8 mins to the close and still stuck. Very scared now. Hopefully I don't get totally screwed tomorrow...

I only able to get some. Partial fills. Then it went back to limit up. I need it to trade normally again in order to fill the rest.

when will Oct start trading again. It only traded a few contracts that I got filled at. Then it halted. :(

this is my first time trading lean hog futures. I was able to get out 1 lot in one account(still have 4 more to go). 2 lots in the other account(which made it flat). Now it's limit up again and I can't get out. I put in a limit order to get out the remaining. Hopefully they get hit.

Dec is heading down a little bit! Please let me trade out of Oct!

Interesting. They why did TWS rejected my order and the IB trading desk wouldn't let me out. They said it's at limit up???

It REJECTED my order!

oh shit! I bought Dec futures to hedge then it dropped. Got out at a loss. I will just sit through this one. Unhedged. Hedging is not so simple. Hopefully Dec will drop like a rock so it will mean that Oct will drop too ?

really? I'm in Oct. I called IB trading desk. They said they can't let me out. And TWS wouldn't let me buy back. wtf? what broker do u sue that let you trade?

ok. oh sh*t! Dec 2019 is running away. I'm gonna get fck in Oct when it opens up. Stupid me.

Thanks! Are you sure it's not limit up too? Because I'm afraid to enter now... And prices are not moving..

Have any of you guys been stuck limit up? I was making money long lean hog futures(HE symbol on IB). Then I decided to be clever and short. And now it's limit up. fck! And there's nothing IB can do. I can't get out. Really scared now. I forgot or hadn't realize that limit up can happen. In...

You can roll your 401K into an IRA at IB.

Nope. Maybe in a 1 year when I have built up a more solid track record.

I WFH(work from home). So I have that flexibility. I don't trade the full day. Sometimes just the first hour. Or if things are really moving then I trade more. I don't use any more leverage than what's inherent in futures. These results are achieved with super low # of contracts given my...

What you say is all good and stuff. But I just don't have time to enter a trade then post it on ET. Sometimes I'm in and out on a trade in minutes. Then catch the next bus. Sometimes I hold much longer. So I don't want to mess up with my trading by letting my eye of the screen. I like to...

I'm mostly intraday trader though I have swing and position traded with some success. In some way, I'm experimenting with both approaches(long term vs intraday). So in a year I want to see which one ends up being better. The one stock I'm holding long term broke out when I bought it and it's...

No level 2. I trade futures. Even when I trade stocks and achieved similar results I never really used Level 2. Just pure chart, PA, TA, etc.

Hi ETers, As some of you guys might already know, daytrading has been a long long long journey for me. I've been doing it on/off since 2001. In between, I had jobs/career and stopped trading for years and years on end. But since 2015 I have gone back into doing it actively with pretty bad...
