To ARCA traders Mon Feb 3 17:41:46 2003 EST Market data for all listed stock on ARCA is now available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Looks like IB are finally making the switch and are now informing us whenever ARCA data IS available.

And we are posting this in the "losing trades" section why?

I bought 100 shares of KO for 40.23. Should I sell?

So is this a patriotic rally now? I think tomorrow will be a selloff in reaction to my dog's digestive problems.

Actually, trading before / after hours is not very different from placing an envelope around a stock at the open. If you are willing to buy on the open for 32.10 and sell at 32.80, why wouldn't you be willing to accept those respective prices before the open?

To all traders Mon Feb 3 08:23:38 2003 EST ARCA TRADING Trading at ARCA is currently unavailable via the TWS for Listed Stocks starting with O - Z, QQQ, and DIA due to a problem at the exchange. We are waiting to hear back from ARCA. Why doesn't that surprise us? Stocks with letters in...

Firstly, if everyone traded the same timeframe and signals, what do you think would happen? I believe we would have HUGE oscillations with a frequency of approximately 20 seconds. Those with fast connections would constantly pick off those trading from overseas or using inferior interfaces...

Just in case anyone has any doubt that humans are just as primitive as other animals, I recommend watching The Jerry Springer Show or CSPAN.

Has anyone here ever witnessed a "patriotic rally". What kind of BS is that supposed to be: "The US just took a hit and it probably won't be good for the economy, so stocks are likely to drop a little, but I want to show my support by pouring some money into the markets!"

Well, the shed in my parents' back yard would be an easier target. But would it be all over the news for hours, possibly days? The fact that this very mission came down right at Palestine, TX is either an indication of terrorism, a sign from God, or quite a huge coincidence.

And we are going to war in Iraq to make the world a happier place.

True. I guess it is the old "being my own enemy" thing... Well, give me another year and a half and I should be humming along nicely without being disturbed by emotions that should not even be related to trading.

Interesting how we have come to trading from the exact opposite direction: I was being taken advantage of big time by my employer, never had any friends, always had too much money (but of course still way too little to be able to afford life in peace), and all I want from trading is to pay the...

Interesting. Was it consistent with an order you had given?

Sorry, I can't help you, but you are not alone. I was raised a catholic and now they want me to convert to Islam. I cannot do that. Any URLs?

Might the CME become the next ARCA? They have started an obnoxious and blatantly moronic ad campaign on CNBC. I don't think that's a particularly good sign...

I was actually fishing for an answer like that. Of course, I could have said it myself, but I don't want to be the only one calling everyone else a moron. On a slightly related note, "01/28 19:20 Comcast Refuses to Air Ads Opposing U.S. War With Iraq, AP Says" But the headline is not...

Looks like you are one of the few who hold this country together as a civilized and humane society. As long as there are more people like you than there are people like me (desperate, frustrated, lonely, cynical) we can be proud of what we have here. But I think every enlightened society has...

Honestly I have not had any contact with and have almost no knowledge of the military, the CIA, and probably a few dozen minor departments, so I can't speak to that. I also agree that even 10% efficiency is never possible with humans. So my figure was based on what you can reasonably expect...

Thanks for the link. I didn't know they were exactly what I'm looking for. At least they say they are. I always thought they were some sort of anarchist/socialist retards. But if you believe what it says on their website they should represent my opinions quite well. Now there is one more...
