I agree that 100 lotters offer lessons too. But on this thread only blotters are allowed. So what do you really expect to learn from them here?...
No offense to Swing Out and Pete, but I am not inspired by them. In fact, I wonder why they have chosen this forum rather than starting journals...
I'll vouch for Patrick too. He's for real. Our strategies do overlap somewhat and here's how I did today. Both you and Corey make valid...
The older you get, the more you see, the more cynical you become. You don't get rich buying into the mainstream view. If you need a cynicism...
You mean other than being long commodities through his commodity index fund for the last 5 or 6 years? I for one have done quite well for...
I mentioned this a few pages back but never got a response. When placing orders through the ActiveX API, orders for shorts that are rejected...
I agree with the other posters that the locate is way too slow. It would be nice to be able to send manual locate requests premarket and get...

I am highly doubtful orders are being held more than a millisecond and can't imagine them holding an order long enough to interfere with an...
This was correct a couple years ago, but is incorrect now. Routing to SMART will route to NYSE and AMEX correctly for the opening print. In fact,...
My intuition says the exact opposite. If there's automatic (irrational) buying on the open of the first day of the month, I probably want to be...
Been a fairly quiet month. Not a lot of notable action. 6 fills today +1370
I'd like to be able to specify that API generated orders don't change the order focus in a window. In other words if I'm manually entering an...
I think the only way to know for sure is to switch and see what your commissions come out to be. It's not like you're going to broke finding out....
You've been very consistent lately Chiguy (no jinx intended). Good job!
How does IB handle positions with MOC orders? Is it possible for IB to liquidate a position between 3:40 and 4:00 even though an MOC order is in?...
