This is not livable. What the hell has happened recently?

Thanks!

Is it even possible to run a backtest on the 4000 nasdaq stocks? For example, how about running a backtest to test shorting any stock over this past year that was up 5 consecutive days in a row? (this is just an example, not something I suggest you try at home)....I would like to know...

I've spent the last year working on a spreadsheet that calculates the enterprise value of 2200 nasdaq stocks (the other 1800 nasdaq stocks are too illiquid to bother)... My speadsheet has several columns: Ticker, PS Ratio PE 2003 PE 2004 PE 2005 Projected EPS Growth 2003 - 2004...

Anyone know of a reliable resource where I can find the enterprise value of companies quickly? For years I've been doing it myself, but with each quarterly report, enterprise value changes a bit, and I'm tired of entering all the data into my spreadsheet program... Anyone?

Cramer called for massive melt-up at the EXACT top. No matter how he spins it, he was DEAD WRONG again.

IB was up and down and up and down the entire after-hours session tonight, but I'm wondering whether it's me. I tried to update TWS to get the latest version, and I'm getting an error upon installation: "An I/O error occured when installing a file. This is normally caused by bad installation...

I've had trouble EVERYWHERE with outages ... I have had so LITTLE trouble with IB until very recently ... Reliability has been so much better at IB than E*Trash/Ameritrash/Datek/Merrill Lynch, all of which I have had experience with...in fact, it's an insult to even compare IB with those...

Third time today :(

Actually, this is the 2nd time today it's happened, and the 3rd time in the last 24 hours....

My connection to TWS has been down for 20 minutes, closed it, tried logging in again, won't let me.....second day in a row that I've had trouble...anyone else?

Simply put, all we need to know about where the market is headed is that Cramer called for a serious rise in the market, at least another 1000 points on the Dow, last weekend. That's ALL you need to know about how your portfolio should be positioned. ---------- I'm going short 100%...

:) !!

I'm happy with the answers I've received, not only from def, but from the other participants on this board....the fact is, sometimes it seems almost uncanny at how ill-timed my orders can be, as if someone was simply working exactly against me....so, this has been a question that has lingered in...

Anyone else having trouble?

Anyone else having trouble?

Does IB trade against our orders or otherwise sell/share/use information about what kinds of positions we are taking? If not, do the Nasdaq market makers, in general, trade against any order that they perceive as being "retail," and if so, how do they know it's a retail order (I normally use...

What are you saying? The open is going to move back an hour?

I see ARCX flashing size on and off on all the nasdaq stocks I trade. Both on the bid and the ask, always the best bid/ask. It seems like ARCX is the major player in almost every stock now. What is the deal with ARCX, are they the hedge funds favorite ECN now, and why the flashy thing?

Traders, daytraders, are coming back to the markets in droves. This is the bubble days all over again, and the trading firms are going to have to compete for business again. IB has been making good dime off us for 3 bearish years, having no need to cut commissions. Given the growth at...
