    I do not think you guys know how to recognise a trend or how to recognise when a trend is about to end. Maria

    Gold is going to correct further, yes or no?

    gold went mini-parabolic. the big question is now: Is the parabolic move over or is this a "natural reaction" in Jesse Livermore's term's? I'll leave it you your learned discretion to determine if at this stage you want to hop onbaord of a parabolic move. Maria

    IB's new limit on open orders

    It does not need to have to be mighty quick. All it needs is all those limit orders out at those exchanges and at that moment IB for one reason or another loosing contact with the exchange and not knowing what orders are being filled. I'll leave it to yourself to determine the likelyhood...

    IB's new limit on open orders

    I disagree, this is a REAL GOOD IDEA. One day, and that is coming sooner than you think, you will have the lot filled and you will not have enough money to cover. And who is left holding the bag? Maria

    Attention Whinging Loosers! THIS IS WHAT A DOS ATTACK IS ALL ABOUT

    All those programs are nice if you have the spare CPU capacity. But if you have the right secure behaviour pattern in place then it these are not mandatory. We run our machines right up to what they are able to handle - a 2.2 Ghz Pentium M running at 80% avg CPU load (solidly peaking at...

    Attention Whinging Loosers! THIS IS WHAT A DOS ATTACK IS ALL ABOUT

    search the earlier posts under this handle when my father was posting. He was mentioned as being paronoid. I still do what my late father used to do: When finished surfing the web to any unknown websites I do a full restore for a second HD that fits into a bay in my computer, booting from CD...

    Eur/USD

    yes, last year there were saying that the Euro would hit 1.80 ~ 2.00 USD. Then it became 1.00 to 1.00, and who bailed with (what was it?) a 900M loss? No one knows. I hear you on the correction potential. I am thinking of getting out, and not waiting for the stops. Am wondering about...

    Eur/USD

    a phrase once coined comes to mind: the market stays irrational longer than that you can stay solvent you can be right on the market but if your timing is off then you are nowhere - this is the challenge with options: not only the handicap of getting the direction and move right but also of...

    Unethical Conduct by IB

    This is why I have camtasia studio running when trading. No arguments, can replay and see if it is my own execution error or if something else is happening. Maria

    Nzd/usd - Aud/nzd

    sorry - correction. The Euro - NZd is approx 1:2 ratio so the petrol price in NZ is approx 1/3 from what it is in The Netherlands.... :)

    Nzd/usd - Aud/nzd

    and today another 3 cents added.... (NZD 1.759) still well below the price in The Netherlands (Euro 2.32 which works out at almost double of NZ petrol price) Maria

    IB Down

    Hmmmm that is about 99.996% too much.... Same as NASA - they spend how many $$$ developping a pen that could write in space? After the wall came down they asked the Russians how they had solved that problem. "We use a pencil" was the reply. Maria

    IB Down

    I disagree - the proof is in the pudding and the rest is just lame bull shitting around the issue. My late father was a high end developper, later project leader for fault tolerant systems so I have more than a passing knowledge of this. Do you fly in a plane and wait for a fault in the...
