Hi @IBKR , I really enjoy waking up in the morning finding out that you've had another issue with a software update, the 2nd in a month
This time, your issue cancelled all open buy/sell orders and stop losses overnight
After 7yrs of using your platform, I'm quickly losing trust
Years ago I walked into the NQ pit while we were taking out the highs. I asked the older much more experienced trader next to me, “what happened, why are we rallying”? He looked at me like I was a moron and said “who cares, more buyers then sellers”.
Today a trader in my group reminded me of that when the ES popped 30 pts. I asked why are we rallying, he said, “more buyers than sellers”
Trade what is in front of you. Keep it simple. Don’t overthink it. Have a plan, don’t over analyze the plan, react to it without overreacting.
During the trading day, I am not paid to think, I am paid to react to my plan, to my process.
@DigitalPersona9 I agree with you but it’s not a problem for me. I don’t care. I have no control over who is holding things up. So I will continue to trade my process. When we break out I will hammer it.
@DonMiami3 Really all markets have been for years. Just not as blatant as today. They have made it easy and all of them are benefiting. Retail trying to compete has very little chance
@DigitalPersona9 Gold is the last thing even countries can sell quickly - us treasuries we could get cash for in minutes at my bank.
So no, not what’s happening
@LongTplexTrader and actually the order was not that big. Just big compared to what was seen the previous few hours. They know how to hold up a market. Lets see who uses this for Liquidity
@LongTplexTrader They knew we were probably headed to massive down day. At 7:05ish this big order came in drove ES up 200 handles and NQ 1000 when it was all said and done. So I guess they achieved their objective. Look at the footprint many levels 0 traded.
@Ross__Hendricks 1000 pt move up in NQ 200 point move in ES in about 5 minutes. Took very little volume. Lets see if anyone takes advantage of that liquidity
Trump out with the greatest TACO of all time… of course, couldn’t handle oil over $100 or stonks below the 200-day
Let’s see if Iran will let him walk away with his tail between his legs
