for the past 2 weeks i have had 5 or 6 instances where as i enter (ie: click) to buy or sell, TWS freezes. it comes back on its own in 90 seconds or so (ie: doesn't require restarting program. nothing on the computer freezes except TWS. the real bitch is that it DOES send the order. it has...

funny how the OP was wrong on all accounts in this thread title. Hendry is kinda abrasive (not to me so much, but to many), but he's been spot on for a while and always has well constructed opinions. he's one of the few guests on cnbc or bloomberg asia that i keep the volume on for. he...

kinda running a day behind as i've held back my nightly P&L in case i decided to trade the US market during the day. so, this was last night. was ok. traded scared (of course. odd that the only time i'm not trading scared lately is when i'm losing money. seriously, it's like i have some sort...

it's all perspective. at 660 on teh S&P we were factoring in things worse than what occurred. we dropped over 900 points and we've bounced 220. people look at the ridiculous valuations some stocks got to at the bottom and it's hard to envision a return there. so, where is 'rational' for the...

i feel you. though, you were smarter than me. i launched a bottle across the room and missed my target- now have a bottle sized hole in my drywall. unfortunately, i'm out of 'spare' keyboards. pretty much every down $30m+ day saw the demise of a keyboard.... or monitor... or both, or... if you...

i trade a bunch of different markets. actually, it's a bad sign when i trade a lot of markets, as i'm trying to bring my focus back to HK. so, teh 340 is Korean Won, the 88 is JPY (unfortunately, 88m JPY is a lot more than 340m KRW). oh.. and the smallest (-1674) is, sadly, the largest- it's...

it's one thing to lose money thru poor trading, it's quite another to lose it because you're not paying attention. i am always flat when economic data is released and knew the consumer confidence report was hitting at 10am. i was managing a short trade very poorly and added to the position 10...

yep, i've noticed this as well. that, and my confusion as to why sydney is live whilst HKFE (hong kong futures exchange) doesn't even make the 'coming soon'. HK: gateway to china, sydney: gateway to, ummm.... still thinking.... go figure.

it's amazing how you have so much after the fact knowledge (and condescension); but i've never seen you post a trade or a blotter or anything... ever. edit: thought i had you on ignore. problem solved.

any time before 10.2008 this would have been a big day- market was perfect for my strategy. as per my new reality though, second guessing/lack of confidence/cutting my winners WAY short, it was nothing special. really, the only thing special about tonight is that i stuck to my plan of...

this is a horrible and ridiculous comment to make. get a clue.... everyone knows Barney loves jizz so much that he'd NEVER allow it to seep from his mouth to run down his chin. people think that he has a lisp. no... he just walks around all day with the morning jizz...

for a change, it almost seemed like i knew what i was doing tonight. as is always the case these days, that means i was trading small (i only like to ramp up the leverage when i'm losing. that way, i'm able to maintain my stellar record of having my losing days being, on average, 6x greater than...

ironically, following your advice, he will have to ignore everything you said; and, hence, listen to eveyrbody. it's a vicious circle...

being a couple decades your senior (sadly), i'll tell you what i tell every young person i know: time goes by very fast and true 'freedom' opportunities become nearly impossible as you get older, get responsibilities, and get tied to people and places. things you never think of (aging parent...

what i had to go thru to get back to this point is yet another repeat of why i've aged 8 years in the last 6 months (seriously, i'm like a US president after 2 terms!). at least it ended in the black- no thanks to my trading. frankly, i'm lucky i didn't lose 7x this amount. it's cut your...

beating a dead horse, but... you could say the EXACT same thing about myspace a few short years ago. now, if you're active on myspace and over the age of 13, you're either an out of touch loser, a sexual predator, or msnbc trying to catch sexual predators! being active on facebook becomes real...

yeah, and when you were 9, 21 yr olds were spending copious amounts of time in random yahoo chat rooms and building their geocities pages. this ginger daywalker and his board should counter 4.4B and take whatever they come back with and file for an IPO post haste; selling some of his shares...

so, i'm back posting to the P&L thread- well, until my acct is gone, that is. some may recall, i'm the idiot who was dropping $70-100m per day on a consistent basis during Q4 of last year. sorry to say, but i haven't been able to pull myself out of this financial death spiral. figure i'll make a...

ummm... your plan won't work, as it's not possible to bomb a country into the future; and Pakistan is currently in the 4th century BC.

ummm... a stop limit would have been jumped. a stop market would have been a rape that would make Jodie Foster from The Accused feel bad for you. either way you're fucked. just how fucked depends on how far out of whack the position was relative to your acct and/or net worth. and...
