But IB has $10 for inactivity fee, and the Java interface seems not so impressive as compared to navigator

Seems that single point of failure discovered and immediate action is carried out, however, any form of compensation like free commission for 50 trades would be helpful to put off the extreme frustrations and fire felt by the customers, especially those who made a loss, but of course, this is...

Actually i would have made a loss if i traded today :D so must thank to the outage :p But of course, if it is a gain, then it will be different story, I'll be mad. Anyway, really hope MB do something about this seriously, if it happen again within short time frame, then lots of customers...

They had better check their IT system and infrastructure for high availability and failover capability, seems that their standby system not working too?

This is extremely bad, they have to compensate us for this long outage!!! IB has such problem?

At this moment, MBTrading navigator and the demn site are down, what the hell is happening!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!

Must focus more on daily chart, else will get whipsaw, one good example is Mastercard. So far, have not seen another stock like it, SOLID run.

But once i exceed 3 daytrades within 5 days, my margin account is changed into cash account, then i cannot short sell anymore. i Have asked MBT, they said because of the PDT rules, they have to wait for 90 days to change mine back to margin account. Is this normal in other broker, like IB?

hi, Got my account into PDT in MBtrading, cannot short sell. Must wait 90 days before I can reset my account. Does IB has such ruling? Heard there's a PDT reset, is the reset subject to 90 days? Any other broker offer reset without waiting for 90 days?

Index slump on expectation met

But too focus on intraday make u miss the big move of your stocks. I have missed some big move, taken away by whipsaw. Sometimes even profit taking too early. And miss the uptrend. That's why also want to focus on daily chart

Any suggestions to avoid been whipsawed? meaning when u know it is fake down, fake shakeout, or when u know it is for real? Volume can be a good indicator. Anything else?

Do u sit thru when earning is coming or u sell before earning, earning can be quite scary, can down 10% but of cos can be up 10%, but very volatile.

Do you guys use intraday or daily chart? Intraday chart I find it has lots of noise, easily get stopped out and miss move... If you use intraday chart, how you can ignore the noise? any suggestions?

I see what u mean, use the hypothesis to figure out whether this industry will keep going up or will go down. Agree this need a bit of detective work. Currently, i'm basing my buy and short based solely on technical chart. I buy whatever goes up. But u know, as I'm reading intraday chart for...
