CMC Markets have reinstated my position also :)

For what it's worth, I had a stop loss and and a sell-on-stop order with IG Markets for the dow at 12,450, which WEREN'T triggered thank God...

Yes it does! Can I ask where you got that quote from (had a quick look at the CME site but saw nothing). I'm going to send it to CMC!

I imagine there would be a lot of people out there who aren't happy... including me! I'm going to pursue this further... If anyone else is in a similar situation and has luck with their provider, please let me know! Kris

I just got this explanation from CMC markets... any advice on how to respond would be appreciated! Dear Kris, Thank you for contacting CMC Markets Client Services. Further to our earlier conversation, I have confirmed with our dealers that the fluctuation for the NDAQ100 is a representation...

I had an NDX position stopped out at 1885 and am NOT happy :/ I'm waiting for CMC Markets to get back to me about this one. Is there a precedent for when a similar situation has occured in the past? I imagine there would be quite a few people who've been stopped out given the SPX and DJI went...

Scratch that, just found it :) Will take a look.

I don't know if it's "over-optimised" or just "optimised" - from the discussions in the forums it's clear that the developers are expert statisticians and have created a complex algorithm - I reckon they would know if they were curve-fitting or not (and hence whether their long-term aspirations...

Merlin Magic Merlin's got the last 11 days in row correct, which is impressive given the volatility. I know the system had a rough patch a couple of months ago but I think that's behind it. There's a forum where all the subsribers and system developers chat and all the guys are pretty genuine -...

Not sure... I haven't been paying too much attention to it really. How've you found it? I've been using another system which is working like Magic the last few weeks - http://www.themerlingroup-inc.com/ It's an EOD system for trading the Nasdaq100 index (via futures, QQQ etc etc.) It's got...

www.traders101.com is also down - I think it's run by the same people and that DowStomper used to be part of the traders101 site before it was spun off last year. I wonder what's going on... ... anyway, I hope you all held on to your short trade.

Ben, I think you're being a bit harsh. You can see how what happened over the weekend can be confusing to people. erikl - I've noticed this before - once, and it was also over a weekend (I've only been following DowStomper for a few months). I think the best thing to do if there is a signal on...

dowtrader Interesting - the dowtrader/insight IMS moved below 35 yesterday and is now poised to move up. Isn't it crazy that even with such weak internals the market kept going up over the past week? Yes - you've got to love the sublime chaos of the market. Meanwhile, clarification of the...

I didn't have a stop in place with DS but on IGMarkets the high for the day was 13162 so it would have stopped out. Glad I didn't! Even today, you can tell the market "should" go down, but should rarely seems to turn into "does". You've got to love this game... Re systems: before you try any...

Insight/Clickcharts Does anyone believe this? Posted on the Dowtrader blog: The Dow Trader said... DT Bulletin - Saturday April 28th 2007: We have now reached our desired quota/membership level for the dowTrader. Having excessive members following the same strategy may compromise the quality...
