My pings and tracroutes get through to www.interactivebrokers.com. My efforts to login fail. I'm not sure that this is "connectivity" related.

I have DSL too... my charts have no problem with the connection... the voice for our trading room is very good... my other broker does not disconnect. I also get e-mails from IB apologizing for the rash of connection related issues because of their ethernet switches. And you guys assume it's ISP...

What the "TIMES method"? Thanks

Some good ideas on Paltalk every morning... Business/Finance Group... Logicmaster Room has plenty of ideas on price and momentum. Really just tape reading with tick charts. Buffy and Dave's room is good too. Good luck

Best wishes for quick and full recovery, Don. ~EC

I have several accounts with IB ... futures, stocks and IRA. All of them are up at the same time. Yesterday they were all blinking on and off like a Christmas tree... whatever was happening to the futures accounts seemed to be happening to the others. I thought the e-mail I recieved was better...

Cisco... probably. The others? I certainly hope NOT!

Thanks for the explanation. I now wonder how tick charts can be more accurate than time charts? Seems like both can be derived from misleading data.

Dear Futures Traders: We have had serious technical difficulties in the past few days and I would like to apologize for the difficulties some of you may have experienced. The problems were isolated to our Ethernet switches which we are going to replace with new ones in the course of the...

When I am viewing several tick charts (say 25 tick... 55 tick and 77 tick) what am I seeing as the little bar moves up and/or down? I know it relates to price but exactly how? On a 25 tick chart is the size of the bar the difference between the upticks and the down ticks in the last 25 trades...

Def, I ask QT when this would be happening and their response was they were getting no help from IB so I could be waiting a while. Hopefully not too long. :) Thanks ~EC

Thanks for the s/r levels. I'd be interested in how they have done over the last week or two. Can we get a look at sheets for the last couple weeks? I currently use a formula with 2 levels which don't even come close to matching up with your numbers. How are these derived? Thanks ~EC

Everyone has to find their own way. I just posted the "strategy" because JeanMichael was promting readers for some others. It is not a recommendation ... just something for consideration. I wonder if we looked at a statistically valid sampling of intraday $COMPX charts if we would see a...

You said "Again it is a simple buy strength and sell weakness." Not the way I understand it. I think it is fading the strength and the weakness. The volume of the opening only takes it up or down so far. When the volume fades so should the sucessful trader.

More often than not it seems to happen around 30 minutes into the session. Give or take 10 minutes. 6:50 am to 7:10 am EST. Some gurus call it the "First Reversal Period". There are some explanations for it I won't go into. It seems to work for sell offs too... you know... XYZ warns ... the...

JM... here's a plan. Always fade the high of the first 30 minutes. I read about a guy selling such a plan. Women making 5 grand a month in their spare time. Working less that 1 hour a day... yada yada yada. So I look into it... and I find it works most of the time. Here's a picture attached. Do...

Seems easier to me but don't tell anyone. :D

Just buy or short at any point that the market is going your direction. Don't take on a position larger than prudent money management principles would allow. Set your stops. Take a profit when it is presented. In theory this should work.... I'll never trade this way though. :) ~EC

Thank you!
