1.26. 1774 Advances, 1478 Declines, Up Vol 7,164,333 , Down Volume 5,135,786. When you calculate it using their numbers, trin comes out to .86.

IB provides trin for the nyse in a couple of different ways. One is as a direct quote on the TWS. The other is via their market statistics page available via their market scanning function. I think that their Trin is incorrect. The formula is A/D all divided by advancing volume/declining...

Cash drives futures in the end...but I don't think there is much value (relatively speaking) in the SPX. Better to keep an eye on key stocks and sectors. These are what drive the SPX. Futures give the illusion that they lead. They'll predict 10 out of every 2 upmoves! The other 8 you...

Stingy and cheap...and perhaps stupid. We'll see how it goes if you ever have a serious health issue. Perhaps you're young, and it will never happen to you eh? OldTrader

Basically what you're wondering is whether it's a good idea to have more on with your bad trades than with your good trades. In other words, if the trade starts right out going your direction, you have no opportunity to "average down". Therefore you have fewer shares on with your successful...

Good question. At this point it looks like he needs to go back to school and learn what long/short the Euro means rather than to trade it. If there is anyone not confused by the last dozen posts or so, to include Surf, please raise your hand. OldTrader

It's intermittent where I'm at (Midwest). So if you ask me at one point, it's "working", at another, it isn't. OldTrader

Yes....problems again. Gotta love it. OldTrader

What makes you think there will be an explanation? OldTrader

Good news....Globex may not be available for "some" customers. OldTrader

Yawn. Is the roto rooter guy there yet? 10:31. OldTrader

10:25...still not operating. OldTrader

Globex has not been working. Bad thing is, they don't even know it judging from their messages. I'm now getting a quote line showing different quote and size than market depth. OldTrader

Globex is a problem too. OldTrader

You're going to lose your ass....dirty job, but I suppose someone has to do it. By my calculations you're going to need a 90% win rate at those commissions and with .25 wins and 1.00 losses...to make a little. Your chances of a 90% win rate? Next to zip. I used to know a guy on the floor...

I don't have "slowdowns and burps", and neither do most people. What I would wonder is what you and the original poster have in common.:D OldTrader

If you're trading 10 roundtrips per month you don't need Level II. OldTrader

Stops do not go to globex. Stop limits do go to globex. Thus if IB is down, the stop limit is still working. Sounds like you got some bad info. OldTrader

I agree. OldTrader
