AAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :eek:

Another positive day. :D I got spooked out of my UAUA trade because Interactive Brokers took a crap again and orders wouldn't execute. This time I knew it wasn't just me, because a TWS bulletin popped up explaining a lag in orders being executed. Interactive Brokers is becoming very...

lilboy, I think I found something of yours. haha j/k I may trade more IF the market doesn't get it's rate cut. Otherwise, I'm out until tomorrow.

w00t! :D Thanks Bear Stearns.

Here's my sad story: Was up 200 bucks at 10a. Sometime thereafter my orders stopped getting executed! Limits, markets, didn't matter. Desperately tried to get into AMGN, but the order stayed on IB TWS's pending page! What? Pending? WTF? A market order pending on a highly liquid stock...

WTH? Anyone else haveing issues with IB? Everything was fine for awhile this morning, then every order I submitted, even market orders on highly liquid stock, sat on the pending page UNFILLED!!! Unfilled? How does a market order go unfilled? I called IB and they said they have no idea?! They...

Not too bad. I shorted amzn at the peak, but get shook out by a few pennies. It then quickly dropped about a buck. :( That would have took me over the 500 mark for the day. Oh well, can't catch them all. Anywho, I'll take it. :)

I dug a -300 hole fairly quickly this morning. I battled back and shut it down around noon. Thanks APOL and STLD. WTG dinoman! :cool:

I was pwnd. -555 Ouch, I want my mommy.

Yep, I'm out early too. I should be up a wheelbarrowful of cash, but I'm still struggling with taking my profits way too soon. For example: here's one of my entries: FNM short 500 shrs - 21.64 - 9:40a Argh!

Four (4) positve days in a row! Hope to continue next week. Quitting now before I give it back. Enjoy the weekend. :D *edit* No thanks to eSignal. It crashed 3 times in less than a hour.

3rd positive day in a row. I took profit a little early, but I'm happy. I'm on a new morning routine. So far, so good. *knock on wood* Good luck guys and gals.

You hedge every trade you take??? :confused:

Rich, you still alive? :eek:

+33.50 Quitting now before I go in the red. I am sick and tired of losing money. Trading stocks (profitably) has turned out to be the most difficult thing that I have ever attempted to do.

OMFG I am positive! :eek: All the planets aligned today and the gods agreed to give me a day of false hope. Thank you.

-325 If I was paranoid, I'd say MM's were gunning for my stops, but I'm not. Funny...If I would have set my stop only ONE penny higher, I'd be up a couple hundred bucks today. That is really demoralizing. One penny *sigh* :(

-141.00 I'm back, baby! :p "Only give what the market is willing to take." - TheAngryHermit

+145.50 I BROKE MY LOSING STREAK! :eek: .

More of the same. I was +$237.30 at 10:30a and gave it all back from 3-4pm. Kept trying to short the STP pop. Serves me right, I should have quit at 10:30a. Whatta 'tard I am. -32.05
