Same here, was looking for a ramp up when I bought 4 contracts at 770 and accidentally doubled my contracts at 771 instead of closing it out. I hate IB sometimes... I should use my ZLT more than IB's interface. Good thing it went to 772+ Alright, this market has been getting a phantom push...

you know, one strategy you can use is to trade around a position. If you shorted 5 contracts of ER2, you can play around with 2 contracts during the day while maintaining a solid short on the 3 contracts.

lynx, I don't have a historical chart of Russell micro vs SPX but do you have a chart that compares the SPX and Russell 2000 micro dating back to 1990? I just want to see when spreads have occurred in the past between the two, how wide, and how long before they converge - if they do.

so VST, why do you even post on this discusson "ER2 has topped?" if you don't care whether it's topped or bottoming? I'm not trying to be a jackass so I apologize if it seems like it. I started this thread to talk about the different trades one can do for ER2 - short term, mid term or long...

seems like a lot of fluff. I opened a short position for 2 contracts 769.50.... I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it hit 770.5 faster than 2 jiggles of a jackrabbit's ass.

Too funny... I was just reading the YM thread and I saw the same writing "style". Why do you people have multiple aliases? one to be an ass and one to be another ass?

VST, what's with the "..."? Yours are the most confusingly composed messages i've ever read. You might have a good point but i didn't even attempt to read your message as it hurts my eyes.

Days like today, I just HATE the YM.

you must realize that in general, as your money increases, it's harder to sustain the same amount of growth as you did with a smaller account.

hey Rip, I just started reading this journal today. Are you net positive across all your account this year so far or net negative?

Easy Cost, i'm not saying I'm richer nor better than you. I'm merely making a factual comment. You could be Warren Buffett and i'd still say the same thing. If you would like to know, I didn't buy THI nor BMA today. I was merely pointing out a fact. Regardless, I hope you and I make plenty...

I don't think the Yahoo quote was incorrect http://www.moneysense.ca/news/ipo/shownews.jsp?content=D8GI1SFO4_ap http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060324/mxf001.html?.v=34 Also, the offering was to raise $210 million with a total of approx 9.7 million shares. They just expect the 121 million of...

i doubt you can go from sales to a trader unless you apply for it once you're inside and know the people. You can make a lot of money doing what you're doing at MS though. I have a friend who works for Prebon (Collin Stewart Tullett) in Singapore but she told me they're hiring globally for...

I think the IPO shares were sold at $20.35 "Banco Macro Bansud, the first Argentine-owned bank to list on Wall Street since the country's crippling 2001-2002 financial crisis, offered 9.7 million American depositary shares outside Argentina, with each ADS representing 10 Class B shares and...

Cost, I could be wrong but I thought the IPO was priced at $20.35? It's trading at approx $23.00 right now. am I missing something? Thanks!

Does anyone know why NKD do not trade like the other US index futures - virtually 24 hours? it kinda irritates me because when im long a position on NKD, and I see it rise afterhours ( in reference to SGXNK ) I can't do anything about it. I can sell SGXNK but then i'll end up being in a...

GOOG added to SP 500! yeah!

what was that split second bounce about? that was nuts.

I think the way ER2 right now is, it's easier for it to daytrade than to swing trade this thing. Also, despite the market hitting new highs, I see a lot of shares, especially ones in the NDX, still lagging behind. When these stocks start to move up (AMAT, INTC, GOOG) it may begin to signal...

I use the chart 100% of the time for my trades. Funny thing is, I hated it the first time I used it because I used to use Metastock + another broker. Since I didn't know I had a choice, I had to tailor the IB chart to my liking but now it's helped me tremendously. I still wish Metastock can...
