I get the idea it is more of a decapitation, stitches won't help much Maria

paper trade - IB lost quotes for extended periods, there were limit down in place overnight. Definitely not a place for novices.

yep

hold on tight for the opening when the panic buttons get hit..... reckon another spike and limit levels being reached....

remains to be seen if it will hold maria

dicey - looks like it ain't working.... my support is holding

Poor IB cannot keep up - quotes go blank 20 - 30 seconds at a time......

it reached a reversal level, now the waiting is to see if that is a real reversal or a fake-out. Maria

Rate cuts won't reverse a panic - imho it looks too late now. It's the long weekend that was the proverbial drop that made the bucket overflow. Maria

You're wrong, that is not the oldest profession. The oldest profession is trading: something had to be traded first. ;-) Maria

Yep! Read my previous post. And that's when people start jumping out the window and kill themselves..... Maria

Just take a look at the Globex open of the 10 year notes today and see the jump. Am still half in shock: last Friday I missed that Monday was going to be a public holiday and the markets would be closed. Normally I am flat over such a period but I had an open trade at the close..... Extreemly...

I am at the moment in New Zealand but my computer time is set to Frankfurt (Eurex) timezone. Maria

It is totally clear in my trading setup that the autotrading bots are aggravating the situation. This is one of those moments where humans have an enormous edge. Maria

IB has just notified its traders that there will be no reduced intraday margins today due to increased volatility. Congrats! PS in the 6 pm news in New Zealand there was talk about an expectation of the US market going down by 6 % overnight (NZ time). Maria

I have my computer sitting at 06:46 at this moment, it will open at 08:00 on my computer. Maria PS you can see the relation of timeframes and trading hours on this website: http://www.derivatecheck.de/termine/default.asp

Perhaps one should ask instead where the next bubble will be. When Germany collapsed (it was one of the "strongest" pre WW II economies) the Deutsch mark collapsed with it: a wheelbarrow full of those would not even buy a bread. Then, with the help of outsiders it restored (hey they did...

Cannot believe all this talk about funnymentals. All one has to know is if you are in a trend and if the move is a reversal or a retracement. And in a parabolic market is it very dangerous to get into the game a) late and b) against the trend. Remember Google and all those people saying...

Pfew..... that was a darn large move. Was very, very lucky to be on the right side of the move. (sizeable too). Am calling it quits for now and do not know if I'll trade again today. Still shaking.... Maria
