I think you need to take a closer look at your order log because not a single one makes sense. Are you sending these with a TIF of OPG and routed...
Nice call.
Nope. Still use them every day. If you can't find them on your order line you need to enable them on your feature selector.
When I used IB for OO's I used Esignal charting, L2, and T&S.
There's no way for me to know for sure, since I don't know him. All I can say is what I had that day and point out that you can't assume he was...
I went back and looked. My ratio of longs:shorts was right about 1:1 Friday. You really can't assume that you will be short on a big up gap...
You do understand that just because the futures were up huge before the open does not necessarly mean you will be short, correct? He was in this...
2Mil shares and he grosses 500K. That's 25cents per share. Make it a round trip shares and he's down to 12.5 cents per share. I'd take that any...
Correct, I have never traded in an office. I trade at the same firm as you, but remote. My only exposure to other people's numbers are what I see...
1.5
Here's something that occurred to me. Even though I put up bigger numbers than them Friday and am in the same $ league (give or take) as them...

I have multiple PC's. I run a T1 and a cable connection. Speed/reliablity critical stuff runs on the t1, not so critical stuff on the cable.
I run 2 separate routers and 2 NICs in each PC. XP does an amazingly good job of switching over, just a few seconds. And it's easy to force...
On days like Friday, you can accomplish a heck of a lot just by parking limit orders out there. The swings were so big, there's a good chance you...
Correct on your second paragraph. And that scenario does happen from time to time.
As a guy who posted a fairweather blotter today I'll respond. I fully admit I haven't posted regularly in the P/L thread in quite some time. I...
That's a good question. Apparently the burden is on the firm, not the specialist. You'd think it would be easy for the specialist to manage, no?
Surdo is correct. There's a whole strategy built around this concept. Your firm might not allow it however. You have to have the controls in place...
I haven't posted here in a long time, and I hate fairweather posters, but this is worth sharing. About 129K after commish. The OPG day we've...
