Lol...you know, you can get a 24" monitor for around 100$ or so these days!!!!!

You know that with a 500$ margin on the ES you only need a 10 points drawdown to wipeout your account if you use 100% of your available capital? Anyone who has traded the ES knows that this is a recipe for disaster.

Yeah, The good old days!!! I remember I had to call my broker for my orders (with a real wired phone!), and also to get the real-time market data prices. Day trading futures was hard at that time. For one in-and-out position, I had to call my broker like 20 times... Getting a real-time terminal...

Which contract are you trading (EP???). I have similar response times with IB trading the ES (CME) from East Canada (same distance to Chicago as Texas). I'm guessing that the time stamps displayed are the ones local to your machine, and not the ones sent by the AMP server?

If you really see live trade outside the NBBO market (and not past trade outside current market), then you need to look at the trade condition. Usually, normal trade cannot print outside current NBBO market (their might be exceptions for leg trades on spreads). Also, PHX might not be at NBBO...

A female having a wife is called a lesbian. Nothing wrong with that (in most countries!!!)

Ain't gonna happen.

With all due respect, if you are serious about that claim, then you just lost the small amount of credibility you had left.

It's really fun and interesting to buy and use new gears. But at the end, unfortunately, it doesn't help us make more money out of the market (except for some very specific cases!). I'd like to have a 10k$ setup with OLED monitors and everything, but it wouldn't be more profitable than a 2-3k$...

Being right is nice, but being profitable is better. And profits are made only when a position is closed. If you're right for the entry but wrong for the exit, who cares?

When you get lonesome in your mother's basement, the Net is often the only place where you can get some attention, as delusional as it's sound.

Getting thousands of views. That's his goal. How to be No 1 in ET based on the number of views? And he succeeded at 100%.

Nobody can prove that the OP didn't do it. You just mentioned this fact several time (you cannot prove that nothing happened). Using an out of the context example (criminal justice system) is not helping you prove your point. The one claiming something has the responsibility to prove it. A...

You got all wrong here. The burden of proof is on the one claiming that the situation happened, not on the one leveling the accusation. You can accuse someone that something happened, but you also accuse that nothing happened. In our case, the OP is claiming something. So it's his...

Lol...HFT don't trade 0.01 lots, and not with a 100$ account.

LOL....I've worked many many years for different exchanges.

This is a theoretical example not easy to replicate cause in the real world, the put option price will be higher and the dividend lower. Anyway, SIG strategy is different than that one and is highly impacted by the fees they are paying/receiving. I wish I could remember what were the details of...

I sympathize with your situation. I've been using IBGw for several years and I'm forced to connect only once a week (with 2FA). I'd love not to have to do it, but I guess nothing is perfect. I don't remember the last time it crashed or closed by itself. But maybe I'm just lucky, I don't know...
