I wouldn't trade without my APCs. They are incredibly cheap insurance. I keep my cable modem and router on the backup as well and have actually had times when the power outage was localized enough that my broadband remained live. On another occasion I had to switch over to pots. I also...

I certainly understand and trust defs examples, but with the stocks I play and the markets I watch, I will continue to use Stop Limits for my entries, partials and positive exits, and Stop orders for my bailing exits. If I have to take the weirdo hit now and then, I will to ensure that my...

Super, cause with my system trading, I'm using the actual RT app less and less and the data feed more and more. Thanks JB

>TUROK, What's the "bottom line" on RT....how >many points a day are you consistently pulling >out the market playing their calls? I have not been with them long enough to use the word "consistent" yet. For more detail, you can read my comments that started this thread. JB

>You guys could have made the same call by >saying "vrsn looks like it's breaking out, above >40 looks like a long to me" There is still a lot of conversation like that in the T/A room, but the only calls that get tracked come with a bright color background with the words ATTENTION! next...

>Reality trader is excellent for learning, but some >of the calls are quite vague. Again, anyone can read my comments on RealityTrader T/A in the post that began this thread, but I would like to comment on the above. RealityTrader T/A has not been vague even once since I've been in...

>Furthermore, if ARCA uses SuperSoes to execute >against market makers, then why even use >SuperSoes, why not always use ARCA instead? Because letting ARCA hunt around for the best price is almost without exception measureably slower than nailing the liquidity yourself. If you are not...

Ericdh says to dufferdon: >My point is, you seem to have no place for >personal responsibility in your thinking. Wow, did you ever miss his point. He is actually *promoting* personal responsibility for *all* involved. I have a responsibility to choose the car that is right for my...

You know, I've never attempted to mark an IB Island order "Market" to see what happens so I can't answer that part of your question (though just for kicks I am going to try it to Monday cause I like knowing about the oddities) When in control of TWS myself, I always route manually (and...
