them unprotected". Could you explain a bit more what you did to create your sheet? saxon

To all you coding illiterates out there, I just received this reply to an email I sent to WealthLab about including a WealthScript "wizard" in a future release. Looks like they're gonna do it!! A major relief for users like me who don't know a bracket from a semi-colin. Thought I...

This is going to be a lonely thread.

ADSL more stable than cable modem?? I doubt it. I have had a cable modem hookup for 2 yrs now (AT&T), and it has gone down maybe 3 times in 2 yrs, usually at night. No experience with ADSL, but all those horror stories...
