Yes, it is true IB has a 100 symbol limit. It does not have to be a huge limitation though. My own work-around is to use QuoteTracker with built-in Trade-Ideas Pro (http://www.trade-ideas.com/). Best bang for the dollar. I then break up a 700 symbol list - around eighty or ninety stocks to a...

Jake Bernstein Trader's RoundTable on 9-11 September 2006 Chicago costs only $4500. Jake's site also claims; "I teach VERY SPECIFIC, 100% objective systems and methods." (http://www.trade-futures.com/TRT.html) Jump a plane, you can make it and be saved. Use $4500 to listen to Jake's "100%...

Some of this 40 bits of wisdom are redundant but it seems to echo the advice of many here on ET; "cut loses short and let profits run". Hard to argue with. http://www.tradethemarkets.com/index/9/32/1441/2/11574050056608/\ One of those bits is: "Trading should be boring, like factory...
