Jeez! I could stare at these things for hours.

We're in business to do business. The more business we do, the better off we are. Except, in a free-exchange environment, that works for both sides. "What a happy coincidence!" In real estate, the old saying is, "Buy the worst house in the neighborhood." The unspoken inverse of that is...

Wouldn't it be really nice if IB, being the professional, thoughtful, insightful, resourceful, and oh-so-forward-looking organization that it is, would just announce, We're sorry! Jus' kidding! "April Fool's Day!" and then roll back this crap? Wouldn't that just be a nice thing? Can you...

I have no idea when they added it; my {very vague} recollection is that there was a trend-line switch *of*some*sort* in Global or in Charts for many years. For all I know, it was an entirely different switch. ("Draw/Do Not draw trend lines.") Couldn't couldn't say. I just knew there was...

Then you're in business! (That's what this one did. 963.3c "stable".)

I'm curious as to what you trade, volpri, that you would voice such strong isolationism. Even the smallest slice of the Russell 5000 watch the dollar index and the 24-hour financial world as it turns. How do you *not* think that the U.S. "World Policeman" role (if we might agree that it might've...

Define "this".....

Screw it. I got *nothing* done. Nary a nibble. Not on top; not below. Time for bed. ES @ 2346 -- down -8pts. I'm doubting we even get a vol pop out of this.

Glad to help! Sometimes the dumbest things can just hang you up..... [cue that angry-assed emoji dude....]

I can't move a dang thing. Not above, not below. It's hard not to sound shallow, trading around a news event in which people have died in brutal fashion -- in response to other people dying in brutal fashion. But the fact is, it's time to divorce from the humanity of it all, read it for a...

Bloomberg sez Russia was notified in advance: Sell the bottom. Buy the mkt. ES 2341. -12.25

That's a starkly poor reading of history: except for President Cheney, war-mongering has been a decidedly bi-partisan effort for half a century.

"Don't bet against Trump" was it?? Well, regardless, I've got some stuff on for Apr13 right now at an ill-advised 2340. When we about-faced yesterday, I had finger-on-button to roll, and decided to let the overnight go, as I expected that the (employment) optimism would top the (FOMC-balance...

Killjoy.

Our own people, who had been in Iraq since '91, *screamed* that there were no WMDs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Ritter The move to invade was not triggered by any threat of WMDs, but by idiot Saddam's intransigence: he refused to kiss Cheney's ass in a timely manner. No lie. (And why...

The farther from the money you go, the greater the difference a nickel (or similarly small increment in price) will mean. As that happens, pricing in general goes from being a comparatively continuous function (mathematically) to an increasingly step-wise and *lumpy* function. With that, where...

Welcome to trading. (Just make sure you have a stop-loss in place.)

Just think "Body Count". We have an amazing military, but we have a democracy that doesn't vote, via apathy and ignorance. Decisions get made by the fifth branch of government, based on hoped-for results that are out-of-step and out-of-tune. Been that way for a hundred years...

Edit/GlobalConfig/Charts/Settings/Trendline/auto-complete: check

Well, to me, that sounds like you want an easy answer -- and I'll forewarn you, there won't be one. *Some* things are easy to rule out, but at each expiry, there will be trades that will do the trick for you, *depending* on how much time you wish to hold the trade. (Thus, which expiry.) Pretty...
