[11:14] {Threei} SBAC is moving nowhere annoyingly fast
[11:14] {magoo} i feel market goes green...just a feeling
[11:14] {Threei} but it held well while NASDAQ retreated
[11:14] {Threei} with with .79 stop I am comfortable holding it
[11:18] {magoo} .20 cents in aapl..u on your own
[11:19] {magoo} i still in
[11:23] {bruce} tried a laser autostop in aldn this am - didn't fire even 20c below stop level - obviously can't be trusted
[11:24] {Threei} via OMS?
[11:24] {magoo} really?
[11:24] {bruce} you bet mags
[11:24] {bruce} yep
[11:24] {bruce} oms
[11:25] {bruce} stop was .01
[11:25] {bruce} stock hit .75 and still hadn't fired
[11:25] {bruce} disabled it and exited manually
[11:25] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} thats happened to me a few times...but I think that happens with most execution software
[11:26] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} can't be trusted
[11:26] {bruce} too bad - would be nice to know you can take a bathroom break with a trade on and not have to worry about getting killed
[11:26] {Threei} bruce, can you sent me the settings you use for a stop?
[11:26] {Threei} want to test it
[11:26] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} I think it works better with thick stocks
[11:28] {dino} most do
[11:28] {bruce} action buy - speed fixed - price indicator - stop - price 16.01
[11:28] {bruce} those were settngs vad
[11:28] {bruce} severl trades executed below those levels
[11:28] {Threei} buy?
[11:29] {bruce} yes -
[11:30] {bruce} if had made mistake and set sell it would have added shares since was at 26. 30 when I entered trade
[11:30] {bruce} not big hit - traded it small - very disappointing though
[11:31] {Threei} I am lost
[11:31] {Threei} you were setting a stop for long position?
[11:31] {bruce} would like to have multiple trades on with some safeguard against huge market move
[11:31] {bruce} yes
[11:31] {Threei} so how can it be buy?
[11:32] {bruce} sheesh - sorry - it was a sell stop
[11:33] {Threei} you sure you are not making this mistake when entering it?...
[11:33] {Threei} you just gave an expkanation to why buy and not sell
[11:33] {bruce} yes - neterd and set stop after
[11:34] {magoo} aapl should blast off here...RISKY
[11:35] {Threei} jj, look dcc please
[11:36] {bruce} it was long trade
[11:36] {bruce} set sell stop below entry
[11:37] {bruce} just turned it back on and sure enough it sold
[11:38] {magoo} .30 cents on second aapl {blast off call}
[11:38] {magoo} took .07
[11:41] {bruce} nice one mags

[11:45] {Threei} tough one, not sure
[11:45] {Threei} tried OMS stop on SBAC, wortked like charm
[11:45] {bruce} k - heavy resistnace there for sure
[11:46] {dino} aldn stopped -.28, done w/it
[11:46] {bruce} sometimes works - sometimes not - fired for me a momeent ago when I accidentally turned it on
[11:48] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} in the past I remember it giving me some sort of error message on some really thin-fast stocks
[11:49] {bruce} you use laser too thtt?
[11:51] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} yes
[11:52] {bruce} k
[11:52] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} I used TWS on IB before and had similiar issues with their stops as well
[11:54] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} also on swiftrades's prosperpro
[11:55] {bruce} k- so you think it may have to do w depth of stock ? aldn definitely a thin one
[11:56] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} yes , thats my theory...
[11:56] {dino} same here bruce, also, on nyse's it happens more
[11:57] {judijim} be back after "lunch" break

[12:49] {Threei} anyone went for FEED, feel free to take profit and change your diapers
[13:07] {Threei} just 4 cents till CPST reaches 1:1,
[13:08] {magoo} 4 cents and 4 hours he he
[13:08] {Threei} and with blazing speed it moves, risking to burn its skin, it may even happen this millenium
[13:08] {Threei} but don't count on it too much
[13:08] {Threei} next millenium is just as likely
[13:13] {magoo} vad, what quote server u using?
