TradeKing is the same way. There is an FYI that the server hosting center in NJ where they, and other brokerages, have their servers is having an A/C issue causing computer problems. Expected to be working by market open (hopefully). They're running out of time.
U.S. Driving Hits Historic High in Year's First Half (USDOT)
American driving has doubled over last generation
WASHINGTON – New estimates released today by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) show that U.S. driving topped 1.54 trillion miles in the first half of 2015, beating the previous record – 1.5 trillion, set in June 2007. This is more than double the amount driven during the same period in 1981, continuing a trend of America’s driving mileage doubling nearly every generation.
The new data, published in FHWA’s latest “Traffic Volume Trends” report, a monthly estimate of U.S. road travel, show that 275.13 billion miles were driven last June, the most ever in June of any year and the highest VMT for the first half of any year – reaffirming calls for increased investment in transportation infrastructure as demand on the nation’s highway system grows.
According to FHWA’s Traffic Volume Trends report, the nation’s driving has increased for 16 months in a row.
The June 2015 report also includes seasonally-adjusted data, which enable VMT comparisons with May or any other month in any year, from the USDOT’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Analysis of seasonally-adjusted VMT is an alternative to analysis of unadjusted VMT, which traditionally uses comparisons of a month to the same month in previous years to determine trends.
The seasonally-adjusted vehicle miles traveled for June 2015 were 261.9 billion miles, a 3.4 percent increase – or 8.7 billion more VMT – compared to the previous June and a .1 percent decrease – or 2 million more miles traveled – compared with May 2015. The estimates include passenger vehicle, bus and truck travel.
At 63.1 billion unadjusted VMT, traffic in the North Central – 12 states including North Dakota, Ohio and Missouri – was the nation’s most-traveled region for the month representing the seventh consecutive month of VMT growth. The Northeast, a region of nine states stretching from Pennsylvania to Maine, showed the smallest growth – rising only 1.1 percent, or 38.8 billion VMT, compared to the same month a year earlier.
At 10.8 percent, Hawaii led the nation with the largest unadjusted single-state traffic percent increase compared to the same month a year earlier, followed by Colorado at 7.8 percent and Montana at 7.5 percent.
The new figures confirm the trends identified in “Beyond Traffic,” a USDOT report issued earlier this year, which projects a 43 percent increase in commercial truck shipments and population growth of 70 million by 2045. The report examines the trends and choices facing America’s transportation infrastructure over the next three decades, including a rapidly growing population, increasing freight volume, demographic shifts in rural and urban areas, and a transportation system that is facing more frequent extreme weather events. Increased gridlock nationwide can be expected unless changes are made in the near-term.

The api makes you pay for the report.
When NYSE closed at 16:00 EDT WTI was at $43.41 so it is down from the close.
The triangle is getting narrower. Currently right at the bottom line. Lets see if it bounces...
Sure it can. Several of the other Credit Suisse Velocityshares etf/etns have done so.
Those higher lows and lower highs are about to converge. Winter is coming and increased demand for electrical generation makes me think the breakout will be up.
Dang, you've been MIA for a while! Where did you buy that you sold for $1.9?
Starting one day last week the streamer was categorized my stocks into groups based on exchange.
This is UNBELIEVABLY annoying. I don't care what exchange they are traded on but would rather have them ALL sorted alphabetically, or by high/low price, volume, etc.
How can we turn this off????
Great move, glad you're in the green!
That makes sense.
Huh? It was $42 in March
We just bounced off of early April resistance. Lets see if this holds.
Cramer is, very often, a contrarian indicator...
Wow, just wow. Sooo much money is going to be able to be made when this finishes falling.
Which is completely meaningless since in Maech WTI was $42 and today it is $49.xx
Lots of decay...
That sounds like a good plan.
Don't forget, these are supposed to be traded short term, not buy and hold.
Don't get greedy man, you're so close. Sell for a small loss and trade your way to profit in short order!
If this rebounds, who knows how long you'll have to wait to see DWTI @ 112...
Damn! That sucks man!
Oh yeah. I've followed not this and USLV for a couple of years.
True. But... the dollar at ~100 is not sustainable. At least the past 20 years the average has been mid to high 80s
Dang, down $.25 today. In at $2.5
Yep, it has been a GREAT summer so far in Northern Illinois! Now back to seasonal appropriate weather :\
And.... silver is down again. Another good entry point.
Is this just the usual Tuesday run-up for the Wednesday post-EIA report crash??
Gap to fill NG $2.77-$2.8 ... maybe
Come on $50.50!
What time is the report out today?
The issue isn't Greece as much as it is strength and confidence in the E.U.
Can't use a UWTI chart when charting due to decay; use a WTI chart (the commodity UWTI is based on).
WTI was $42 during the UWTI March support you refer to. Today it is $50.60.
Lots of decay...
You really think the FED will have the balls to raise the rate??
Coming up to an awesome entry point soon. Fell WAY to hard WAY to fast. Too many days of 10-15% losses in a row. Be smart and get ready to sell those $113s at a break even or small gain soon.
This is the one commodity that seems to be holding its own today (only 5% loss). Wow.
Huh? $14.69 now
I can't believe the DWTI board is silent.
Lots of new naked candles to cover!
I did; Chicago to Michigan.
Judging by traffic, so did a lot of other people!
The dollar is down too. Hmmm....
Just means there is another naked candle to cover. Nice swings!
Haha! He's already said he's stuck in DWTI @ $117. Of course he's a bear cheerleader. Good thing for being able to swing trade. Gotta love trailing stop losses..
