Grabbit, I agree there should be a way to click once and send an order to close a position. A click on the shares you currently hold which generates (create) a order to close that position with that size would be really nice. When I say generate a order, I don't mean transmit. A...

STOCKKBROKER, What is a MOC that you refer to when you bought all that stock? If you have a real passion for trading, you will make it all back and more. It may take a while because the markets are not as volatile as before but if you can survive now, you will do extremely well when...

I find it personally easier to trade NASDAQ stocks than NYSE. Some people are better at reading the tape with market makers and trade NYSE. Different Market Makers have their own style and if you trade them long enough, you may be able to step in front of them before good moves and make...

version77, Auto liquidation is used by most brokerages to protect themselves. If you lose ALL your money, the brokerages should be allowed to liquidate your account to protect themselves and all their other customers. I believe every broker has a clause about it in all the documents...

Does it feel like somedays that the Market Makers moves the market just enough to hit your stops and then go in the other direction just to laugh at you? Well, you're not alone. Develop your game and stick to it. Have methods for re-entry after being stopped out if all signals are still...

Does Quicken automatically mark wash sales for you? Does it have an option so that it knows to skip wash sales since you have elected Mark-to-Market?

I think bobdek wants to prove this system with paper trading before putting small money at risk. Of course paper trading does not compare to trading with real money, but it is helpful for a trader to practice his game plan. bobdek, do you have any sort of stop associated with your...

I always wondered about this Pristine videos. I was tempted to buy the Micro Trading Tactics but I don't know if it'd give me any new ideas. Has anyone who has bought this video tell me if it's worth it? I would hate to buy a video and have them teach me about how to draw...

vitajex, Thanks, I found the ini file doing a file search and the Boston server works good for me now.

The Sunnyvale Server went down right after the open for me. How do I switch servers? Ctrl-Alt-N does not switch for me because Sunnyvale is closest server even though it's not working. I use to be able to modify the ContinuumClient.ini and remove the offending Server but I don't think...

Since nobody has answered your questions, I will give it a shot. 1) Goals - 25,000 account / 200.00 a day -- unrealistic? What is more realistic? $200 is about a 1% goal per day from your trading capital. This is a reasonable percentage considering the size of your account if you have a...

I wasn't getting Level II either. So I did Start -> Programs -> Check for TWS Updates After it installed, I rebooted. Now I can get Level II when I right click. Help -> About Trader Workstation Build 735g Hope this helps!

How can you start a thread to trade ideas? And then say you can't trade ideas just because it wouldn't be fair to your traders. What do you suppose the title of the thread be changed to? "Join Bright and exchange Trading Strategies"

Who really cares about a $10 charge for quotes. If you don't even make $30 worth of trades a month, you should move your account elsewhere and just get interest on your first 10k. What I'm concerned is that I have an IRA with 15k which I have sitting in cash because of current market...

That's wonderful! You can have a 3 day weekend. Or change your trading strategy for Fridays.

Does having a Series 7 automatically make you a professional? Or do you gain the title by trading at a firm? Do you lose the title after you leave the firm or are you professional status forever?

I'm sure Hitman means Monday, Oct 15th is the last trading day for the first half of the month.

Just because it's a $2000 minimum to open an account doesn't mean you should join with only $2000. You don't open an account at other firms for exactly $25000 when that's the minimum. If they are for real, I think they give experienced traders that don't have 25k a chance to trade. I do...

Wirehead, Thanks for the information. I think it's a cheaper alternative to paying $800-$1000 for a Appian quad monitor card.

I read both of Mr. Tharps books and found them interesting. I just purchased the Peak Performance Course last week but have not had the time to start the course. I briefly skimmed over the materials and I think it's a repeat of the books except that there is much more detail. If you are a...
