New Coke anyone? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Coke

Yeah I'm probably confusing the specific context with another one. I'm pretty sure I've seen the situation where I've had an order disappear after having another one fill due to margin, but I'd have to recheck.

Okay promise, this is my last whining about this - but fucking coffee today, man. I don't mind losing on a trade or flat out being wrong - but I definitely do mind missing out on a trade that I scoped out and didn't get filled on. My initial 2 entries were losses, my last resting order entry was...

I doubt it's all "Oh that darn pesky dollar, you so strong!" in the Fed compound - I'm sure they're part of it as well.

Just got killed on what I believe to be related to China yuan devalue although there was also news related to business confidence around the same time.

Why is everyone asking about this thing when it's completely obvious the move has already happened? Move on.

Yeah it's almost (well, is, actually) laughable how transparent the nonsense is. I'm just looking forward to seeing what actual excuse will be rolled around come Sep (and then of course Dec).

Yeah I saw that.. up 7% on a name change... completely logical! (there's probably some tax sheltering or other MONEY-related thing going on)

I find it funny that you actually believe this. All brokers are there to make money - not be your friend.

Which part? :-)

If I'm not mistaken IB allows this but will cancel the other order if the first one gets filled and there's not enough margin for the second. It's possible, though unlikely, to get filled on both at the same time as they'd be sitting at an exchange.

Why look, rates potentially delayed. Called it bitches! Sticking with my long EURUSD position for now. Are there any free markets left?

Z now down another 60 pts, -1%, DAX about -0.44%.

FTSE100 not doin' so hot out of the gate...

It's also a really time and mentally intensive way to trade. IMO we as traders don't consider enough how much time is actually worth.

So what happened to the other 99 guys with *proven* track records?

I'm sure Leeson knew how to trade. What happened here was a multitude of things: Kobe earthquake, not taking the loss and telling someone, no adequate risk control or checks and balances at the bank, and an ensuing lie so big he was absolutely committed to the lie at that point. None of it is...

BBC radio reunited Leeson and some Barings people to revisit the collapse together sometime back in 2011: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0132026 In the first of a new series of The Reunion, Sue MacGregor reunites Nick Leeson, the man who broke Barings bank, with his colleagues and former...

Speaking of Ackman that's one guy I'd love to see blow up. Douche master extreme.

I just recently came across this docu on YouTube (and noticed it was s0mmi from ET as the uploader). Anyway the first thing that came to mind after watching this was that the more things change the more they stay the same. Almost all the exact same frustrations and issues 20 years ago as today...
