As a follow-up to my last post, I'm pleased with how Mirus handled the situation. They followed through on their word to call me back to let me know that everything was running smoothly on their end, and I traded well without incident the rest of the day. In the past 3 years of trading in...

Looking forward to the pic of your caddie!:D

How do you know? Maybe I'm a lesbian? :p

Nice catch, Joab!! I understand why those fish mouths are so wide open! :eek: :p

Looks like a good ol' fashioned late afternoon short squeeze to me. Hope you're in shape, Wild Bill, becaues you're gonna need to squeeze hard to keep your sh_t together. :p

Bill, did you formerly work in the Clinton Administration PR department? The audacity of your spin when the ball loses (which isn't often, admittedly) is reminiscent of White House politics in the 90s. :D Oh, I know....you say things like that just to get responses from us like this!

In my discussions with Mirus about this problem, here is what they explained to me: "Normally the Globex B channel sends identical data as the A channel and can be used during high volume periods to make sure all ticks are captured. Monday, Globex's B channel sent huge microbursts of data...

If today's SPX close of 1252.31 is never again broken on a daily close, do you all realize that by making so much fun of him, you're going to have to kneel at his altar for perpetuity?! :D

Yes, it appears that that is exactly what happened. Orders were going through NT/Mirus/Dorman to the exchange, but no confirmations were coming back to our NT DOMs. Thus, when I tried to move an exit order, it had already closed my position, and what I was in fact doing was entering a new...

Lest this thread be considered just a promo for Mirus, today I had my first technical problem with them that I can recall. A little after 10am EST, I entered a limit order for 10 ES. Shortly thereafter, I tried to cancel it, but could not. While I was calling the Mirus trade desk, the order...

Hey Joab, I thought I read somewhere that you're in Canada. So why do you care about our coming $trillion deficit? You gloating about how much you'll be able to buy in the US with your Loonies?

I guess I wasn't awake yet after a long July 4th night. When I wrote "standard distribution" above, I of course meant the statistical term "standard deviation". :)

I think the above two sentences was the key to that insightful quote. When looking at trading methods where reward exceeds risk considerably and with a low win rate, they are dependent on events which occur much less fequently, and therefore with much less consistency to past results (at least...

Been trading every day with Mirus for about 2 years now. Very happy with their service, support and reliability of Zenfire datafeed for NT. I've used Tradestation, Transact+Trademaven & PFG over the years, and Mirus/NT/ZF is by far the most reliable of the trading platforms/datafeeds that...

LOL.....here is TS' message to customers after today's problems. Fortunately, I had NT/ZF up at the same time, and it ran smooth as a whistle while TS was frozen for almost 30 minutes this morning (after that 50k+ 1min volume spike on the ES at 9:49 EDT this morning): "The TradeStation data...

In running TS auto-trade strategies, I have seen it execute 99% of the time flawlessly on both limit order exits and stop loss market orders. And then every once in a rare while something random happens (like a double order entered, or stop not executing properly). I have always watched the...

Nah......this thread's a piker. Try the ES Journal at 6660 pages and still going. The AHG thread went to well over 1000 pages as well (and had really beneficial content), but it was closed down by the OP.

So what's the "ball" been up to during this roller coaster ride today?

Best laugh I've had all day......this is the kind of dialogue we live for in this thread (with some decent market calls along the way). So take that, Amaryllis if you're still hanging around this locker room. P.S. One heck of a good call this afternoon. P.P.S. I see that the "ball" is...

What a joke.....nobody trades the NDX. So you're #1 amongst nobody. Now, get #1 on NQ trading or ES trading, and that would be deserving of respect (at least as far as showing the ability to appeal to Google's search engine). Just another desperate attempt for attention. What's...
