jim, regarding your first point: I and others have made the same plea. Hopefully IB will listen. re your second point: I simply do not want the thread to deteriorate into a bitching session because I don't think anyone will benefit - certainly not us as traders and certainly not IB as they...

While I empathize with those having problems with IB, I would like to once again remind everyone that this thread is a place where you give specific improvements or suggestions. Complaints re bugs, errors, etc. don't really have a place on this thread unless they lead to a specific...

This is my last reply to you, etf. I've tried to be civil but it seems all you're interested in is grandstanding. I don't know what you're smelling - maybe you should change your pants more often. When the market had a huge reversal day yesterday (did you notice that I didn't once boast...

Well, that was a bad call. Back to the drawing board. :p

Another data point is the extreme in sentiment in Rydex funds assets. The leveraged short funds are at an extreme only surpassed in Feb 2003 and August 2004.

Good stuff Brandon. RE retail, also look at GES - very strong RS.

That looks pretty FUBAR. I also suspected that you were hosed on a listed stock! How did you route the order? It shows as PSE (Philly right?). Please keep us up to date on how this ends.

Simmons is to oil stocks what Gilder was to the internet stocks.

Interesting. I'd like to know how it did going back more than 2 years though. Anyone care to backtest this for say, 10 years? or more? Someone asked for drawdowns: Sep '04 had the SPX fall from 1130 (signal) to 1103 (low) before closing higher than signal day at 1135 appx. So a slight...
