The ES moves overnight and the pit session opens at 9:30. How long does it take them to sync up? And does the ES sync to the pit or vice versa?...
If you don't need the leverage then ETFs are good. SSO gives you 2x the return of SPY. If you like leverage but not as much as futures, you're...
This is an excellent point. I hadn't thought of that.
If closing the position is the worst case then that's fine with me. I was worried I'd have a guy banging on my door with a truck full of...
What happens if we forget? In the case of S&P, do we end up with 1 share of each company in our account? ;) Or even worse, Gold. Would gold...
From what I see the margin for ES is $2k. $2k to control $64k is not bad. With SSO, $2k will control $4k worth. Is this correct? I'm waiting...
The positions with which I noticed the problem were in fact held more than 1 day. I think it is a problem with multi-day holds. I'm glad to...
In my case I was looking at the realized P&L on the portfolio tab, after the market close. Next time it happens I will look in the account...
I've seen it both ways.
Thanks for the info. Have you verified that your statements are correct? I will do so tomorrow. It's a shame their P&L is incorrect. How...
885.7, should be the latest or the avant latest. I always upgrade when prompted.
Several days now I've noticed that the P&L reported by IB's TWS is incorrect. I keep a journal in excel and I'm finding descepencies daily....
This is for a long term hold and I'm quite bullish on the S&P long term. I didn't think of the expenses, that's a very good point. I'm...
I've got a position in SSO which is a 2x leveraged ETF for the S&P 500. I'm curious what are the pros and cons of leveraged ETFs versus futures?...
This is correct, it's around $300. But you'd have to type the symbols into another chart package to see the individual stocks. I find it goes...
I signed up for a 7 day trial at IBD for their industry groups package. I thought it'd take twice as long to go through twice as many industry...
Very cool, thank you very much! I can't get the symbols to pull up with Fidelity or IB, but I can get them at stockcharts.com so I may sign...
I'm looking for industry group charts. I've analyzed the 9-10 sectors and now I'd like to refine my analysis to industry groups. I see IBD...
I'm wondering the same thing. I plan to implement a really simple strategy, something that doesn't even work say ma crossover, and try testing...
I get it too and I'm still trying to figure it out. I think it has something to do with running TWS twice on the same machine or even different...
