I agree, IB rocks but charts suck. Who cares though: IB plus QT prob the best combo out there.

If you have a router, and use local firewall, don't go to "red zone" website, don't download music, don't open attachments, etc on the trading computer, do you really need anti-virus? I've never had anti-virus protection and never had a problem in over a decade. Of course you have to be...

I would definitely not use your hard-earned money to learn about trading. Put it in a CD and try to get another job while trying out trading on the side with small amount of $$$. This is even more relevant since you're not in a good psychological state.

Finally had a decent day. Made over 1 solid point in UARM. A couple more trades in oil but those amounted to nothing in the end.

what a crappy day. i don't know about you gents, but this was one tough week. i had one good day and the rest all i've been doing is trying to keep my head above the water.

best thing for you is the school of hard knocks. the pain endured in this school can be alleviated somewhat if you do some research. go thru the threads, read some books, check out some financial sites and see what you're attracted to. most good traders are not interested in mentoring some...

sorry no one really answered your question. i went to findmynexttrade to check it out -- one thing --as far as i could tell-- they didn't show what exact trades they had taken, just cumulative p/l %. i'd like to see the log of the actual stocks (to make sure they aren't too cheap, or...

I used opex for options also -- agreed, they used to be a lot better. still one of the better ones for options though.
