It's unfortunate that ET's accepting sponsors from self-promoting individuals rather than established companies that provide services to ETs users. I actually have no problem with Sykes, but I'd rather pay a monthly subscription to use ET ad free than to be subject to Timmy's boldface...

Rearden, Holy smokes dude. I know you're already up ~900k for the year, but these swings are enormous! You're nuts man. All the power to you!

They definitely got the talent for it. Melissa Francis and Trish Regan are the anchors now and they're talking to Margaret Brennan about retail and I can't help but have that tingling in my undercarriage. If they started disrobing while discussing home mortgage meltdowns, I'd be riveted to...

anyone?

Has anyone there filed your trading business under a husband/wife partnership and have set up a retirement plan for each of you? Do you have to have the partnership sponsor the plan, or do each of you set up your own plan as a self-employed individual? I'm being told by Fidelity that you have...

Wow, Gearhead, you basically lost all of your september profits (and then some) in a single day! I'm shocked that, considering how consistently you were making profits over the last couple of months, your system would have such a huge blowup. Did you deviate from your strategy? If so, then...

Great. Thanks again. That makes much more sense.

Thx Coach. I agree it looks horrible, but out of curiosity did I calculate the numbers correctly?

I'm trying to understand the math of selling ES mini futures options. I'm a novice on options & futures in general, so please bear with me. Say I sold a naked sept07 put (1400 strike) on the ES, which is roughly 65pts below the underlying. According to IB it's currently trading at 16.75...

AAA, Let's see. You blame Bernanke for inheriting what has unanimously been called a real estate bubble. You want him to lower rates when inflation is still a big threat, the economy is still growing at a good clip, we're at near full employment, and, most importantly, the dollar has been...

IB fixed the P&L issue with their latest release. Thanks IB! You're SW release process might be a little error prone, but you guys are great at addressing customer reported bugs!

I trade US equities and my system requires that I hold positions overnight until the following close. Most of the time I'm internally hedged because I have a relatively even mix of longs and shorts. But, occasionally I find myself heavy long or heavy short, and I'm trying to find the best way...

I'll take it.... :p

First time posting here. Good day today. Wish everyday could be like this.

I've been informed by IB that they've addressed the issue in v875, of which the standalone version will be released in a week. Thanks IB! You guys rock!

I thought the P&L field was waiting for tick data to get updated, but apparently not. I sat and watched the volume go up on a particular ticker, yet the P&L for that ticker never changed. What's going on IB?!!

Thanks Bob. I upgraded to 874 last week and the P&L update is still really slow for some reason.

This is something that's been consistent of the last few TWS versions. My P&L column is soooo slow to update when I click from page to page. I have to wait a good 30 sec before I can see how I'm doing with each page/strategy. It seems to only do it on pages where I have overnight positions...

This is something that's been consistent of the last few TWS versions. My P&L column is soooo slow to update when I click from page to page. I have to wait a good 30 sec before I can see how I'm doing with each page/strategy. Anyone else encountering this? I'm not sure if TWS is waiting for...

It looks as though it is QuoteTracker's fault. I wait until a few minutes into the open to start it and I no longer have the problem (knock on wood). Thanks to everyone for their input!
