My order entry dialog has an "Accept" button and a "Submit" button. I'm running TWS standalone 981. "Accept" is what I always use, which puts it on the screen and gives me a transmit button for when I'm ready to pull the trigger.

I've always felt like it's best to do what you want and not push it. I love trading as well and since it's such a positive thing in my life I've never wanted to force myself to do it when my head/heart just wasn't feeling it. Having gone through stretches like you are experiencing now, my best...

Are these one of the laws we're going to choose to care about and enforce?

I just think it's hilarious the giant sets of balls that suddenly appear when something bounces 10% off the low. Best of luck to you guys but I personally wouldn't own this shit if it was free right now.

I read his book. I agree with most of what he's saying except for two issues; income inequality and China. I don't feel like he's looking at income inequality in a way that's meaningful to the broader economy. There are lots of metrics here, but to be very brief... our poor people are fat and...

prolly nothing....

I subscribed for years then they started tilting way too far left and I stopped. I just wanted pure economic analysis - the dry wonky stuff, not a bunch of woke signaling editorial content. It was really good years ago, but not today.

It would seem that the latest implementation of the "give people government cash not to work" model didn't fare well at all.

A huge number of border crossings these days are actually people from Venezuela and other places that are further down the well of never ending socialist promises that resulted in the very things their leaders perpetually promised to eradicate. Many of these folks have learned from the issues...

I don't trade stocks any more... but when I did... I had the power to buy the top, short the bottom and reverse the most powerful rallies with a single trade. I lost more money more times than you will ever have. The power I held over the markets was epic. If I had shorted TWTR when you made...

That's the most hilarious thing I've read in a long time. Thanks for that.

I don't trade the way you do, so it's impossible for me to say anything has changed with regard to what you're seeing. I will say that their algorithm definitely changes from time to time in terms of how margin is applied to a wide variety of scenarios. Some of it seems to be based on a...

LOL.

Even if you block him long ago - like I did, you still see his worthless garbage littering the front page. He posts bullshit and then never comes back and just starts even more threads constantly. The ignore function needs to be more robust.

As QED mentioned, there are IB folks here from time to time - at least one or two are well placed and in a position to address any legitimate issues at any level. The phone can be quite valuable depending on your account status. With certain categories of customer accounts you are provided a...

Prolly nothing.

But to answer your question closer to home... Countries don't really work like a family (in every way) in terms of finance. It's rare for a country to ever be "free and clear" of all debt. The best measure of the level of debt is not the giant number that gets all the attention - but that...

Ray Dalio also has a book called "Principles for dealing with the new world order" if you are looking for a more in depth explanation - beyond the 30 minute video Baron suggested. Although I'm about half way through the book I wonder if he couldn't have covered all of this in 30 minutes. He...

Thanks Nobert!

I have (perhaps) a dumb question. What the hell is a "stonk"? I always kinda thought that's what the children called stocks, but now I'm not sure.
