    OK, I sold half of my position for 1286.50 for just shy of 6 points profit. Holding the other half into tomorrow. I'm removing the stop on the remaining half until tomorrow morning. OldTrader

    Trading For Living - S&P 500 Market.

    You got a few things to learn. Price action is definitely valuable. I use it myself. But everything else is not worthless. Rather, there is a whole variety of things that provide context to price action. If you don't understand the context then you are basically doomed to chasing ticks...

    Trading For Living - S&P 500 Market.

    Just thought I'd tell you that I watch the NYSE A/D line everyday. I've watched it for decades. LOL. Believe me, I wouldn't be watching it if I didn't think there was something useful in it. I don't do anything as formal as watching a chart of it. I just watch how it acts relative to what...

    Wiring money out of IB to other broker

    Never said that IB was paranoid over a transfter between brokerage accounts. I said IB was paranoid, meaning when things deviate from the norm they will balk. My main concern was over the idea of multiple instructions for wiring. According to Daal, this is not an issue. My advice was to...

    Wiring money out of IB to other broker

    I've been wiring money into and out of IB for years with no difficulty. Are they "paranoid". Well, in a manner of speaking I guess maybe they are. In other words, if you do something that creates a possibility that this could be a thief attempting to withdraw money from your account, IB...

    My expectations for the trade just were not panning out. Plus, that horrible A/d is pretty hard to buck intraday. Not that it can't happen, but if you're a betting man, it's not the way to bet. The dominant trend is down, and I was bucking it. I was feeling very uncomfortable. So when I got...

    I guess it's going to have to go up without me. I'm out at 1296.75.....one point profit. Terrible A/D. OldTrader

    Buy ES at 1295.75. Stop at 1280.75. This will probably be a day trade. OldTrader

    After carefully reading your comments, I can only conclude that a) you really have not read my posts, or any of Rowshan's posts to me b) ET has no serious desire to provide a venue for serious trading discussion and c) while moderating my in fact be difficult, it should not be difficult to see...

    A Message From Rowshan

    Just to inject some facts into this moronic thread you have created, in Pabst's thread, I made exactly two posts to you. They were both in reference to the fact that you had recommended stocks AFTER the close, and in some cases AFTER news. But at least you posted the name. LOL! Enlighten...

    A Message From Rowshan

    You know, I do remember the few posts that I made in that thread. I also remember your so-called stock picks. Picks made after the market closed, at a time when no one could make a trade. Prior to earnings news. So that when a stock went in your favor, it could never be duplicated. Any of...

    A Message From Rowshan

    Here at 3:30 EST, looks like SPX is down 3.50, something like 2.7%. And, we got 1100 more down than up on the NYSE. Sounds like another great paper trade. But like some of the other posters, I'm still trying to figure out what this guy is trading. He doesn't trade futures. You can't trade...
