I have actually read the paper. They put 12 students in front of a simulated market and let them "trade" for 90 minutes. They call it scientific experiment. Why rob banks if you can earn [good] money by conducting such "research"?

Last time they merged, commission went up from $10 to $11

I trade stocks where news are rarely announced during market hours.

now I see ... you mean some news are known to be announced at pre-determined times and are sure to move the market in either direction. I never traded FX and missed out on this point. Looks too simple to be true :)

Just one little detail is missing ... how to know the news 1 minute BEFORE the announcement Please please tell me, I'll pay you 10% off my first trillion dollars

Now we know who is who. Those that answered "It's true" are traders. Those that answered "not true" are snake oil sellers. And looks like the latter prevail on ET boards.

And just like Freetrade, its for american citizens only

I usually trade 2000-5000 shares at a time, which comes down to 0.2-0.5 cents per share, better than most per share offers. Another sweet feature of Ameritrade is free wires out, both domestical and international. Of course it matters only to profitable traders :) They finally fixed most...

The real problem is with those variable rate mortgages, what happens if interest rate rises 2-3 times, how will they pay?

Paradoxically, this is what actually happens. 700k/year legal immigrants + twice that much illegal ones are coming to US each year. Any one of them needs a shelter. Putting 3 persons in a house, at $200k average house price, we arrive at $140B/year net money influx - enough to finance about a...

Why do you need all that .NET sh.t for your trading stuff? Isn't ANSI C good enough (and 2x times faster BTW) ? I use fread() for all my input and printf() for all my output and I am pretty much sure it'll be compatible with any 32 bit, 64 bit and 256 bit OS for 100 years to come.

Don't listen to that propaganda. That's what commission-hungry brokers and prop firms want you to do - throw all your money to them. It's an exponential game. It takes the same amount of time and effort to go from $1K to $10K as to go from $10K to $100K. If your strategy works, you will...

One day I bought a stock I thought was way oversold. Next day it was down 18%. I knew I should sell it immediately, but I was broken psychologically, I couldn't overcome the pain to take such a huge loss. I doubled down. Next day it was down additional 8%. I was already like a zombi. I bought...
