/ next week. I am really pissed about this. I can ensure you, this mkt has been manipulated to the upside for months / years. But recently it got ugly: The news is, that whoever pushes it up, now uses his "good reputation" sometimes to attract other buyers. July 21st - July 27th and the...

gambling, nothing else... c'mon guys.

I noticed that TrackData's ECN, TrackECN, which was dead since it's inception, has now picked up volume significantly in the last weeks and months. Their stats say they executed 2.8mil shares of MSFT friday. As it is currently also the cheapest ECN, IB should consider adding support...

I'd say that a key chain would be nice !

If you also feel the "thick que problem" should be addressed by a lower MPV, vote with your feet and trade YMs instead ES

In my opinion IB should lower the minimum price variation in the EUR/USD pair from 1 pip to 0.25 or 0.1, if the MMs can support this. Trading larger sizes, it makes a difference! Otherwise, a good product - on the way to a new standard in FX trading.

Are you kidding or did he actually say this ???

I would get better erections from watching the LCD with the charts :D

vulture, I think you are 100% right. big money sees a downtrend (or at least, no upside). If you'd ask me, I'd even say 9 months. However, no generally bearish scenario, as equity markets have a general uptrend long term (therefore I said no further upside yet)

It seems this overnight madness got an immense boost in June 1998 and was present ever since then. Can anyone make something out of that date ? Or was it just because of the Nasdaq bubble...

results are really ominous when backtesting this to 1999 or so. I wonder if there is any substantiated explanation to that phenomenon. It is either manipulation or, I would say, the most significant inefficiency in US equity markets. If that's true, the pattern should really dissolve soon...

I was at a trading desk for a long time, it is correct that what the broker actually repeats is considered as the legally binding order, not what you said before. However, in your case, I see a (very small!!) chance of being refunded, however, a court had to decide about it. You would need...

whoa, rubberbird, while I was with you on that trade and got it sold near the high (better? look at page 2, the statement still stands), don't you feel it is enough now with that self-praise. - edited -

I think the DEMO is just perfect for what it does, showing TWS functions and allowing test orders via the API. If IB starts to offer free data via the demo for non-customers i'd really be concerned about their bandwidth.

Expecting at least 2-3 weeks of downside here. First Target 1170.

CPTrader, do you really see any chance a cash settled, say Crude Oil Future, would attract any traders ? I have strong doubts here. Another factor is, that Nymex traders would definetly give hell to any market makers at EurexUS when trying to hedge, so it would even be hard to get any MM's...

it seems you guys demanding energy futures have no idea of how these products work. it would take large infrastructural preparations to trade and settle these contracts. while it's quite easy for an exchange to introduce some cash settled contracts or financial or fx futures, physical...

spike, c'mon, I cannot look it up now, but I remember you writing here or in another thread "it works in all kinds of markets". what's the deal here ?

any other findings on the topic ?
