hey Kiwi: did you have any order delays with IB when the market got real fast this afternoon? no disconnects like last night, but i had orders that were 'acknowledged by server' take 5 seconds after that to execute even though T&S shows them in the money the whole time. look a loss, got it back (luckily) with IB's 5 second executions and called it a night.
these are the kind of days that used to be so much fun and so profitable that i literally felt like i was stealing- the $ was that easy.
now, i (and my acct) are so beaten down that even when the market is calling me for dinner, i'm too afraid to come get it and/or i flinch after 15 points and bail out, or otherwise find a way to not get paid and/or lose my ass. throw in my ongoing connection and execution issues with IB, and i'm pretty much a basket case every time i enter a trade...
