    This stock is falling hard ..... but huge buy orders keep coming in around 11.60 - 11.70, so it is holding up, yesterday and this morning. By huge - I mean a block of 2 million - 4 million shares popping in and out on ISLAND. Fascinating .... never seen anything like it on L2

    Why is IB's time 5 seconds behind the official time?

    I can tell you the IB time is pretty accurate (a few seconds off is possible though). So it is important to have an accurate system clock, and most are not. The problem is due to ACPI, and becomes worse if you have dual core / quad core / multiple processors. My clock was losing 2 minutes per...

    I am tired of day trading, but overnight margin is too high

    Yep anything after 4pm for futures is overnight, and with IB you really gotta get out by 3:50pm. Unbundled is only a better deal if you do a lot of volume.

    I am tired of day trading, but overnight margin is too high

    In my experience, IB starts auto liquidating futures at around 3:50 or 3:51pm if you aren't meeting the overnight margin.

    Can Ron Paul run as an independent?

    If he ran as an independent, he would probably booted out of his congressional committees. He is in as a Republican and it's a good ol' boys club. Then he wouldn't get to grill Ben Bernanke about monetary policy and fun stuff like that ...

    Bernanke now accepting crap mortgages

    The fed causes all these bubbles, not the American public. The fed and easy "fractional reserve" credit creates all the excess cash. Everyone prospers, and would be stupid to not buy up stock, and bid real estate up into the stratosphere.... but it starts with the fed .... it is a cycle ... it...
