IB down again. This is great.

You can also use the Restore settings on TWS and choose the day :)

At this rate, looks like they won't have it fixed before 4:00. The webtrader works a bit though so anyone with existing positions can check or close out from there. I was able to close out some impt positions.

I thought I was the only one having problems. I went and bought RB, heard and ding and my account went blank. Nice. Gotta love IB :D I'm doing so well today, I knew IB would do something to F it up for me.

My parents actually has a business in the Philippines. But hey, a perve like you sees things quite differently I'm sure. I'm 30 years old actually. I don't consider myself that old just yet. Anyways, I'm unsubscribing from this thread, ET breeds retards like you faster than mosquitoes breed...

Lol. So how's life in the mountains of Alabama, Mr. Flag-waving-bible-thumping-tobacco-chewing hillbilly? I left the US last year and now spend time between Singapore and Philippines. I guess making $120k-$150k a year the past few years puts me in the lower end of the economic ladder. But...

The way I see it, as soon as Turkey invades, crude will drop like a rock.

we could end up green today and that will be very bullish if that reversal happens.

I just had to bring this discussion up... *bump* to the OP, so how goes the shorting strategy?

Not an investment, it's a gamble. Sometimes, you just have to take advantage of the bubbles you see without betting your life's earnings is how I see it. If I lose $10k by next year, I'm not gonna cry about it. The potential risk/reward is too great in my opinion.

In for 1000 @ 11 - It's a pure gamble. If it goes to zero, oh well... But I'll hold on to this until: 1) I die 2) It goes to 100+ :D 3) Or it goes to 0 rock and roll!:cool:

My previous experience will attest to phantom orders being executed. I've had this happen multiple times. Orders I have clearly cancelled only to execute up to HOURS later. I've talked to them about it but nothing ever comes out of it. Fortunately for me, they're usually 1 lots and haven't been...

I would agree. Plus, the past 2 trading sessions, we saw a strong sell off only to see market rally strong to almost form a hammer. This thought is what kept me from going full on short this market today.

On the surface with the sudden big moves, it looked easy but today was very difficult to trade. In fact, for me, the entire week was really difficult to trade. Too many headfakes on S/R that I thought would hold and false breakouts. I started the morning down $2400 but fought my way back to...

Before today, I would have something to contribute but apparently, I don't know how to trade the HSI after getting cornholed for $3k+ in about 15 minutes. I'm done with the HSI. Vegas is a lot more fun when I'm getting screwed.:mad:

I shorted one contract here at $87.00. Got about 2 more contracts I can add to my shorts with a stop at $90.50. This upward move is ridiculous. Lots of speculation and not a whole lot of fundamentals behind it.

Great article. I also think this recent Crude move is excessive, I don't think it's sustainable in the long run.

Same here.

:D Lots of shorts praying to the trading gods to bail them out.

Chart trading doesn't have the ease of a DOM though, or am I wrong unless there's a DOM built into the chart trader. Everything else was great though. I was disappointed I had to pay for the static SDOM because of the TT license. They should never have caved in to TT.
