WRLDs WRLDs are mirrors of markets. They are new spaces and objects, created because there are active traders and investors. They are hybrids. They are beautiful. They are competitive. They exist because of the actions you take when you make a trade. WRLDs will arrive later this week. See...

Yes, I do need a real broker, though after researching for hours, it has become unclear to me whether there is such a thing. For any lurking ameritrade clients, I will post my continuing saga: It was not a problem with AVG. The next day, it was a little better and I thought it was because I...

Thanks for all the replies. Things got even worse today. It started out ok, and I was thinking it might be resolved. Then...when things get busy, (I was watching the DJ chart and levelII), there were intermittent freezes, of 2-3 minutes, and eventually, after freezes, the java windows lost all...

For the past 10 days, i have been having serious data freeze issues with ameritrade's streamer. I was happy with it before. What is going on???? I called many times, but the issue remains. I changed computers, new modem, new java, browser setting tweaks, etc. and still it happens. My experience...

I am still learning; you are correct. I usually do follow my plan, but today, i blew it off, and did something stupid. That was the point... m_L

I rarely have a good trading day on Fridays. The mornings seem fine, but the tone of the market response in the afternoon seems dificult. Is it how I feel, or because the smart money goes home, and one is dealing with a million retail traders? Also, I made the worst trade today, that I have...

With the reliance on computer programs these days, and the talk of getting rid of the specialists all together, I have a question: How often does the specialist really impact a trade these days? Are there algorithms running that anticipate trade strategies now, rather than a person...
