I still think the restrictions on ECN quotes is a more serious problem. There are work arounds for the PDT rules. There are none that I can think of for the lack of quotes on ECNs. Just my humble opinion. :mad: <= my opinion of the SEC

Three quick longs today. Canceled the rest of my longs because I was afraid something was wrong when I got these 3 so quick. Nothing was really wrong, missed a couple of nice fills as it turns out. Sigh... MAY -.14 a quick drop gets me every time. KR +.03 ... see above MON...

2 fills long today PEP 0.00 .. got in, went against me, came back.. got out even ACN +.28, got all there was there.

Bone, OK, probably not a good example. I am figuring that the volatility spike is what you are referring to as making Just 21 golden Let's say that COF slowly grinds to 25 by mid December. Then it seems any hiccup to the down side exposes Just 21 to a potential obligation of between 1.00...

Just 21, I have a question. If I am understanding this correctly, you have a net credit of .75 at this time. Yet you stand to lose 1.00 for every point that COF closes under 25 on Dec 20. Up to a limit of 5.00. That seems to be a small reward for a sizable risk. I mean it certainly...

4 shorts this morning.. THC short.. -.05, gave it up almost as soon as I got it. Had a wide envelope on it, but it didn't look like it was going to go down at all. Glad I lost it when I did. HRB.. -.30, had a modest profit on it, and had a buy in to cover, but it started heading up, and...

FWIW, I think that this inhibition of the ECNs is a MUCH bigger problem that the PDT rules. Even though I am near certain that it is a monumental waste of time, I will also make the effort to lend my voice to effort to rescind these regulations. Excellent letter Julie. I will plagiarize...

DANG IT..!! I KNEW that was what was happening all along. They have been stealing my stratagies. No wonder I can't make a dime in the market....!! :p

I like IB.... I love IB.... IB made it possible for me to (attempt to) learn to trade without going broke. Prop firm is slightly better... IB is by far the next best thing.

Not posting much lately. I have been busy working on my opening orders entry system, opening order criteria, some longer term trades, and some options. Plus I have been setting up and getting used to the new E-signal. It seems pretty good so far, but there is a lot there to learn. I...

I got a piece of spam today concerning something called Firetrader. (Firetrader.com) Looks like another pay to play the plays chatroom. Anybody know who these folks are or anything about this chatroom? Is THIS one the holy grail? :confused:

Nov 71.5 calls.. ????? :confused:

I took THC long at the close at 14.90. Protected it with a 15.00 Nov put. Looking for a quick bounce early next week. 3 or 4 points ought to do it.

Better day today. Got AZN short again.. got rid of it again fairly quickly too. Next time it gets an even wider envelope. :D Short AZN -.20 Long SWY -.20, it had news, I widened the envelope significantly, got it anyway. Wide envelope or not, it went down initially. Could have...

I think Thoughtful Fog is me under another alias. :D

Just got my size "C" Aeron delivered yesterday. Bought it on Ebay for $590. Dang near brand new. I used a knee chair a few years back, and I felt it helped me sit all day doing CAD work. I also have an Inversion Table. It helped with my bad back until I carried a bunch of big monitors...

Chuck_T, I have been using the new e-signal for a few days now. I can say that I am pleased so far. The price filter does indeed address my concern about bad ticks messing up the charts. Maybe, at LONG last, I can get rid of that POS Qcharts. (great charting, lousy reliability) One...

Baron, Can you PLEASE fix the "mark all threads read" problem. PLEASE..! Every time I go to post a reply to a thread and go back to the forums... THEY ARE INVARIABLY MARKED "ALL READ". Thank you,

Well.. we've hit a pothole on the road to success. Yesterday, I had LLL short and got +.55... so far.. so good.. I also had FRE long.. it bobbled around for several minutes.. looked like it was going a bit higher.... maybe... Then just as I put a sell in for about +.15 or so... poof...

2 fills this morning. short LMT, +.15 went my way for about +.40, then started backing up. Good thing I took my small bit and ran.. long HOT.. +.40 eventually went higher, but I can't complain.
