Hey, I never said that I'd sell my f-hole arch top. ::grins:: André

Opinions are what make the market. ...and what break the trader/investor. André

Understanding how crucial it is to have enough capital to trade with is something that has really come full circle with me. I find myself wanting to scalp. Or that my current observations that I think I can exploit are scalping type positions. Alas, I'm woefully undercapitalized to trade...

I used the IB datafeed through QuoteTracker. I used to have an Ameritrade account, and I used that for QuoteTracker, still trading with IB. The data from Ameritrade was noticeably better. I trade some thinner stocks, and lags to updates in volume and recent activity for some reason seems to...

Didn't read Surf's query as fact. the state of mind required to constantly extract profits from the market seems to be diametrically opposed to "real" life. are you able to turn this 'state of mind" off when the market closes for day ? OR does it extract a toll on the other aspects of your...

I started out in the 70's: In a sense I started in the business during its worst time - although towards the end of the cycle. Cal, do you think it was a good thing that you stated trading in a bear market rather than a bull? Do you think people get a false sense that they know what they're...

...don't be shy, stop on in. Andre

Just bumping this up to remind folks that half hour after the close today Dan Mirkin of Trade Ideas will be joining us in the Elite Trader chat room. That's 4:30pm eastern time. Please stop on by. André

Anyone would have made a lot more money following Honeig than Cramer over the past three years. I haven't read enough of his calls or recommendations to know this. But every article I've read of his on trading has been a good read, and generally good advice and commentary on this trade we...

The creation of the Chit Chat forum is the sign of a successful community, one where people want to able to talk about other things. In many ways, it is just as important as the on topic subject matter. I just wish people would stop creating all these polls/topics on who should be banned, or...

Dan Mirkin of Trade Ideas will be joining us in the Elite Trader Chat Room after the close on Tuesday, February 25th at 4:30pm (eastern). Dan, along with co-founder Philip Smolen, worked closely with traders at hedge funds like SAC and Circle T Partners, where they observed and analyzed the...

I wonder how many folks here on ET are in Oregon, or the Northwest? I'm just down I-5 a couple of hours from Hood River, smack in the heart of the Willamette Valley. I'd certainly be up to getting together for beers in Portland one evening. André

Kind of curious if anyone knows about splitting an IRA's funds into two accounts. My IRA is currently held by Edward Jones. They're buy and hold types. And expensive. I've got about about half in Mutuals and half in stocks. IB doesn't trade the mutual fund family I hold, but I'm happy with...

Ninja, we loaded 4.0 last night. We've been testing it all day. Folks who haven't had the problem, can still access the room the old way, with the Sun Java plug-in UNchecked. But the good news for IB users is that with the Sun Java v1.4.1 option checked... you can now get in! André

You also can't short in an IRA, correct? André

>> it doesn't seem like my chat settings get saved when i save them. << Nope, just tested this 3-4 times. It's not saving it for me, either. When I leave the room and come back, none of my changes are there, I'm starting from scratch all over again. Well, I'll just put this on top of the...

>> when i have the option unchecked, navigating in the open internet explorer window doesn't close the chat window (good thing). however, if i do have the option checked, when i navigate in the open IE window, the chat window will disappear. << I noticed this too. It's got to do with the new...

Folks, please check in with the chat room. We've loaded 4.0. It still works the old way, with the Sun Java plug-in UNchecked. But the good news for IB users is that with the Sun Java v1.4.1 option checked... you can now get in! The first thing you might notice, is that the Sun Java option...

Hey, I just posted in the UK/Ireland Traders Board in Feedback, suggesting that we create a UK Traders Chat room, one that's always open. We'd love to keep people here on the ET site. My suggestion for the title is simply UK Traders. What do you think? Check out and chime in at our Chat...

We're looking to improve attendance in the ET chat room. While it wouldn't be an entire message boards forum geared towards UK Traders (yet), we could create a perpetual chat room -one that's always open- for UK Traders. That might be a good way to draw more people in and build the demand for...
