Well anyways, I found out that either IB's software or the ecbot itself does something called "netting" of trades and that prices might be not entirely accurate *shrug*.

For a market order to sell to be filled at the same price I was offering would require a bid at my price, so that wouldn't be possible (or else I would be filled).

This morning the following occurred: I had an limit offer to sell 5 contracts, and from what I saw I was the only offer at that price other than some arb program which was offering at the same price every once in a while. Now this: on the tape, I see that I was filled for 1 contract, then...

Dunno, but I've heard and seen the phrase "Just buy the dips!" thrown around quite often as of late . . .

IMO intentional devaluation of one's own currency through intervention and/or artificial pegs should be disallowed under WTO membership, for eventually it will expose the fiat system for the magical printing press that it is. But perhaps it is already too late . . .

If that wasn't someone capitulating at 3:00 (and someone else selling into it), I don't know the meaning of the word. It actually looked like my IB screen was shaking right at the top! (IB SFX?) :)

:D

Jumping out of chair shouting "YES!!" has been my most reliable exit signal so far :)

I've known people who "invested" on the side and turned 20k into 750k in less than a year -- these numbers are not impossible considering how insane the markets have been in the recent past. In fact, it would not surprise me to learn that the 15K went to 500K or more (esp around 2000) before...

Not to nitpick, but will it ever be possible for IB to coincide their daily shutdown with globex's -- 5:30-6:30 pm EST? It's amazing how many times huge currency moves occur right at 11:50 pm or so :) Otherwise, keep up the great work!

Bottoms are points, tops are processes, barely anyone ever gets to brag too much right after they catch the top, will take a while before any shorts will be "vindicated" :)

agreed! :)

Did someone wake up and realize that the IFS report (showing net positive purchases of dollar assets in Nov) is mostly the result of Asian central bank interventions? Japan confirmed that when they admitted buying over $68 billion against the yen last month alone.

Who's the lady that keeps coming on CNBC with bearish news/calls? She just finished a few minutes ago . . .

It's a hypothetical, just anticipating what the mechanics of such an occurrence would be.

Say a contract goes locked limit up for a series of days that also coincide with the rollover date into the next contract month -- is it common for people to be locked out of one's position? You would need to sell your current contract (assume it's impossible to take delivery) which is not a...

Thanks again! :)

Aye, thanks def :)

For the technically incompetent, how does one go about changing "login strings" ?

Can anyone recommend a site where I can get daily charts going back 20+ years? Thanks.
