This is like any other average down method or progression type betting system. The theory is that 1-of-4 trades will win, but when you go 0-for-4...
I was short ES01Z. I had a profit target buy stop 1142.75 (one tick above low of opening range) and a buy limit at 1141.75 (three ticks below...
Yeah, but what happens if you find out tonight that you got filled after all. That's the main reason I'm so upset, if IB can't even verify if I'm...
Def, the problem is when IB starts handing out fills after the market closes when many traders have already made additional trades/offset their...
tymjr, what charting platform you using? That graphs are neat. I like them.
Not to mention that if you're really concerned you can place stoploss on Globex overnight to help sleep easier. Although I would only place stops...
It depends on your time horizon and risk/reward. Fixed profit targets can be very lucrative. Say you are looking at 2-3 min bars and are using a...

IB's Globex connection went down today for over an hour, during which time two of my stops were hit but never filled. I called the help desk and...
And another question- what happens if I'm not at my desk and my sellstop was hit, if IB's "interface to Globex" is down does my stop order get...
So IB/Globex is down, now what? It went down at 1:13pm EST today, right as my sell stop was hit. IB says I'm net long, but I should be net...
Well for one a lot of people are watching the gaps, so there's the self-fulfilling prophecy thing. But more importantly, a lot of people...
