Finally a green day. Barely sick any more either, just a persistent cough. Tried to work out but sucked big time. Couldn't even run for 40...
better day for automated trades, most losses today came from short S&P and investments Auto Trades: 3168 Short Market: -3440 Investments:...
Even when you think it can't get any worse, it sure can. Today 80% of my swing trades went against me. That's hard to do considering there's about...
Cause the second you ramp up the automated trades they disappoint. I increased my size on the automated trades which had decent performance so...
Good idea, I'll do that for new trades. The problem is I have pretty large positions on already on the existing ones which mess up my P&L.
I agree with your first statement, the second one depends on how you're using futures. I don't day trade them, I use them as a directional...
Just under 2%
Had another terrible week, down 9k1. My automated trading didn't do well this week, the remaining loss came from S&P and Nasdaq rally. I'm sick...
Finished the week up 7k3. Unfortunately still 2k down for the year but at least significantly less of a roller coaster than the previous weeks...
Liking this S&P action here. On vacation in Europe and back to break even for the year today. Let's hope it doesn't get messed up tomorrow ;)

Haven't heard of this guy but the kindle price is 9 bucks and it has good ratings, sounds like a good idea to get it and read on the beach. Thanks...
I wonder if brokers were informed or if you had a long VX position on IB and it dropped 50% it may have triggered a forced liquidation. IB isn't...
Good question. I think cause the downside risk is significantly higher than the upside potential but evidently it's not working out
I think it's strange either way. It's unlikely that the vx dropped 50% after being this low to begin with, but it's also strange that they would...
How many here think this is a bug or other serious issue or a real quote? I'm not sure who'd sell you those futures if all other markets are...
I still think this is a bad quote or a serious bug/issue somewhere else. It's not that volatility was @ 40 and dropped to 20 with a huge S&P run...
I tried, but couldn't get one on IB or TOS.
I always get confused when holiday scheduled change the standard trading hours. I logged into my account today and first everything looked good...
saw the same thing. CBOE, IB and Tos all show the same quotes
