Ohhh yeahhhh... :D

Good God man! How about a warning? Damn near killed me... :(

I would personally never put on a trade that had more or less unkown risk. Sure, it's easy to say "when it gets close to X, I'll just do Y and I'll be safe...". But things happen. And they happen when you least expect it...you just went out lunch for a few and... In my experience, no, you...

This strategy is very similar to "scalping a straddle". In this case it is a short straddle, which gives you considerable gap or overnight risk. Try this on a stock that gets a buyout, or a lawsuit overnight and you won't be able to add protective stock before you get creamed. Not to mention...

I don't know about Bill Barrett, but Bill Brasky is a son of a bitch...

Robert, I wish you could work out a deal with Baron to start an ET "Tax Forum". I know there were some problems in the past with links to your firm, but I'm sure that could be worked out so that both can benefit. Doing taxes for active traders is a royal pain and I know most here could use...

You need a router, but having a software firewall running is a good idea too. Maybe your kid, wife or gf installs a "cute screensaver" or the like. Then it starts trying to send your info out... Blocking unknown and unexpected outgoing traffic is important too IMHO. I use Zone Alarm...

Yiikes! Ever see "The Crying Game"? :(

"...who on the road met a fellow named Ennis..."

"He can speak Russian, in French..." :p

They do come up with some funny shiite. Too many lawyers in Amerika to do those kinds of gags here... :(

Yep, Global Warming at work! :p

I don't trade methods that would require high speed/low latency, so I can say the lag never bothered me. And it really wasn't even noticable. But the satellite was annoying in other ways. Mostly the problems were occasional space effects like sun spot issues at certain times of year, or bad...

The only troubles I've had with IB, over years and years, are these items: 1. Constant TWS and API upgrades will occasionally cause me problems. I mitigate this by only using an older "installed" TWS version and only upgrading when I absolutely have to. 2. IB TWS "pink-outs" indicating...
