    Why do some people have (multiple) aliases in ET?

    The only way that I can think to deal with multiple aliases is to have one person (Baron/moderator) responsible for deleting them as soon as they become known. Members can "report" a suspected alias and if the Dictator(for lack of a better word) agrees, he simply deletes that username. The only...

    IB TWS - pre-existing ES buy stop not executed in a rising market... any insights?

    If you hadn't said that you'd been using TWS stops without any problems before, then I would have suggested the obvious: double checking that your stop order is setup correctly. However, you don't seem to have had any problems previously, so that's probably not the issue here. It would also be a...

    Toughest trade in the world: S & P 500?

    No I did not think you were "recommending" a trade and yes I do use pivots in my trading. Your comment on this mornings action was 'after the fact' and therefor it was easy to see a short trade in retrospect. Your tone (to me) seemed condescending to those that didn't go short or who find it...

    Toughest trade in the world: S & P 500?

    Come on Waggie, I expected better than this. After the fact 'easy' trades do not get any respect whatsoever, no matter the analysis. :(

    Reason why market just tanked

    I would not argue that the market was nervous this am, nor that the news caused a move down. I would argue however that the market "tanked". The action around the news wasn't much different than it had been since the open. I did not see any 50pt Dow drop (or anything close to that) in a matter...

    Retail Firm in Boston

    I believe Bright has an office in Hingham, MA and Echo has an office in Woburn MA. Both are around 10-15miles from downtown Boston. I am not sure if they're still there though, it's been a couple of years since I heard anything.

    Interactive Brok down on number again?

    Do you trade through IB? You represent Transact Futures so why would it be of any concern what the IB platform is doing. Also, I did not have any problems with IB during the FOMC and I didn't see any problems from any other IB users in the chat room today. Perhaps the computer you were using...

    Trader taxes service: Advice please:

    IMO, you should see a good traders Accountant as soon as possible. There may be certain things that are important to do 'before' the 4/15/04 tax deadline for last years taxes (2003), in preparation for this years taxes (2004). If you're going to claim 'Trader Status' for this year, then I...

    Simultaneous Price Changes

    QQQ is the ETF that tracks the Nasdaq 100. SPY is the ETF that tracks the S&P500. ie, they trade almost in unison with the Nasdaq 100 and the S&P500. The Nasdaq 100 and S&P500 are major US stockmarket indexes and as a result trade very much in unison with each other most of the time. Major...

    BSAM The Douglas book was published in Jan 2001, the Kiev book in Feb 2001. He was probably not aware of the Douglas book at the time of publication.

    Once again I'd like to request that you keep this thread on topic. In case you forget, this thread was started by someone looking to hook up with like minded traders in France, nothing more. If you want to start a political thread about France and/or Europe v's USA etc...then please feel free to...

    Tick chart question

    I am assuming that you mean that you would like to know when a new candle is about to appear, ie there have been 237 ticks in a 250tick bar so there are 13 ticks left to go before a new candle starts. If this is the case then all you have to do is have your cursor pointed on the current candle...

    What happened to ES liquidity

    I agree KC. I keep a 10MA of volume on a 1min chart and as a general rule, I won't initiate a trade if the MA is below 1000. This keeps me out of a lot of low volume chop. A year ago, it was normal for the MA to be below 1000 during lunchtime, but rare that it was below 1000 during the...

    A NY financial analyst found in concrete

    I think that she was one of those whiners that was always complaining about Option Specialists and Interactive Brokers.
