I don't think I have ever bought in the premarket. I have sold in the premarket after holding overnight. One of my best all time trades I made $2600 selling BYND after it gapped up. A half hour later it was in decline and by the bell it was down about $15 so I was pretty happy and very glad I...

IB can't prevent you from taking a screen cap. Just hit the PrtScr key. For a specific area, try SHIFT + PrtScr then click and drag to select the area. Assuming you are using Linux or WinDOHs. If you can see it, you can save it.

Thanks. I'm out until I have all three day trades available. I think Tuesday.

Last year I was with IB and ran TWS on Ubuntu 16.04 on a cheap and crappy Dell Laptop and never had any problems. I liked it well enough, I just like the charts on TradingView better and IB and TradingView cannot see eye to eye on how to implement an interface.

Yeah it looks like a good time to dust off the bear playbook for a bit. And you are probably right about the temporary. You know, the '29 crash had a couple of pullbacks and rallies before the final plunge. If it doesn't gap up nicely tonight then TSLA is going down, and wow look at TQQQ. Same...

You could use IB's API in Python to pull data into a file and then open it in OpenOffice. Unfortunately most brokerages are VERY winDOHs centric. And so they do not understand why one might want to use some tool other than a Microsoft product. Be glad that at least IB's platform runs nicely on...

Well I thought I had it figured out but apparently not. Yeah the NASDAQ certainly looked like it was locked into sort of a pattern. I think it is going to be very chaotic the next few days, though. All the widdle babies running around crying about how the bigger kids took all their marbles, and...

Flashmob trading?

Yeah I know, right? Showed up on my scanner yesterday. Nice flagpole today in the post market... about 15% there in 15 minutes? Woulda been nice to have had some shares of that in the bag.

That is a very good shoulda and of course you are right, but I was thinking the opposite at the time, that it would probably go up just before market close due to Millenial FOMO, and that in the morning it would retrace and then go up up up. I was wrong on both counts. I only had one day trade...

Remember that MA crosses, like any indicator, are indicators and not predictors. If you wait for a MA cross and buy, and due to micro price action and spread, start out with a small loss, and then the price drops (before the MA crosses back!) you can slowly bleed to death playing MA crosses...

It certainly can, yes.

Meh. Stopped out, -$100. TQQQ looked like it was gonna rally a bit. Stopped out on that for -$20. Deal me out. Live and trade another day. Friday evening I stood at $8108. Yesterday afternoon I cleared the table and had $8218 to show for it. Last night I ended up at $8078 and this morning $8089...

Print her up a nice old fashioned stock certificate.

No sweat. I won't even see his advice anymore.

Actually, good idea. But I used Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V in Gedit. But maybe you actually meant Alt+PrtScr? Shift+PrtScr lets you select an area to copy. At least in Linux it does, and WinDOHs mostly copies Linux/Unix for stuff like that. Still, thanks for reminding me it is better to...

You realize of course, that only subscribers can read the article?

Might as well, yeah. But don't worry. I promise to not take all your money. I'm doing what I wanna do. And BTW I AM doing better things. But I'm doing this, too. <EDIT> And BTW, how many shares would YOU have bought, with an $8200 account? I took all the risk I thought I could afford to take at...

Go Baby, GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I wanna see $1800 tomorrow afternoon!

ROTFL! Okay, I guess I will see what the morning brings.
