    Are You Missing the Pending Page on TWS? I am... duh

    I downloaded/installed the latest version before market open this am and my pending page is there and working. Just checked it by placing a buy NQ order at 1502 - went to pending and the order was there - live. You might want to try another install.

    I get a feeling that it won't be that many trades without the use of stops - to resolve this. best regards, plum

    This is intolerable

    Learn one setup and trade nothing but that one setup - trade it inside and out - til the cows come home. Always use a protective stop. Learn it inside and out. Then add another setup. You could always use two accounts - one for swing trading and one to explore daytrading. Good luck!

    Any traders with ADD/ADHD?

    I used to have that ADD or at least something similar - then I got old and tired and said the heck with it.

    New Computer-follow up

    Arnie, I don't know how close you are to best buy stores but they have 19 in. viewsonic CRT flatscreen monitor (ultrabrite A90f+) for $229 - not a bad buy for a pretty nice monitor. Before the lcd's became prevalent these viewsonics were selling for around 500 bux if memory serves me correctly.

    New Computer-follow up

    You can do it !!! Just pay close attention to instructions. Be as sure as you can be that all of the wires that you hook up are in their proper places before the first power up. Try not to let the smoke out of the motherboard. Once you let the smoke out they don't wanna do right. :D...

    Here We Go Again with IB

    lost it three times this afternoon here in the southeast - around 1:40pm est lost some coin too but not because of the disconnects - but rather because *I was* on the *wrong* side of the market. Stops were honored though :)

    Server vs PC for trading

    I'd venture to say that you are most likely getting there real fast, quick and in a hurry. Equivalent to a top fueler doing 330 mph down that short little ole 1/4 mile dragstrip. I'll bet that you are hooking up quite nicely. Actually borderline hitting on sinister! What the hell was that? I...

    There´s competition out there...

    Good then, so if "They" - (see: NoMoreOptions) can move the market - I'd like to know what "They" plan to do next. I wouldn't mind riding it with them. Sorry, but I don't look at this as being competition. :) But then I'm not an arbitrage quantitive player anyway, so let em rip.

    seems like the short everybody has been

    Biotechs can sometimes pay off very well - but they can also sometimes be a wild ride. I've scoped a few out before but never been a big player. (but for that matter I've never been a big player) I played AMGN and HGSI (small share lots) a few times a few years ago - does that count? :)...

    seems like the short everybody has been

    I have no interest in this stock whatsoever might actually be a lie on my part...lol...you got me looking at it now. All I know is that I have had to dig plenty of arrows out of my back trying to be a pioneer - as a result of all those arrows, more often than not I now attempt to time my...
