patoo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote from tomcole: Dont let day trades turn into swing trades. If it dont work now, most likely it aint working overnight or in 2 days...

It depends. I sleep better if I am back to cash at the end of the day. I got killed back in Sept with BIDU I was holding over night at 115 only to wake up and read where Goldman came out with an underperform and the price was 80. It went up to around 91 when I sold and it closed that day...

Just to add another comment to the slowness lately. Maybe they are having problems updating equipment, but it would be nice to let us know they are aware of it and are in the process of fixing it. don

Unless I missed it, nothing has been said about how limited you are going to be on which stocks you deal with. I trade 2 to 3k a trade, and am very limited on which stocks can handle that much. I would hate to see what happens if you put a market order to sell a stock going against you...

They're are several ways to short. Give me an idea on what you trade, stocks etc? How much per trade? I have been using Cybertrader for over 4 years and pretty much they are all the same. Also, what type of set up are you looking to short, highs, stocks dropping etc? Are you a...

gunslinger -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's all they needed. The custom agents took us to a room where they proceeded to x-ray everything, sneakers, shampoo etc...Then they started to read our journals, word for word, we each kept...

Aaron wrote a few pages back. "Back in 2001, as a newly minted CTA, I made my first trade in the Schindler Trading Program. It was an exciting day for me and I wanted very badly to make my first couple of investors some money and to start what I hoped would be a profitable track record. My...

From "JORGE" "Was anybody able to buy this through IB? I flipped a little in an Ameritrade account, but IB would not let me open a position." Jorge you didn't say why IB wouldn't let you trade. Care to share why? don

Don't hold your breadth for a straight answer to your question. If they were to admit loss and profits it would be difficult for them to recruit new members. Everyone seems to toss around percentages. A page back or so Alexis says he doesn't believe, and then states he has been making 30%...

Nana Trader "I will quite daytrading today, if someone can prove to me (reliable source with data) that it's 5% that make money over long term?" I have never seen a broker put out those statistics, but from what I gather it's probably true. As for proof, what brokers, who makes their...

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Honestly, my thinking is to try and resolve this issue amicably with my broker before publically naming them. I will however, when I'm certain they will not mediate or arbitrate this through NASD, post their name here, along with...

I don't understand why you didn't post the broker. Post the broker. Then follow up with all of us as to how the outcome turns out. You might be surprised at who reads these posts! don

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from jrs3 I don't care what kind of traders they are, just as long as their is plenty of liquidity, without that we have wide spreads. Floor, Prop,Institutional whatever just keep the liquidity...

My experience with NY is very limited, as I don't usually trade NY stocks because of delays. The only time I play is in a fast falling or climbing NY stock. Which is when the ECN's step in and, there are no delays. My last experience was Feb. 25, 26, 27 with ESI after the announcement that...

Mecro LOL WSJ is for sheeps. If you need WSJ to help you explain stock moves, you need some serious luck as well to make any money trading. The mass marketing cheap volume production of WSJ should be enough of a tip off to stay away from it if you expect to make any money trading...

The wsj hands down. but neither is going to help make you a fortune but the wsj will give better explanations of what is going on after it happens. I use CyberTrader and it indicates which stocks are moving and those are the ones I play at the time. If a stock goes up too much or down...

tradersaavy 10-04-03 04:55 PM By the way, when your posts include charts embedded into the message, they are difficult to read because they extend horizontally off of the screen and ya have to scroll left and right as well as up and down. It's just such good information it would be great...

A thanks to heilbronner Well I didn't go short today 9-25-03 but I did pretty well with UTSI. That stock has provided me with a bundle ever since you mentioned it awhile back to me in another thread. Anyone shorting today would have made more, but I picked it up earlier in the week...

All the % talk means nothing unless everyone gets a bit more specific. That is, 10% 2.5% or the huge 36% of what. Are we talking about of an account, if so what are you working with? if you are talking about a particular stock that rose 36% in a time period. A 1.00 has only to move to...

heilbronner so adbe trade is done. Let's move to the next trades. Take a look at UTSI and JCOM, those stocks provide lots of opportunities. Good luck. I guess I should have followed your suggestion in JCOM or UTSI both did okay yesterday. I bought a few thousand shares of MCDTA right...
