    IB Paper Account OPG Market orders not Executing?

    I placed about 22 OPG Market orders the previous night in my Interactive Brokers Paper account, but this morning none of the trades executed. Is this normal? Any suggestions?

    Triple top on S&P, are we at a top?

    No one really knows... Its just speculation at this point. I found take some profits off of the table at this point and buy on the pull back. Than again it could just continue to climb on this artificially inflated market.

    Best Prop Firm: 5k down, no cap. lockup, no volume requirement & Lightspeed

    Why is it that all your 161 post are only oliver or element trading related? Why is that when anyone asks for a prop firm you instantly advertise element trading, you don't know any other prop firms with $5k deposits?. Why is it that you became registered here right after charles and oliver shut...

    Grinding it out, day after day

    I would say atleast 1-2 years. Market volatility changes, the results of 1 month will not represent future results.

    Anyone experience with OceanView

    I'm really interested in this company. Its seems they have a really good commission structure as well as two difference platforms to choose from (lightspeed, sterling). Does anyone have experience with this company? If anyone is with this company, can you break down all the cost structures, any...

    Best commission with $5k deposit

    Kind of strange how all of your post are only element trading/oliver related? And it seems in all those post you defend them. And the fact that you're registered 1 month after Oliver's company shut down makes it even more suspicious. I would stay away from Element trading.

    The Most Underestimated Risk In Trading

    Well thats exactly how I trade. The only thing is adjusting my positions to stocks that may be affected by news. You can't predict where the market will go, so you hedge against it. All that matters is the long run, i don't care if my stops get hit or not I only care that I'm profitable at the end.

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Puddles, Sorry if this was already asked, but do you trade off signals you get from a scanner or are you fully discretionary. Thanks

    Do you trade from a day-job that is unrelated to trading?

    Yes its true, I work in an IT department and they basically monitor every site you go to and the duration you stay on that site. At the end of the month a report is usually given to the department head. Yes its true they can block sites you aren't suppose to go to like gaming or pornography, but...

    I've got 5K, what now?

    My suggestion is to take that $5k and trade with a prop firm. Trading Sim and Trading live is basically two different animals. In Sim you can easily reset the account at any time, and you also do not deal with the emotional aspect of trading. You can basically double down as many times as...

    My guess as to why traders fail

    I agree with all except 1) under capitalization. I think this route is actually the best for anyone who is beginning to trade. Instead of trading simulations all day, throw $5-10k into a prop account and start trading live. You'll learn the effects of emotions, risk management, and wishful...
