Where can you follow those indices in close to realtime, for those who don't have a Bloomberg ? When do you know HYG and the likes are trading at a discount ?

It has nothing to do with P&G, this was a market crash, 1987 style.

This sounds like PR bull shit, these firms have been targeted by regulators, now that the market crashes because of the 0% interest rates which caused a bubble, they say they have become indispensable.

This isn't electronic markets, it's Bernanke. He ruined the market. Notice how it's done things like that since he got into office. The market is insane.

The market is broken, run away. Interesting you said credit was taking it on the chin in the am, I was short LQD and it didn't start moving until 2:30pm. :confused:

He looked like he was the least crooked of the bunch. As a rule, French executives are likely to be less crooked than their American counterparts . The French have very good schools which produce brilliant students that 's why he ended up at GS. That said, if he looked honest, he looked like...

What's the best way to calculate performance when you make regular withdrawals from your account (and deposits as well) ? My statement shows performance according to various measures (time weighted return ,IRR) but I don't see them as accurate especially since it's calculated over a period...

oh yeah it's real easy , only $200 a day. Everyday, all your life. Like clockwork. You live in lalaland but don't know it yet, that said all of us probably pretty much went trough the same thinking.

Interesting website, looks like there is a great article on how the internet is destroying our lives after being hijacked by corporations.

I didn't make any mistake you idiot. This could have happened to you, and I wish it would. Actually I know it will, only a matter of time with all the updates. The point is not whether I should have known there would be a popup or not or whether I should have know the platform better . I am not...

Didn't we have stable prices throughout the 19th century, without central banks ? There were also periods of deflation I believe and worse than the Great Depression , but not in terms of social impact, meanwhile prices remained affordable for everybody. It's striking that the worst economic...

Pescador, you are right , however I am not sure whether your stop is canceled before your close position order , simultanueously on execution or after it. My point is WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO READ ANY GODDAM POPUP OR MESSAGE when trading . Is that too difficult to understand for IB development...

I repeat AFAIK, there is no way to disable the popup window I am referring to. It asks you to cancel one of your orders before proceeding . As if you would want to cancel your stops BEFORE you are flat. What did I tell you, the people designing TWS are clueless about trading, these people are...

so how do you turn them off then? There are so many popups and more and more of them that I doubt that's even possible to turn them all off.

I know how the software works , I have used it for several months actually, you don't think I am going to trade 30 contracts on the first day with a platform that's getting so many complaints on ET, do you ? I don't think you can turn off those pop ups, and they are not order confirmation pop...

No I don't think so, I would hope an electronic broker has a duty to provide a reliable platform that comes without this kind of traps, this popup window only appears when you use the close position function, not with a regular order, you are not supposed to know every damn possible outcome of...

I have been trading YG ever since this contract was introduced so I know the in and outs of this market. I traded stocks with IB, I ^noticed their stops are not reliable, I am not sure why but a few times they did not trigger and I had to manually close the position. Just those blown stops...

I am new to Interactive Brokers but not to trading. I recently opened an account despite the complaints I read about on ET and elsewhere. I trusted them to offer good executions for serious traders. I never lost so much money with bad executions since I am with IB ! At first , last week after...

Google IS evil. Whether by design or not. This company is doing as much harm if not more, than good. Their mapping of the world complete with cameras and the recording of your searches are only a taste of what^they have in store for us, I try to not use any of their services, they should be...

0% interest rates can't be the only explanation, Japan had zero interest rates and stocks have trended down since 1990, you need something else for a non stop straight up rally like we are seeing. And if the banks bought stocks , how did they know it was going to be free money, who 's...
