------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been waiting two hours for someone to put some duct tape on a couple wires or whatever they have to do to get some data flashing.

I had two signals , of course I would have made two "perfect" trades. LOL

I thought we were going to tag 1.3762 Friday in the early AM, but NO ... So I figured THIS open would Get'er Done!

And now I'm waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting and waiting............. for a connection

Never trade without a backup broker....what would you do if you were stuck in a position watching the market move against you and blow up your account?
