Just got connected to a working server.

Thanks, it seems like it is the same problem. ie: some servers are down and I can't force my connection to a specific server.

Anyone else having data problems this morning with Trade Station?

Last night I went for a steak dinner at a very fine restaraunt. I instructed the waiter to bring me the biggest, juciest steak in all of my town. The waiter returned from the kitchen a few minutes later and replied "The boss says if he had the biggest, juciest steak in town, he would eat...

Because I had a few PM's asking about "How I would exit my position" : Market took me out today. On the big opening, I raised my stop all the way up to just below yesterday's close. I didn't want the market to do an "oops" today :) I will enjoy the weekend flat and look for another...

I could be wrong, but I don't see where you've factored in the % increase/decrease the futures are vs fair value?

There's a reason why most "pair traders" have anywhere between 20 - 100 different pairs on at any one time. There's also a reason why many pair traders, trade legs in and out throughout the day. There's a whole lot more to successful pairs trading than just putting them on at various...

Back from walking the dogs. As a positive contribution for those who are trying to learn from ET forums, let me add: When trading the NDX: 1) Do NOT take positions against the direction of the largest components of the index 2) If you don't know what they are, please, look them up...

I'm still long my 10 lot of NQM8's from over 100 points ago with stops in to lock in profits. Gotta go walk with my dogs for an hour.

I think it's nice to know that a lot of people can experience interacting with mental patients without having to live with them. Kind of like "One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest" for traders.

Please, no need to worry about me. I have been long 10 NQM8's from a few weeks ago and will let the market take me out via a stop. I have no idea where the market is going, I'm just in it to make money, not predictions.

Yes, you will, as the NDX is the strongest of all indexes which has some very bullish implications.

Yes, I can confirm that there are people shorting the NDX.

No. Steve, like everyone else selling their trading systems and secrets, is massively wealthy from trading his own money. This promoter "thng" is really a charitable way for Steve to "give back". In fact, Steve is in Africa right now solving their hunger problem by teaching villagers...

That sounds great on paper, but the reality is that you will get killed when the book gets closed and re-opened 10 cents beyond your stop. Close stops can be a complete disaster during the first 10 minutes of trading.

It's just "tilt". I get mad at myself (not the trade) when I do something against my rules, whether it works out or not. I don't get mad at myself when I follow my rules and lose money. Each trade, where I follow my rules, is just a statistic. No trade is more or less important than...

This strategy was originally devised as a way for you to trade exactly like the specialist/market maker. The specialist is finding a balance point to open the stock. When that balance point is beyond the "fair" value, as compared to the balance between the S&P futures and the S&P cash, you...

He has "The Street" by the balls. If he leaves, it goes down the tube, so to speak. (The Street's daily infomercial is gone). http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/article/10676/Booyah!-Cramer-Finally-Signs-with-TheStreet.com?tickers=TSCM

Yes, it worked fine when I originally did the set-up.

I tried out BracketTrader awhile back and was trying to give it another go on Friday. 1) I was unable to get quotes to load from IB 2) I re-installed 3) I checked the forums on the BT site 4) I saw a topic titled "Unable to get IB data to work" 5) I saw posts that others were...
