When LEND was at 12.50 , I put an order to short it at the limit price of 12.51 and it hit my price and it was even tradedat 12.54 but my order was still open. I cancelled the order and put another order to short at the market but the order stayed opened so after 3 minutes, I cancelled the...

Why did not you keep the short position and sell put 40 for March to reduce the damage?

Again I believe OIH is way expensive compared to oil as of today. I would go either shorting OIH or shorting OIH and going long CL.

There you go. OIH is down before the hours.

Lets sue CNBC so all of us can get our real $1,000,000 :D

Oil is $1.5 down and OIH is up. I bet OIH will surprise everyone by dropping to $135 by March 16 (option expiry date) It has happened on many moths including last month. I am shorting OIH and or selling 140 PUT.

The opther point is that those who started to short recklessly at 36 range got scared and covered that helped the price to go up. If you want to go short do it in 10 steps. Like you want to short 5000 shares, short in 500 shares each. If it goes up, short another 500 and if it goes down then...

Someone said a while ago that the road for shorting will be bumpy and that is correct. The news of new memories are out today and the price is up to 40.20. I believe it should be time to take profit and start shorting. The fact is that there is no profit in the memory business. Big price war.

On the buy side , I am looking at WIND. They will come up with their numbers on March 8th and I believe that it can easily hit 11 if the market comes back. Volume is not that attractive. Actually volume becomes pretty random sometimes. It goes up a lot in some days. Even if it does not go up...

Recently IB has released the new beta version of Webtrader. If you are using Webtrader, please use this thread for your suggestions and or possible bugs. Here are my comments and suggestions: 1- High and Low prices of the day is not available for the quotes anymore.It just shows bid and ask...

If you look at OIH and OIL "Only" today that may not make sense but OIH is overbought compared to OIL. Just a month ago when OIL was 57-58, OIH was about 130. The other reason is as another dude mentioned was option. I was almost sure OIH will close either at 135 or 140 so I sold PUT 140 and...

Why do you want to ruin my investment?

I tried it a couple of times last year. Now that you say, I am going to give it another shot. Thanks

Last year I did the same. I combined all the trades in one stock and used "variable " for both purchase date and sell date but TurboTax did not accept it. Then I put a fake date for my sell dates.

Raising money is easy. I tell you how to do it. You can raise more than 10 million in a year. Start with your friends and parents and ,.... and raise say 100K and then impress them with your magical return. They will be a good source to advertise you and I am sure people will beg you to manage...

It should not be from cookie. I deleted my cookies and the option list also got cleaned. When that happens, only stock list that I am playing with gets initialized with the default list, the option list stays intact. Thanks for the help though. I know it is difficult to figure out what causes that.

I also know that it has nothing to to with IB software. There is something happening in my PC but I could not figure out what is wrong

Not if I don't open the edit market watch window to try to add a stock to the list. It happend twice today. The interesting thing is that the option list does not get affected. I assume that they use the same cookie. It does not happen 100% of the time. Like 15% of the time and that is a lot.

I use IB Webtrader at work and occasionally when I want to edit my market watch list and add a stock , I see that the list gets reset and I see the default IB's original list there. Then I have to start over again and modify the list again and put my stock list. It is interesting that my option...

I used to be interested to take the exam for a couple of reasons: 1- To increase my knowldege 2- to get self satisfaction when I pass 3- To maybe become a full time trader. Then I realized that I need a sponsor to take the exam that I gave up. Now my question is: Does anyone know how I...
