So I just got off the phone w/ someone at IB. Was able to log on to my tradestation this morning at my friend's house, but then when I went to the university, nada, same as Friday. The guy said it was probably because Arizona State University, whose free and open wireless I'm utilizing...

Just tried to log in again and was able to. Account looks the same as before. Btw, just in case it somehow hasn't been clear from my previous messages, I do have the fancy gizmo, the small thing that has a little button that whenever you press it produces a 6 digit number that you then type...

Still can't log in. Guess I have to wait until 4 pm to talk to someone about it. I do have the new little gizmo, the one which has a little button you press and it produces a number that you type in to a seperate applet. Just hope the Fri afternoon problems weren't because someone was...

So why do you think I haven't been able to even log in to my account--yes, I know I can't trade, but why can't I even VIEW my account from Friday afternoon until, hopefully, this Sun 12 noon east coast time?

Just went to IB website and it says the system is available until Friday at 11:45 pm. On Friday I tried well before that time. Guess I'm afraid somebody hacked my account, somehow. But I can't get in to find out and I can't contact anyone. Can't even open the stupid account activity...

when i try to log in it says that one cannot log in before 12 pm on sat or sun--it does't say 5 pm fri to sun. i am not overleveraged, and, i have a profit. but even if i were losing money, how can i cut my losses if i can't even log on to close the darn position? metal futures trade...

Since Friday afternoon I have not been able to log in to my IB account. Get as far as user name and password, and then something keeps flashing at me, which I assume may be the little applet they use for me to type in my number from the safeword security device. I have a mini silver...

What do you mean by that? How many contracts to a lot? What made the price jump around so much? The spiking up and down was only in silver--for at least a few hours the volume in SI outstripped that of GC, whereas ususally it's the other way around.

If I closed all my positions now I'd be a teeny bit ahead. Thinking of doing it because AU and AG are not behaving the way I expected. As I was walking down the street tonight after the markets closed it suddenly occured to me: are gold and silver about to divebomb ala Feb 27th because the...

try this 4 live quotes kitco's quotes whack out at least once a week someday they'll be sued for inducing cardiac arrest once they had silver a dollar lower than it was! no warning, no "price unavailable"--no message or indication that their data feed is out of whack so a user could...

Wonder if this thread should be called "May Silver?" This front load stuff with silver is tricky. If we go silly parabolic over the next two weeks, we might get that 'drop a dollar in one day' stuff that silver can do. Still, I prefer to buy the upcoming most active month on dips, rather...

Well, I closed out a mini silver and a full-sized one shortly before close today at 13.65. Took out two full-sized May Silver at 13.62. I think if I add or replace from hereon, it will be July silver. We shall see.

I'm suprised it's held up as well as it has today. I was long one silver from 13.40, sold off today and then bot another one on a dip. Wondering if I should sell this one and wait for a possible retracement tonight, or just hold on and think about adding.

Think this same thing happens on the ecbot silver contracts. Think I'm going to stick to comex for now on, and, as you suggest, not use stops. Unfortunately, this means only keeping positions open when I feel confident I can monitor them. Or, as you said, maybe the fullsized gold comex...

What exactly happened, Seth?

Is this a special Interactive Brokers rule? They seem to close out earlier than ecbot exchange rules require. On my other account I rolled over today, whereas IB sent me an email last Wed or Thurs saying I had till the end of the trading session to close out my Dec position. grrr . . .

So I have a full-sized Dec 06 silver ECBOT future. When do I have to do rollover? If I read the regs right, it's the fourth business day prior to the first strike notice, which is Nov 29th. Does that mean I have to close it out tomorrow, Wed? I was hoping to buy March on a dip, then...

After December the most liquid month is March. The bid spread on that has also been ridiculous. I've been looking to rollover my dec silver into march, by finding a dip to buy march while waiting for a rise to sell dec, but it hasn't come. This rollover feels more tricky to accomplish...
