I had an issue with I-Zone showing 30 second delay
in T&S ...I use AlphaTrade for equities now...
I also have a backup laptop with web based trading
open just in case, also hooked up to a land line.
If this all fails, I pull out the .40 cal and fire into open
mouth....LOL
Let's all work on Romik's dime for a while...sure deserves
a break..

Taken from a recent post on ET:
"SPX cash single barrier, no touch -- 1277.00
Premium: $265,000
Payout: $500,000 [includes prem paid]
Expires: May 29, 2006
Negative edge: a lot
Strike/barrier volatility: 15%
Symmetrical hedge: -300 June ES futures
Initial hedge: -220 June ES futures from 1297.50
Weak downside^2 [g/d] short exotic straddle
Date/time: 3:45 EDT
Looking for a bit of upside to 1305.00 on ES over the next two sessions and a retrace to 1285.00. Short 220 against the barrier.
SPX gamma trade, exotic, no touch, synthetic straddle"

Time to get a squawk box. At least you will still hear what's the latest quotes from the pit.
I use realtimefutures.com, i never miss a single tick.
Yesterday was the first time I experienced emotional based trading, after all the problems happened with feeds/crashes/connections. That was real nasty experience, if someone is reading this and looks at some live calls here, sees some consistent PnL perhaps, trust me, what I went through yesterday was very close shave to wiping the whole account if I didn't stop, went on the balcony to have a cigarette and just paused there for a long moment...came back into office, shut down everything and walked away. Today my mind is back to normal. I never thought I could be so affected by a loss, which I could not control in a way and tried to get it back ASAP, it was like something totally came over my rational decision making and BANG! Well, this shit happens I suppose and Ohh, bullish divergence happened @ 1294.50 and up we went, nice (chart attached).
Anyway, all the best to all, today is a DIFFERENT day.
