Good points... I couldn't beleive Chirac was talking nuke talk...not like him... :D Nick

This is why I think this is a "do or die" situation for the US. If they don't do anything about it now, they will die later. An obvious conclusion I think. Kind of reminds me of the cuban missle crises, the threat then , like today was too great not to act....Hopefully Iran will blink and...

Call me crazy... But I think we were intentionally misled on iraq to prepare "strategically" for a US-Iran confrontation. I mean just look at a map. Iran is now surrounded with us forces. Looks like this nuke crises had been anticipated to me. Nick

I also trade with daily EOD information. I find that the money is made in holding overnight. Nick

I trade ET :D Currently long...

Scottrade should have systems in place to prevent illegal short sales. I would ask for reimbursement or move to another broker.. Nick

Interesting... I would think scottrade would get fined for allowing the trade. Nick

Hi DAV... I didn't know that if you don't check the box, "Use per-contract quantity percentage" it will divide the the basket by dollar amount evenly... This would actually save me time... Thanks Nick

Hi, check out http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60454 I have found that I can not use the basket trader because you have to enter whole %'s . Example, you have to enter 6 % , it wont let you enter 6.66 %. At least I cant do it on my version. I have found a way...

After entering a bunch of short orders and then clearing my page of positions that have zero shares, NGS keeps coming back. I cant get rid of this stock...lol Any one else experience this. this is on build 854.7

Hi, I dont get it... the order doesn't actually go live until you click transmit. You can review the order before you send it, it doesn't just go live. There were plenty of times where I clicked on the bid and TWS created a sell order when I really wanted a buy. The order was created but...

Cause he's the BEST....:D

I agree about re-fillling the order at the original fair price. I don't know why this isn't being done. Nick

Don, I understand and actually would prefer if brokers took more of the risk. I guess over time I have been conditioned myself to blame no one but myself.... because in the end, I am the only one who really cares about my money. If a storm hits my area and I lose money I blame myself as I...

Hi DEF, I agree, rebooking the trade would be a great idea. this would even save a hedger who has no idea one of his legs were busted.... Nick

Hi Don... I can understand your point about being caught in a naked situation especially if you were using a leveraged vehicle. But in this case IB contacted me several times about the bust so I would have had time to flatten the position without real damage. IE: IMO, If a stock was...

Yes, and I would also like to add, I thought he was giving it away the way he made it sound.. You know, now that I'm successful, I will make this software that helped me available to other traders blah blah blah... Sounds like you want to help traders but in reality your really looking to...

Lol...:p

I must IB credit for actually catching contacting me about a bad fill in KNXA this morning before I contacted them. I went long again this morning on a bunch of stocks and as I was reviewing me executions I noticed that my order for KNXA was filled at 21.82. Just as I was getting ready to...

Anyone else having problems canceling orders this morning. I entered 15 exit orders but had to cancel all of them. They are now in a dull orange color status meaning they are waiting to confirm the cancel. I chated with IB and the rep said that I may have to wait until open to receive my...
