I have had my biggest year ever in fixed income. And I have been at since 1995. Granted, I had to cut back size in the last year when VOL became insane. But for a momentum trader taking out 7 ticks or so in the ZN ---great market. I have been asking around about the block order entry for...

one would think we would get an update on the CME page. Globex is pretty damn stable these days. I remember back in the 90's when it would go down all the time. ECbot was horrible toward the end. Globex stock index futures are still trading. So something must be going right for them...

I wonder if CME is going to re-open before the 1:15 eastern Globex shutdown?

The price of Natural Gas is more important. IMO commodities (are right here?) will bottom. As long as Oil does not go under like 45 and stay there Russia will be fine. They have been prepared for 50 dollar oil and Natural Gas right here (Nat Gas appears to be bottoming---we have to remember...

Yes, IB. I have not actually called them yet but did do a trouble ticket. A trading friend may have called. I will find out more tommorrow. Interesting to note it never occurs at night only during the day at odd times.

We have seen multiple quick disconnects again today. I have a trouble ticket into IB and they have yet to respond. It is not java ---nor is it windows or hardware specific ---too many different locations and too many different systems.

It seems like something in the US server farms is flicking off and on. It happens for a split second. Since I know a handful of traders seeing the same thing all over the US it must be something with IB.

thanks but none of us have on skype and it is just a quick flick on and off

I have seen a lot of data drops over the past week. It goes from yellow back to green on the lil market data screen thingy. Data goes out and in. It has been doing it a couple times every couple days for a split second or so. Then it comes back perfect till the next time. First...

Jack, I am not going to put up any more charts on Ashan's thread discussing other methods or LBR's tricks. The anti pattern has been around a long time in one way shape manner or form. You can google 'LBR Anti'. Or you can buy the book that made it famous to the traders --Street Smarts...

I messed up one thing in the above statement. In regards to the first cross on that last big rally, the market was crosscurrent NOT concurrent. The anti worked brilliantly because the ML was ramping up. The first cross happened from a crosscurrent mode. The market then went concurrent and...

Ok Ashan, two tips for you. Then I will go back to being silent. The first one me and Chick talked about today. ML Velocity-- you may be at a disadvantage by the way your charting the ML. By not looking at the ML in dots/squares or some kind of format that allows you to see how far...

I have found that the ML cycle and the 'velocity' of the current ML cycle determines which first cross or antis are going to work. Let me elaborate. I was trading for a desk in Chicago and a handful of guys (myself included) would get this big spreadsheet from LBR. It would have all...

I am not slamming Linda. If I come across harsh---it is not intended. I know the presentation well. I still have it on tape. And it does present good 3-10-16 patterns. It is a good introduction......just incomplete IMO. Linda will teach you how to read the tape in the stock market and do...

Linda does not know anything about Concurrent or Crosscurrent markets. Nor does she know anything about ML cycles/patterns. Linda is cool and all. But this is not an LBR thread. And I assure you as someone who has traded successfully with with the 3-10-16 since 1995 ( As a private...

Yeah, Timberhill made its nut stop running 3 lot traders on ET.

Nothing wrong with being leveraged to the hilt. I would be lying to say it did not help me make my nut. But IB ain't the broker for that. I would rather them take it conservative. They are conservative for everything ......not just futures. Get another account at Velocity. They are...

lol, this is probably the bottom of the decline........

lil swinging dick, Get a second account at Velocity or someone like that and throw in 5k or 7500 and swing at 500 dollar margin. FWIW, my money feels safer at IB knowing they are NOT letting lil swinging dicks........swing with too much margin. get a second account elsewhere and swing...

yeah, and i like how my old currency conversions show up as active positions with PnL's. The good news is my old USD/JPY trade to convert back to dollars is very profitable.
