    use Options instead of Stops

    I use options on well known momo movers for a few days swing trade - just don't buy more option contracts than you are ready to loose (all the money you buy them with!) - if you keep the risk small the payoff is nice and prevents you from getting stopped out on some of the wild movers. Also, I...

    Should I close my Tradestation account?

    I use Qoutetracker with IB and just started using IQ as the feed - which I really like so am going to keep. You can try Qoutetracker for free and just use IB as the feed to see if you like it. If you don't add alot of stocks to your qouteboard often intraday you won't need another feed...

    review missing now....

    Hello, I had been doing some DD on cygroup awhile back and noticed they had like 2 reviews in the broker section here on ET which seemed favorable. Now they are gone (the reviews, not the sub-llc) - anyone know why? Did they request they be removed? Thinking about trading through them but...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Equities Trading Journal III

    I've had some really weird data issues this month from IB's feed and very actively daytrade (besides following this system I scalp) so for me it is a big deal. To each their own though.

    To shut down or not?

    Yep, that's what I do, then I click on TWSStart as soon as it's fired up and that launches TWS, Qoutetracker, News & Chat while I go make some coffee. Works great.

    To shut down or not?

    Shut it off unless you own a real server. Servers are made with hardware that is designed to run 24/7, home pcs are not! There is a much shorter life expectancy on the hardrives in a personal pc for example (as opposed to a server). I have shut mine off whenever done with it for the last 9...

    Anonymous websurfing - is it needed?

    TOR is free and effective! You'd be amazed at what networks you can get outside of (work, firewalled, etc) without detection to wherever you need to surf to.

    Trade The News

    I use Newstrike - I make money off of them. It's not the only trick in my bag but it is very useful. For any news service if when you finally get the stock on the chart it looks toppy then fade it - shouldn't be a big deal.
