:D Funny. OldTrader

OK, just got back in. That was no fun. OldTrader

IB pinks out just before 2:30 CST. I closed out of TWS. Now unable to sign back in. Anyone else? OldTrader

I've been following Rogers since the early 70s. Originally in Barron's on the yearend panel. Later when he became more public. Like everyone else, he's had some bad calls. That said, many of his calls have been absolutely brilliant. He's a long term investor, so you have to keep in mind his...

I don't think that's what they claimed. Perhaps you should re-read it. Start with the part where he returns it 10 months AFTER his account is closed. OldTrader

Certainly there was fraud around. No question there. But if the buyer already owned a home, it's pretty hard to make the case that he is going to be an owner occupant unless that loan is paid off. Do it more than once and it becomes very hard. The 2nd home thing was more viable. And I'm...

Hate to disrupt anyone's agenda here, but I guess you know that the only folks that got 0% loans were homeowners, not "investors", "flippers" etc. A non-owner occupant could not get a 0 down type of loan. OldTrader

LOL! Good one! You been around the markets long? So now you want to throw the guy in jail for being wrong in his forecast? LOL! You're killing me. Yeah, he also sold stock under a disposition plan legally filed and disclosed in advance with the SEC. You guys need to come up with...

Another guy who hasn't read the user manual, or evidently even explored around on his TWS. Stops work out of NY session if you configure TWS to do that. OldTrader

Not based on anything in the article you linked. OldTrader

Your stop should be triggered by something other than simply "last trade". Perhaps by the bid or ask. Or perhaps by more than one trade below the stop. You get the idea. OldTrader

Right. OldTrader

yeah, I could have hedged with YM. Unfortunately, it wasn't something I thought about. At first I thought it would be back up. Later I did hedge with SPY, but it was after some of that move had already taken place. OldTrader

This time was definitely better than that one in 2003. I was short that time and couldn't get out. It cost me pretty good. By the way, I don't recall the market very quiet. The boyz in the pit started buying and a pretty good rally ensued. Like I say, I lost a decent amount of money on that...

Thanks for injecting some facts. OldTrader

I don't trade it, so I don't know. I do know that they merged, that the website now has CBOT/CME on it. But when traders from different brokers are all having the same problem, it seems a little silly to blame IB, don't you think? OldTrader

:D

Yep.....freezing ES quotes in the Midwest. Sudden bursts of data. OldTrader

If you can enter orders that are native to the exchange via ButtonTrader, it won't matter if TWS goes down. Maybe you should check ButtonTrader out...doesn't sound like you're all that familiar. For instance, when I enter an order in ButtonTrader, I simultaneously transmit a limit order to...

I don't recall now if everyone who buys a T3400 get the gold tech service or not, but if you do have it, call them. They are quite good. I have a T3400 with 2-290s operating 4 monitors. It does work. But take a look at Jack's post. You need to right click on your desktop, then click on...
