I don't get Reuters through IB but I'm sure it is probably the same or very similar as what I have. I get it through Quotecenter. It does show "alert" headlines as you asked. They are usually quick one line captions after a major release or some breaking news and are highlighted differently than...

Thoughts on last night's episode: Laetitia goes to Paris for an interview. Gets a job offer on the spot and doesn't take it because... the hours are too long??? She wants to work in finance but is not sure about the workload? That schedule seems pretty light compared to some investment...

Be careful... Karma can be a bitch sometimes.

Thanks for the link. My question is simply WTF was MF Global thinking with this guy??? This whole story is so hard to believe. What exactly was his "job" there in the first place? This guy makes Tunica, MS look bad and that is saying _a lot_.

I get it through Quotecenter. I did a test today and MarketWatch won again. I'll check out your thread. Quotecenter is pretty decent overall but they could really make it much better with some tweaks.

When Refco went bankrupt all futures accounts were untouched and did not lose any money. I was one of the fortunate ones who only had a futures account with Refco. However, the Skadden bankruptcy attorneys made an asset grab for everything else and some here can remind you how much they got...

Just out of curiousity, why 27 minutes? Is it just an arbitrary number or is there any specific reasoning. I understand if the reasoning is "top secret" but thought I would ask anyway :). Thanks.

Boy, these shorting "losses" are really starting to add up. Great call OP.

One other thing... -21% is something you can easily recover from and is not the end of the world. However, if you start going wild trying to recoup what you lost you'll be amazed at how fast -21% can turn into -50%+.

If you don't understand why you are taking these losses and are not comfortable with your approach then take a step back and do not trade until you have a clear head. If that means taking the whole month off I would do it if I were you. The worst thing you can do is start increasing your...

I was wondering why I hadn't seen any of his threads popping up. I didn't see this until just now. Hallelujah! Someone finally got through to him. :D

There is always Excel.

Could be any day now. They seem to drop a rate cut on the market based on any old thing these days. I'm surprised they didn't lower rates when that guy blew 142m in wheat last week. Oh wait, I forgot, it takes at least a 7 billion loss from a rogue trader to justify a unscheduled rate cut...

Well, I gave it some thought but thanks for your opinion on the matter. Since the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional in the first place I guess anything is possible, including replacing Helicopter Ben mid-term or scraping the whole system altogether. There, I feel much better now :cool:.

Ha ha. Glad you like it. I'm not a huge fan of Seykota but I see truth in it based on my personal experience. To each his own though.

Well, gotta pull out the famous Ed Seykota quote "everyone gets what they want from the markets ". Day7793 wants to find things to bitch and complain about and the market happily accommodates him day after day. I don't think this will change for him unless he wants it to. edit: I am not...

Ok, thanks. I haven't used c2 very much other than a casual look. I'll look for it now.

I am short YM also but my timescale is a little longer than a day trade. I can understand the concern though. Being short these past few weeks in the afternoon has not been very fun with the whipsaw action.

Choppy? What are you trading? My chart of S&P 500 from last night is straight down.

No, I'm asking can he be replaced in mid-term, not when his term is up in 2010.
