covered the added contract at 12.75, will try to sell again at a better price.

Hey lawrence, do you have some link for this - something online, not looking for Traders Almanac since its not available for free online. Thanks for answering all my questions !!

Added to short at 1414.75 post the aweful UoM confidence numbers

yes i also meant capgain tax. So, you saying since capgain is going to increase from next year (most likely) people would rather book profits this year? But in the classic theory - people book their losses in December to gain from taxes. So, if capgain tax is going to increase from next...

Not sure on being a good trader but I will take the complement. Btw, based upon market action, I changed my position from long to short at 1418.5

Thanks for filling me in! But I am sorry I didn't quite comprehend it. So, you are saying no tax hike this year => people will sell more in december to pay lower taxes => so classic weakness could be more than average year. Or, did I follow you completely wrong?

I am long and I have huge respect for you. which makes me doubt my position. what kind of seasonal weakness you refer to ?

Agree with your view. On purely an economic basis, news is pretty substantial and in no way priced in. So, I am going long. Long 1418.5. Will look to add post market open

Good point - otherwise you get in the situation similar to knight capital. lol

Well, risk management won hands down over speculation before NFP. My ass got saved. LOL. I will remember this lesson for a long time :)

i chickened out and closed at b/e overnight. Good risk management since I should be flat before NFP, but obviously bad trade. Short would have been +4 points by now.

closed at 1412.25 Now short 1412.25, overnight for 3 point profit target.

you might prove to be correct but price action today has not been a one-way non-stop mover. So, not sure if tomorrow it will go up a lot. At least till now, it has not been able to break yesterday's high also.

Thanks for the chart.

Thank you. I will give it a try in the evening.

lol. that cracks me up :) I minimized one by one all the windows of TWS and memory usage on task manager didn't show any change. I don't understand why memory usage will change dramatically whether you are displaying the chart or not. Anyways, so this suggestion doesn't work.

I will give it a try. Btw, how do you install an older version of Java. Sorry, have never done that before.

I have been experiencing this problem for last 5-7 trading days or so. When you say - you minimized the chart - I guess you mean you closed that chart - correct?

Thats a good point actually. I haven't checked with them, Java updates on my machine automatically, it updates I think once a week. I never had such a problem before in last 3 yrs. Do you check with IB support for TWS compatibility every time you update Java on your machine?

Already answered all your questions in my post above. Yes, I have Jts directory and Jts0 directory also in C:
