NASDAQ Reviewing Dendreon Trading Ahead of Halt (DNDN) Apparently there was some suspicion that the transactions prior to the halt were erroneous. Apparently the were not.

Why is everyone trying so hard to avoid a recession anyway? Recessions are *good* and necessary. Why is everyone wanting everything to be back like it was before? (i.e. Million dollar McMansions and Hummers.) Maybe the way things were before sucked. Maybe society's expectations need...

Well maybe, except his analysis is basically sound.

When people really start to panic I'll start selling option premium to them. I assume you meant prepared for trading the flu, since this is in the trading forum.

Think of it like they're the cops and you're a suspect in an interrogation room. They'll do whatever it takes to get you to sign a statement. Same thing here. Only sign what benefits you. That'll be COBRA, 401K stuff, etc. Don't sign anything else. Don't give them the password to your...

Is there some kind of severance that you feel might hang in the balance if you don't sign? If not, eff 'em.

Word on the street is that 1256 smells most like spot FX.

I'll never call a bottom, but price doesn't hit a millenium very often (1.3000). I wonder if it'll bounce.

Enjoy your audit LOL

They don't want the world to end. They want everyone to *think* the world will end. That creates opportunity.

Seems a little odd since today is the 26th.

Oh, I dunno. If you believe the numbers they're throwing around 1000 sickened, 68 dead, that's pretty bad. Almost 10% if you want to look at it that way.

Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory, but I think it's just a good, old-fashioned screw-up. I and others have observed that Oanda's client and server implementations have become less reliable in the last couple of years.

It's not a broker. lol

I suspect the L5 values are being calculated using some volatility measure such as ATR. I've seen this thread for a few weeks now but never actually looked at it. It seems interesting. A long-only system is particularly interesting for trading in an IRA for instance.

At least you admitted YOU screwed YOURSELF. And I'd re-post that pic without your e-mail addy on it.

On the day in question everyone was having problems. The FXTrade desktop, web-based and mobile interfaces were all timing out. Here's the official answer from Oanda on what happened:

Your max risk on put selling is almost the same as your max risk on buying the stock. Theoretically any stock's price can go to 0. If you buy a stock at $100 and the price goes to 0, you lose $100. If you sell a 100 strike put when the stock is $100 for $1, your max risk is $99 ($100 - $1)...

I've daytraded stocks in my IB IRA with no problems. You just need the normal $25K minimum like any account.
