Have you ever been Jennaed? If you have, I think you'll agree with me that she is worth at least the podium in this thread. Ciao Guido

If this were a literature forum, you would be chasing out published authors in order to prevent them plugging their books. I'm asking the censors: what are you trying to achieve? Once you asked mr XYZ (moderator of a commercial chatroom or whatever else) to show you his/her results and he/she...

What if positions decide "pipping" in the wrong direction? Will you have too keep them open for the rest of your life? Or just until they get back their office in the WTC? Very, very fishy Ciao Guido

I am using Tiny Personal Firewall; it is true that it takes some knowledge of ports, protocols and stuff, but I must say that it doesn't take a PhD to get the basic concepts that are needed to configure TPF properly. When I downloaded it my expertise on the subject was close to non-existant...

I cannot see a difference between the behavior of the terrorists you despise and your wish. I hate what happened in NY because nobody should take innocent people's lives, but the life of an innocent person in Kabul or everywhere else (even in nazi Germany) is exactly as important as the life of...

My default choice is BEST_ECN, unless ECNs are too far from the inside, in which case I try to get filled via BEST. It usually works, mainly because I seldom go beyond the 500 shares threshold. Ciao Guido

I don't think you need a reason in order to think you have an edge. You make money == you have an edge Hope I had a CONSISTENT one :D Ciao Guido

I consider IB's commission structure a good enough reason to put up with their shortcomings, therefore I simply trade without the help of stop orders (I just set them up when I leave the keyboard in order to reduce the extent of an always possible disaster), but I'd like to point out a couple of...

One vote for a complete re-think of the stop triggering mechanism. BTW, if anyone thinks that the stop orders work as advertised, make some tests, and then think again. My 2c Guido

Thnks everybody, I will give BEST_ECN stops a chance - and hopefully I will be able to go to the toilet without worries :D Ciao Guido

I don't want to touch all other aspects of the discussion, but I must say that you are spelling the truth: a display without those fast changing coloured lines is just not as interesting! ;) Ciao Guido

Yesterday the SUPERSOES pilot went finally live. Did anyone follow any of the stocks that are part of it? I didn't (but today I'll have NEWP in my sights), but, with this thread, I wanted to stimulate discussion/sharing of insights into the new system. TIA to all posters Guido

...or a great clinical case for a psychiatrist Ciao Guido

The Rock guy must have found the secret of eternal youth: in fact he sounds much like a teenager. Ciao Guido

Babak, the problem with naz stops is that it takes one life and a half for them to become active; if you use stop limit and the stock moves quickly against you chances are that the stop will be blown, and possibly your account with it. Ciao Guido

Even though I found lolo's joke not particularly funny (but not insulting to anyone, unless I missed something), I see the comments quoted above as a not-so-subtle example of racial slur. Any comments from the moderator? Guido <---- Italian, eating spaghetti and all the rest

Since I moved my account to IB, I stopped using stop orders in naz stocks because of the well known problem. Have the problems been solved? If not, is there a schedule for having them sorted out? TIA Guido

Sorry for the botched link: the right one is http://www.interactivebrokers.com Ciao Guido

Joytrader, I trade from Italy, therefore I have the same limitations (if not more) you have in trading the US markets with a US broker. I have a small account and, yes, I have been trading with Datek as you. I realised, as you are doing, that if you are not trading a gazillion shares your...

Same here - luckilly I had the previous installation file (which I will treasure from now on and I managed to undo the update. Def. lat us know when this all important bug will be ironed out. Ciao Guido
