On that note I'm going to start posting my p/l. I usually only trade the pm session and it won't be every day. Today should have been a big winner but ended up with smallish loss. -34 David.

Just wanted to share my view on this. I'm an engineer and I believe I have found trading difficult because of it, although not the reason quoted. Personally I have no problem accepting a trade may or may not work out, my problem has been my need to be clever. I have many times passed on a trade...

Hi, I've recently discovered that because the base currency of my IB account is GBP, the cash from any USD trades I make isn't automatically converted back to GBP once I close the position, so I effectively hold a GBP/USD FX position after every trade. To get around this, every night I've...

beatiful, works perfectly now. thanks a lot.

Hi, I've sent IB a message about this but i'm not expecting a reply for few days so thought someone here may be able to help... I've just got a new vista laptop and TWS wont get past the loading screen. I've tried the latest version and the previous version and both dont work, and i'm...

Hi, I'm just wondering how people manage to fit trading in with a full time job? I'm in the uk and sometimes get a spare hour in the afternoon to trade the US open, but the office is full of distractions and I'm constantly missing things... My only other option is to take a laptop to a...

How can you call giving wrong information being too helpful? Ok I will, but as I say I have no problem with the length of time it took.

OldTrader - My issue isn't with the length of time it took, but with how hard it is to get answers to urgent questions. The whole point of this post was to find out how long I should expect to wait. I asked many times for some indication but only got some idea from answers on this thread...

look at the dates, that was last week.
