IB system back up at 8:05 in Chicago

System also down here in Chicago......The "System Status" message on the IB website doesn't offer me a lot of hope that there are any great minds working on the problem.....The status message states: "Some client may experienced problems logging in. We are aware of the situation and is...

I can only think of 2 ways: 1. If your method has no edge. (As a trader, it's your job to KNOW if your method has an edge. I think Mark Douglas said: If you don't know what your edge is, you don't have one) 2. Assuming you DO have a method with a proven edge, the only other way to go...

For a trader, there is certainly nothing wrong with being wrong. But, with all due respect, there is EVERYTHING wrong with STAYING wrong. Now, CAT may fall like a brick from here for all I know, but I see a short postion that started with the stock around $66, and it's currently about 7 points...

a. Most Wall Street managers are still vastly overpaid vs. their value-added to their firms. b. The firm mentioned in this story has a pretty crappy risk measurement system in place.

I fixed it. Opened the Registry Editor and deleted all references to IB and or TWC. Then reinstalled with no problem. Thanks to those who responded.

Help!.....Def!.....Or, anyone else out there who knows how to handle this: I tried to launch my standalone (windows) TWS, and nothing happened. No login window, no anything. I clicked on the icon and got the "hourglass" for a few seconds, then nothing. After trying several standard "fixes", I...

This definitely wins the prize as the most stupid thing I have read to date at this site......This kind of statement is what gives even the best forums/chat boards bad reputations.

Any help would be appreciated.... My alerts have suddenly stopped sending e-mails. I have triple- checked the setup criteria (address, SMTP host info,etc.) and the email button is "checked" when I set up an alert, but the email never gets sent. I am able to send other emails using the...

Stand behind me, and I'll give you some vapors that will singe the hair off of your knuckles! :p

Hey, I totally agree with you on this. I wish you had started this issue with that statement. The key word is SUCCESSFUL. That is the mindset that I think this thread originally was trying to capture. Success is a state of mind and a way of life, not an isolated tangible accomplishment. It is...

Hey Tampa, This may shock you, but despite our earlier debate, I actually agree with almost everything you said here. Listen, I came from an impoverished background, and lost my mom at an early age. So I do know a bit about adversity away from the playing field. Anyway, sports was my outlet...

I'm not going to get into actual $$, but my account is up 128% YTD. I also think that just mentioning your profit alone is meaningless without mentioning your worst YTD drawdown. This is a fair way of assessing how much risk & volatility you incurred while making whatever was your return. My...

I couldnt resist one more post......You are right. I am no longer going to waste time debating with an idiot. At least you recognize that you are an idiot, and are honest enough to admit it in the above statement.

Ok, I'm not going to waste any more time debating this with you. I really don't care what you think of me, because I have accomplished every goal I have set for myself in life, and I am quite happy & content. You, however, sound like a very bitter person who has experienced much failure in...

When I first read this, I thought "I guess I know who was always picked last in your neighborhood 'pickup' games when you were a kid". But then it occurred to me that it surely wasn't you, because I'm sure you never even had the balls to show up. Your statement is one of the more moronic...

No, but I've snorted an Underall or two.....

AGREED!!!! "Rap Music"...the ultimate oxymoron.....Thank God my teenage son hates it, too.....

Hey, I may personally prefer Beethoven and/or Mozart, but if I met a college girl that thought Bach was IT, I'd be first in line to offer her a special "Bach Rub"! :D :eek: :p
