If you folks think there is going to be a discernible bottom I suggest you go out and renew your subcription to Forbes or some such publication. Yes, we might have some type of Summer Rally or Pop of some type, but this market is going to grind sideways for years. And I mean years. At least...

IB is the logical route but their downtime and other assorted glitches lately is so bad that I am now literally placing stops before I place the primary order.(Dangerous also because your stop could get filled without you getting the primary order placed if they freeze up). I have heard a lot of...

Jeez I hate to even think of this word and it, well, it begins with a J, it's only three letters long and I have spotted you two of them. But it sounds like this may not conducive to your South Florida buddies, so how about you guys pooling your expertise and heartaches and putting together a...

I think for an account with a smaller balance you are doing just fine Jboyd. HOWEVER you are letting some trades get away from you. Your account would now be arount 4400.00 if you didn't allow these loose stops or whatever. I trade the es with a stop of seven ticks (87.50) special situations...

Bronks and others I am really enjoying this E-mini Rookie Trading Journal, but I've been away for awhile and was wondering what ever happened to Hitman and his trading journal at a proprietary firm? Did he finally Blow UP or what happened to him?

This outfit is bad news, period. I had a problem with them yesterday that cost me at least $800.00 and today I am short two nq's going into the close and they freeze up on Globex again. I call them and they don't even know they are down on Globex they are so busy working crossword puzzles and...

Out of curiosity whatever happened to the infamous Mrs. D?:cool:

After two months of following your postings and sometimes being critical of you, but praying for you after the WTC tragedy and enquiring of your safety on these pages, I feel I may have a solution for you, and I do not mean this maliscously, QUIT WRITING THIS INTROSPECTIVE JOURNAL. Concentrate...

CAVEAT EMPTOR:cool:

Does anyone know what the IB symbol is for the Nasdaq Composite?:p

Somethings the matter. They contacted me by phone two days ago alerting me that the basic subscription goes up to $25.00 next month and a "deal" if I went for one year. I think it is basically a good site but $25, is probably stretching it. A lot of hindsight at this site and with new...

Has these regular posters been in touch with anyone or made posting on Boards?

I don't think New York Financial markets can re-open until Monday and maybe Friday at the earliest. The Chicago jockeys are going to have limited futures openings tomorrow. And the options are going to be open tomorrow. I think EVERYONE should have waited until Monday so the whole situation can...

I think IB and every other financial institution in the United States is going to be just fine.

Thanks tymjr I think the single stock futures are going to be awesome with massive volume. And am well aware of the new mini's coming on stream at a/c/e-Eurex. Eventually feel the NYSE and NASD will be very sorry they came up with the "Pattern Day Trader" scheme. This is nothing more then a...

Monday Sept. 10, A.P. Manhattan Bureau:Mary Jo White,N.Y.Southern District Asst. United States Attorney has announced the most sweeping arrests and conspiracy charges for securities fraud in U.S. history this AM. Seventy Eight people have been charged, fifty seven apprehened so far. Sue Herera...

Babak Don't take me literally! Futures are going to be great also(single stock)!:cool:

Airspeed Hyperfeed?

Michaelday Don't worry in about six months were ALL going to be trading futures as the volume and action migrates over to single stock futures, particularly in the Intc's, csco, aol's etc. The volume will astronomical in these contracts. For example on Friday lets say only 20% of Cisco's...

Too bad the kid will never be able to trade for real with all the newer "rules" that certainly will come on the heels of "Pattern Day Trader rules".:( Surprised he hasn't been jailed already.
