    TRAD - up 100% in the past month?

    They raised their prices which translate to more gross revenue assuming there wasn't any attrition from the price increase.

    Tradestation7 Alternative

    That price is not quite accurate. It's more than $1200/yr. The price got increased this month. If you want live quotes and charts, you will have to pay additional Exchange Fees for every Exchange that you want to subscribe to. It is no longer included as part of your monthly subsciption package.

    DT1 Swing Trading Journal

    Stay with 100 shares. Don't do size when you first start out learning to trade. You will blow out your risk capital if you start trading big size when you are inexperienced. Once you find your niche, then you can gradually increase your size.

    FACT: You can be a profitable trader with just about any account size.

    No arguments from me, Rs7. Over 50% ROI in one month is very impressive. I had naturally assumed he was trading with a British Account because that type of return from UK CFD trading, a british derivitive that only require 5% initial margin, is reasonable. Getting that type of return from...

    my last 7 trades

    You sound unhappy with trading. Get out of trading and find something else that makes you happy. Trading is not for everyone. Some people operate better at a 9 to 5 job. It gives them a sense of a security blanket and comfortable daily routine. There's nothing wrong with that. Your true...

    Seems liks day trading is all but finished!

    Jeff, What is the web page to subscribe to the NYSE Open Book service? Also, I thought only the Specialist can see their Order Book and they do not show it to anyone. It is one of their special privileges for making the market. Is that no longer true ?
