What I meant by that is that when the time arrives that it does blow thru your stop, you're still in because your stop was not hard. Frankly, for a forum like this it makes your stop meaningless because while you're "deciding", the market could be moving. And, not saying you would do this...

Why don't you just post a bigger stop? Then if you want to get out earlier, you can. 1 point stops are too small in my opinion anyway. OldTrader

If you gotta decide when it gets there, all that means is you don't have a stop. It blows on thru there, you're still in. Let us know when you get out. OldTrader

Didn't we hit your stop at 18.75? What am I missing? OldTrader

I could see measuring your 10 points from 1414.50, perhaps 1418.00, but why 1419.50? That looks like the least likely spot to measure from. OldTrader

Do these May futures puts and calls expire tomorrow? OldTrader

You don't mention anywhere in the chart that is is "inflation adjusted". If so, your chart is meaningless. Before I thought it was just wrong. LOL. Who do you know that trades anything based on an inflation adjusted chart? Ridiculous. OldTrader

Not sure where you got your prices. Gold didn't trade over $1000 back in the 1980s. The high on gold back then was around 880. Maybe you're looking at one of those continuous futures charts. Which means your chart doesn't mean anything. You can't draw a downtrend line on the long term...

The only problem here was that you posted your stop change after the price went through your stop. OldTrader

I thought the rule of 10 added 10 to the low? Maybe you could restate the rule as you apply it. I did read the page suggested earlier at page 5089, but from it I gathered you were applying the 10 to a low, not a high. Thanks for any clarification. OldTrader

Where does the 1407 come from? I see a 1409.25 low. OldTrader

I'm sure B1 must use some discretion with the application of his rule, much as you do with the application of this rule of 10. By the way, last reaction low RTH was 1401.50. Add 10. 1411.50. A 3 point stop would have been 1414.50. I gather this is an example of the rule of 10 not working...

What's the T-Day rule? OldTrader

Just a couple of comments regarding insurance: First regarding pre-existing conditions. This is a real problem with insurance policies. As one poster said, they all have an initial period where a pre-existing condition may not be covered, usually a few months. But if your wife has a more...

Why didn't you exit the ES on Friday, and renter on Monday? OldTrader

I don't blame you for that. You might want to PM him and ask for a way to send it to IB directly that he would get it. OldTrader

Why didn't you send him the info directly like he requested? Am I missing something? By the way, OCO orders work fine here. I enter them everyday. OldTrader

This doesn't appear to be a bug. I think it has to do with your screen resolution, or maybe like the other poster, you have resized TWS and created your own problem. See my post above for a few suggestions. A bug should affect everyone. OldTrader

OK....so obviously IB can't do much about what size you have TWS sized to. Here's a suggestion. You can detach pages from TWS. You can put whatever you're following on a page, detach it from TWS, then resize it. There won't be any search function on the detached page. Then minimize the...

Did you look at mine? Why doesn't mine have the "bug"? OldTrader
