    Jim Cramer got margin call on live TV?

    I finally hit the limit for Cramer crap. I have turned off CNBC now that I have to listen to him as a regular on the show in the morning while I'm doing my prep work. I have Bloomberg running for any news I might need. I could handle ignoring the guy for the brief shots he was on in the past...

    NQ jumping around, is it IB feed?

    That's probably when I first started noticing it, but didn't make the switch to the ES till last week. I took a look at the backup platform and the same thing so I guess it is liquidity. Oh well, another year another change to adapt.

    NQ jumping around, is it IB feed?

    I was just looking at NQ and it is ridiculous the spread and bouncing around. I haven't opened my backup for futures trading, I guess that maybe the way to check if it is IB or just how it is moving. I never use IB's continuous setting, I just roll when I see the volume go on my own.

    NQ jumping around, is it IB feed?

    Just curious if this is really the movement on the NQ or related to IB and the tick aggregation they use? During the past week of volatility the NQ has been really jumpy on IB Booktrader, showing spreads from normal 1 tick to a full point on occasion. It hit the point where I went to ES for...

    The skies are filled with ‘ghost planes’ thanks to the strange market for flight slots

    A long time ago at this point, I worked for a regional airline and we had a acquired a slot at O'Hare, but didn't fly there and had no intention of ever using it as a market. So, we flew down there every morning did a full stop landing, taxi back to the other end and flew back home in order to...

    Is there something wrong with Larry Kudlow?

    For the hell of it I'm going to talk to a friend who was a Sheriff and certified for the FST's and have him look at the video. Maybe see if he has any thoughts on Kudlow. I'm going to see if I can find the whole interview.

    Is there something wrong with Larry Kudlow?

    Just curious after seeing him on air a couple times in the past few weeks he seems like he may have recently had a stroke or something. He slurs words, and to be honest doesn't seem to follow through on his train of thought in a coherent manner at times. He goes back and forth between sounding...

    What game are you currently playing right now?

    Sounds like when our oldest and youngest play FIFA. I tried secretly filming as it is hilarious, but the oldest really went nuts. The youngest just laughs while the oldest goes batshit nuts. The dog goes upstairs to his bed, just like on Sunday during the football season.

    Passed the SMB Futures tryout in 15 days

    I'm missing why these places or so evil. Unlike a lot of vendors, they aren't selling the magic trade setup that will make millions, but for some reason they don't use it themselves. They seem upfront of what the offer is and how much it costs to try and get a funded account. If you decide to...

    Anyone else find our representatives grilling of the Fed embarrasing?

    I don't know how many of these grilling's I've listened to now over the years. Today it's the Fed Chair, and most often it is the Fed Chair, but it can be anyone they have brought before the clown show. Most of the Senators and Congressmen/women really make me ill listening to the stupid self...

    Anybody try Wim Hof method for meditation/breathing?

    As an update, I'm finding my quiet meditation to go better in terms of calming and overall feeling afterward. I know not a great description of differences, and not sure quite how to define the differences. I am thinking of switching when I do each. I am currently doing the deep breaths and hold...

    Anyone tried nootropics or similar for better focus and work endurance?

    I'd add micro dosing LSD to that. I wish I knew where to get this stuff these days.

    Anyone with an issue getting TWS to launch this morning?

    Thank you, this is an example of why in this business you have another platform available. I've had similar issues with upgrades on my backups, as well as just about every piece of software. Just very frustrating, but gonna happen so have a plan.

    Anyone with an issue getting TWS to launch this morning?

    And now the platform locked up. I have to say I haven't experienced a lot of issues over the years, but this is getting me ticked. Edit: Had to use Task Manager to shut down.

    Anyone with an issue getting TWS to launch this morning?

    This morning another update, Build 979.3f. No problem signing in, but the same issue with data outside regular hours . If I click on one of the options in my Quote Monitor, and then click back to a futures contract I lose the data except for the day market hours data on the charts that are...

    Anyone with an issue getting TWS to launch this morning?

    Just figured out it is happening when I click on any of the options I am following in my quote monitor. Seems to cause the data outside of regular hours on my futures contracts charts to get unchecked. It doesn't uncheck it if I just go between futures.

    Anyone with an issue getting TWS to launch this morning?

    Just had to go back in and recheck the data outside of regular hours box again. A bit annoying.
