the standalone version? it's fine over here.

Can't get IB to do a thing. I'm calling tech support. I even dragged out IE. Phooie.

i rarely long or short flat. but your cover point is close to my go-long point, so maybe we'll both end up happy again today.

Indeed, this seems to be the case, we have collectively predicted the turn, perhaps we should team up !, although a reversal of positions is presuming to much for me considering I'm out way too early the majority of the time. It was more a level of doubt for me and a moment to see how 9300 was dealt with..
 
Still holding from yesterday (9339). I believe I will show a profit later today. I have a list of stocks and they are all showing signs of going up. Been trading ES meantime.
 
I got it to open before I got them on the phone, but I can't get any quotes in it, so it said I have to subscribe to stuff. Customer Service there is so offensive, I don't think I'll be able to maintain an account with them for long, but the bottom line is that if the account was funded today (and they should receive funds in a few hours) I can't subscribe to data feed till tomorrow. I can't even get quotes there without all that red tape, after I already filled out a thousand forms for them. Plus they charge $10 a month for the feed, which they refund if you spend $30 on commissions a month, and of course I would ordinarily, but not this month, because I won't be able to trade there until the last day or two of the month. And I never had a broker that charged for feeds like this. That's not nice! I put in for the subscriptions before I knew that I shouldn't sign up till Tuesday. But, nothing can happen there till tomorrow, at the earliest.

I haven't reached my targets yet, so no paper trading here. Any chance I can change my targets?

Oh, you're tough!

Do you think I can I open a (paper) trade if I get a signal late in the day?Many times there's a lot of movement in the last hour. Today I had no signal so far, of course.
