    Best live trader chat?

    And now that I look over what I wrote, I would take out "from any location," because globally means any location.

    I love the graphic design - professional looking! My suggestions relate to the wording: You web site says (with my suggestions): Why Trade Remote (Remotely, because it's an adverb) With Flat Iron? Flat Iron Trading offers traders (delete the word "traders" it's not needed to make the...

    Stock prices prior to WWII - where can I find this?

    Hi, Thinkorswim has a tab called "Prophet." If you have access, it goes back "forever." If you don't have access, I can look a few stocks for you if you tell me the dates you want. Mom

    OEC playing up again.

    Hi Dexscalper, See my post today about OEC demo giving me market fills on limit orders. The freezing -- yes. I was trading live yesterday and both the chart and the DOM frooze for a second. It was so brief (1 second) that I would have thought the market was neutral except for that I had...

    OEC demo -- limit orders filled at market

    Hi all, I was just playing with the OEC demo version and I placed a limit order which OEC "filled" at market. At first I thought I screwed it up, so the next _two_ times I was very careful to pay attention to the price I was asking and the fill price. No doubt, my limit orders were filled...

    Friend doing cocaine

    If she does it right in front of you and then lies, she's an addict. You cannot help her. In fact, by leaving the relationship, you will help her more, because she will be that much closer to hitting rock bottom. If you feel you must help, tell her to call you when she's willing to get help...

    Beginner's questions on the ES

    Oh, and I wanted to add -- This month __Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities__ magazine has an article titled "Intrabar Execution Tooks" that details how the author trades the emini Russell 2000. I found the details helpful and applicable to trading other index futures. -- Mom
