    yeah, if you discount the uuuuuuuh-gleeeee down shadow on the 12:30 5-min bar, it just looks like it broke from the 667ish area with nice, neat consecutive descending down bars.

    of course, there is that little 13-pt downshadow ... ???

  7. Yeah, somebody bought a few barrels of oil and the chicken shit daytraders get out of their positions with a loss and go back to their regular job at McD's.

  9. Nope. I hit transmit and absolutely nothing happened. After it came back up to the 664 area I cancelled my market order as I didn't know what would come next.

    Did anyone at IB get filled on this one? I wonder if they block new orders or something in a situation like that as it could lessen their headaches in terms of straightening out busted trades.

    That's just conjecture. I'm just telling you what happened on my screens.

  10. Hmmm, another nice free money trade. Wait for a clerical error in one of the E-mini products and load up on the others. :D
