Actually I figured I was probably going to be too early getting out. LOL. Next time let me know eh? OldTrader

I sold the other half of my ES at 1383.25, for just under 9 points profit. I'm going to watch for a while. OldTrader

OK, I'm selling half my position at 1383.75 for an 9 point profit. Holding the other half for a while here. OldTrader

What operating system are you using? Did you delete your prior java version when you installed this? OldTrader

kiwi: I had to download new drivers for my video cards (I have 2 nVidia 290s), so that shouldn't be the problem. Kiwi, if I recall, there was a way to have both java 1.5 and 1.6 loaded, and direct TWS to use 1.6. Would you do that? Or would you delete 1.5? If you would have both loaded...

I hadn't downloaded the same version on my oldest computer. So I did, and 884.6 loaded right up. This computer is an old Dell Dimension 8100 with 500 mb ram. OK, so what would that tell you? Any thoughts on correcting this problem? OldTrader

Harrold: Evidently you didn't read my posts thoroughly. Had you bothered to read them, you would have noted that I'm not a "Cramer-lover". And, while there may in fact be a "big picture" here, this thread did not begin about the "big picture". It began, if you will look at the title of the...

This is my usual method. If it doesn't work, I have a stop. I would say though that by the time there is "price confirmation", the price will be higher. OldTrader

I've got a problem booting up TWS 884.6 standalone, Java 1.5. (I've been running this build now for a couple of weeks). What happens is that I sign in, and hit the login button, respond to the challenge numbers with the secure device, hit OK. At that point the bluish looking box comes...

Gotta admit I didn't especially care for the close. That said, I'm going to stay long over the weekend. Stops cancelled until Sunday night when I get a chance to take a look. Have a good weekend. OldTrader

:D By the way, I thought there were no old, bold traders? OldTrader

Frankly I don't see the trend line you're talking about. But if it's there, it's got to be down! LOL. Actually, I had a downside target of about 1375. And again, that happens to roughly coincide with the rising 50 day average. I'm buying against that average, after the target was satisfied...

A combination of reasons. We're down around the 50 day average right now, and just above a swing low of about 1370 RTH back in April. I could see us running those stops, so this 1361 gives that some room if in fact we do that. Plus, this is the most I'm willing to lose on the trade. On the...

How about a swing trade just for fun. Long ES at 1374.75. Stop at 1361.00. OldTrader

My post was just to point out that there's a whole lot more to the current commodity markets than speculation. Anyone who believes that is truly naive. My recommendation would be to allow prices to go wherever they're going. Instead of Congress wasting time trying to figure out who they can...

Let's assume that all of the numbers set forth in the article are true. So what? Where's the proof that all this speculation is what is actually behind the increasing prices in oil for example? I notice the article left some important information out. For instance, are you aware that the...

They gotta get that stochastics off their screen. LOL! OldTrader

What's more concerning to me is that the breakout failed, and failed at the 200 day average. Taking the 2 day lows following that takes on more importance because of that in my opinion. However, the drop has been sharp, so we'll see how well we can hold here, and how far we can retrace. I see...

When I look at the hourly chart I don't see a channel. What I see is a 5 bar down move, pretty much straight down. Of course, I'm looking at the RTH chart. OldTrader
