Dood, asking questions like this in a public forum are like putting a lightning rod on your head in a thunder storm. If you're trading these instruments you should already know this information. It's all available on the exchanges' web sites.

Dang, looks like I missed out on *that* move. I guess being on the US east coast isn't optimal for trading this pair, is it?

My friends all called me cheap, but I called it frugal. lol I dole my hard-earned money out very carefully; I think it's an important instinct for surviving the so-called "new retirement" as well as surviving as a full-time trader. On a side note, my office mate is a fellow in his late...

I have a friend who switched from IB to TOS just for this reason (i.e. what happened to the OP) IB does state they'll liquidate stuff immediately to meet margin in the event of assignment. TOS will apparently call you and give you a half a day to straighten things out yourself before taking...

When you place an order through the API you can set a flag that tells TWS to execute the order immediately. For stocks this seems to be available all the time. However, when you place option orders like this it won't work. The order will appear on the screen but you still have to click the...

Google Chrome is suffering the same ho-hum fate: Slashdot article I used it for a few weeks and uninstalled it cuz it just wasn't doin' it for me.

What? TASC had an interview with him, he's a smart guy.

I stopped trading stocks a while ago (long or short). I only trade options; much easier to manage risk.

No liquidity cuz the PPT ran out of money.

I just send it first class and take my chances. :cool:

Well, ET isn't really a blog, per se. The 2 blogs I read regularly: maoxian tradermike

Felix Homogratis, is that you?

People frequently confuse TA with indicators like RSI, CCI, Stochastics, etc. I agree. TA is "Technical Analysis". You analyze price and volume purely on their own activity without regard to the company's financials.

Have you searched their forum?

ES and YM both threw high volume shooting stars on the 5 minute chart. I'll bet the indices close red.

Wow, both YM and ES ran up, tagged the daily pivot and sold off.

Squeal like a pig! I can't figure out which is Bernanke and which is Paulson. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9gLN3QoN-q8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed...
