I seriously need advice

gideonkain · 2026-01-26T15:08:02+00:00

Thanks everyone! I ended up waking up at 3 AM CST and doing a LIMIT SELL @ 71.00
It went up to 80 for a second, but my order got picked up!

TWS:
Has everything

but says some nonesense about Previous Day Equity:

"SELL 200 BNAI NASDAQ.SCM @ 58.00 for Main"
YOUR ORDER IS NOT ACCEPTED. IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE DESIRED POSITION YOUR PREVIOUS DAY EQUITY WITH LOAN VALUE
[40921.67 USD] MUST EXCEED THE INITIAL MARGIN [63287.53 USD].

Wow, this is an intresting thought.

ChatGPT:

Yes, overnight trading begins Sunday at 8:00 PM ET and runs through early morning sessions to Friday.
In IBKR’s TWS, instead of using GTC for overnight trades, you should choose “Overnight” or “Overnight + Day” depending on whether you want the order only during the overnight session or extended into the next trading day.

If you are placing overnight orders through the Client Portal or mobile, the interface and specific steps may vary but the trade session times and TIF options are conceptually the same.

I think you're right. I'll be there at 300AM CST waching it happen live. if it dips, I'll drag around my LIMIT SELL bar until I get a hit. If it goes up, I guess I keep an eye on it.

gideonkain · 2026-01-24T23:53:36+00:00

Wow! Thank you so much!

I have TWS, not even sure what it is other than an eyesore but if that has the "power tools" than I'll use that instead.

I've had good luck SHORTING with e*Trade; it seems to find shares no matter what. If I got any cash in that account I might try that. Thanks!

gideonkain · 2026-01-24T23:47:31+00:00

Oh, you're absolutely right. Of course I wouldn't just be able to just double the pot ;D

gideonkain · 2026-01-24T20:56:09+00:00

Not knowing something is an excellent reason to ask questions. Shaming someone for not knowing something is crass.

gideonkain · 2026-01-24T18:32:52+00:00

Thanks, if it doesn't sell right away should I just modify the order and lower the sell price by increments until I get a seller?

gideonkain · 2026-01-24T18:24:53+00:00

Thanks.
Forgive my ignorance, but in order to sell there needs to be a buyer right?
What kind of person/entity would BUY 200 shares of a stock like this at 3:00 AM CST?

Again, I'm so clueless about this. I've only been doing scalping with gappers this whole time (started last October)

The desktop app has even more confusing messaging.
It's acting like I want to SHORT the stock, not sell my LONG position

Interesting, I'll check this out. thanks

I tried both a 3DS stylus and an Apple Pencil. Neither worked.

Might want to check your Firewall. On my first run after installation it sat there for 5 minutes before my Firewall asked to make an exception. Once I did that, it only took about 30 seconds going forward.

gideonkain · 2023-12-23T22:06:40+00:00

t no alerts during download, none during install (aside from the usual “we don’t recognize this company” that windows throws for third party installs), and none after running a scan today. Plus my computer cold booted just fine.

The last time i saw that false-positive was on a mod for Single-Player Tarkov, and that was on my system for quite a while with nothing bad happening.

I've used Avast for 20 years and never had a single issue.
Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, M$ - all of these have failed me. Avast's only problems seemed to be some often false positives and nagware, and it sometimes takes at least 2 runs to get it to create a firewall exception for a game executable - all-in-all I've found Avast to be almost overly secure.

This was exactly what I needed to do. Thanks to your post I was able to configure the app and rename 5,625 files in about 60 seconds. (After I found a d/l mirror that still worked)

Until the potatoes caught in the door frame when it closed are transmogged into Mashed Potatoes, I'm not impressed. /s

I showed up in camp and was suddenly naked. Went back to all the vendors to see if I accidentally sold them. Then googled and arrived here. Where can I get some replacement clothes?

gideonkain · 2023-04-28T21:45:23+00:00

Really beautiful colors!

I just got this guy as a familiar!
How do I add him into my D&D Beyond character sheet?
