This rally has been carefully planned and set up right from the opening move when Pandit's memo was leaked. The timing was chosen to start an uptrend before the Fed announcement and various other reports that would sustain the rising chart. The upslope brings in more technical traders , which...

Didn't you know there was a gender reversal taking place among the young in Western societies ? After all the self-esteem encouragement given to young women, they all want to be the "bad boy", and the young males have realized the best life is finding a good looking and hopefully rich sugar mommy.

It might be a good idea to wait and see what this will do to the internet before trading tomorrow. http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/djf500/200903301000DOWJONESDJONLINE000317_FORTUNE5.htm SAN FRANCISCO -(Dow Jones)- Security experts have sounded the alarm - and many others are...

I sure hope you're right about BAC .

I was using the 882 version with linux and it worked much better than the newer ones. I asked whether the old versions would still function even if non-supported and received the following message from IB " You are correct, once the version is de-supported we will no longer allow logins from...

I'd like to claim that $100 and I nominate this comment from stock777

I tried shorting DTO at $250 yesterday but couldn't get any stock with IB.

I thought USO might be a good way to slowly build a position in oil , and I started buying (very small) when oil went under $60. My position is still quite small and of course underwater and now I'm wondering if this ETF is broken. Do any of the more knowledgeable members think this ETF will...

How sad that Research In Motion has to hire someone to do this .

I don't trade oil futures but usually follow them and trade USO . Would someone who understands the transition from one month to the next , specifically the expiration about to take place in Jan contract, please explain how the $5 difference with the Feb contract will be resolved. Will the...

I don't set alarms for these very often, but I noticed that if you don't put in 3 digits after the decimal(apostrophe or whatever it is) , the program will put in it's own strange value - usually different from what you want. I think it works OK for bid, ask and last trade - just try 3 digits...

I use it all the time and it works very well. If you set it for currencies though you have to set it for either bid or ask alarms - not last trade price.

Hewlett-Packard was scheduled for earnings on Nov.24 and conveniently released this morning when the futures were looking kind of negative. Was there a reason they announced today instead of waiting a week ?

Cramer can't come out and say it because of obvious implications, but has often hinted this is not one of the chosen survivors.

What do you think will happen to the market when the GOP hit on Obama takes place ?

Did anyone see the move in Google. I had a 10 share orders sitting way outside the trading range and got a sell at $450 and a buy at $351 for a nice $988 profit !!!! Will it hold up or be busted ?

I tried TWS ver. 884 with java1.6.0_07 with Vista and the time showed 9 seconds behind my system time on startup. When Vista boots I think it also checks for a timeserver . After 9 minutes and approx. 40 seconds, the time on the TWS screen advanced 9 seconds in one jump and showed the same...

G'day Kiwi I'm not too familiar with Windows or Vista because I've been using Linux for quite a while. When it boots , it starts a program called ntpd which is a network time protocol daemon. This process checks the time server every 64 seconds and updates the time if necessary.

I boot my computer every morning when I trade and it syncs my time with a timeserver online. When I start TWS (ver. 882) the time it shows is 7 to 8 seconds behind my system time, BUT within 5 to 10 minutes both times are identical. I don't know why it does this , maybe someone from IB could...
