Heya, Amadeus... I'd hardly call Mark Douglas, Tom Joseph, Alan Farley, Bill Lupien or Mike Quanbeck "two bit traders". And while it's true you often see the pat response, much like a ball player who says, "I'm just happy to be here"... I've always gleaned at least one new perspective on a...

Well, Netscape worked for me. Still don't know what's up with IE.

This is frustrating... all I'm getting is a blank screen. I'm using Win98 and IE 5.5. I don't seem to have the exact "Java (Sun)" option to unclick. I get an ET Window with the navbar/logo on top, and a blank white screen with one grey "connect" button. And then an applet window opens, but...

Oh, the wa-aai-ting is the hardest pa-aaa-arrt. - Tom Petty I'm waiting too. Twiddlin' my thumbs, gosh... what to do, what to do? When you talk of a specific mindset... you could very well be on the right track. But when you say: Stay tuned, I am almost ready to expose the super secret...

Not at all, Main Framer... feedback is good. I like comics, (ours doesn't do much for me, but is doesn't bug me either) but your comment reminds me of something from my journalism days, we had editors of some pretty major papers as guest speakers and they told us that two of the biggest comment...

The reason is that most traders can benefit from learning how to trade and from following a method/system someone teaches them. If they also become interested in their mind's inner workings (as far as trading is concerned) as they should, a good book like It's unfortunate, but most folks do...

I really liked the stuff he did at Trading Markets, and I don't think that site has recovered since he left. He was at Trading Markets? I thought he was with HardRightEdge? I just checked, and he's listed there. Not sure what his relationship is there. Does anyone subscribe to his...

I've had good luck with stops doing what they're supposed to do. But I'm new to IB, and I'd love to see some user comments on this. Good question.

trader99: PLUS, the BIGGEST misconception the public has is that trading is gambling. They think it's the same. It's NOT! And they think it's all "luck" that one wins. They know nothing about odds, having an "edge" , discipline, cutting losses, letting winners run, psychology. There's a WHOLE...

You might try asking this question at one of the AdvancedGet user groups: get_traders@yahoogroups.com or advancedget@yahoogroups.com

Hey, just popping in to vouch for Bo, (not that he needs it). His Master Interview on our site is one of our highest rated ones. He's got a pretty good way of explaining things. Here's an example.

Stock Lover... look into the thread here called " Asking the right questions". The question is why do you want to be there? What are you looking for a firm to provide? The two issues I look at are: that they might hawk a system that might not fit your personality, and what you mentioned, the...

My questions to you (not them) are... have you calculated fees into how much you'll need to make to cover their overhead? Are you making a living trading now? Do you really think not trading the downtick is hurting you? Do you have a day job? Heck, my big issue is the environment of some...

My post was tongue in cheek- I just find it amusing when the mother of all disciplines is dismissed as trivial. Thankyou. I have a witness.

BTW, from the QuoteTracker boards (http://boards.quotetracker.com/board/ubbthreads.php), I saw a link to voting at IB for what platforms or tools you'd like to see them make compatible with IB. QuoteTracker was an option, so naturally, I voted for it.

Uh oh. A philosophy major who is a trader. There are a number of those. A Ph. D. even. Yikes. Almost as scary as those physics majors/ traders. Umm, as opposed to what major? Tell you what, it's fascinating to read up on traders and what they feel makes them successful. Many pure...

Hi folks... I've been meaning to get back over here, but have been busy. Two comments have lead me back. The first was the comment that one person trades things he doesn't mind owning, because it allows him to "marry" his stocks. This could be a dangerous approach. You shouldn't be...

My questions to you are: Are those people who would have 200 positions at a time still trading? What time frame were those positions? What is your time frame or trading style? What was their capital base? What is your trading capital base? My general comments are: Unless you've got...

My question is about feeds. I've heard that some folks are able to use the IB data feed with QT. Is this true? I don't mind if QT doesn't work as trading platform for IB, as my trading style doesn't require many, many trades. But when I look for the data feed in QT, I can't find the IB...

Forgive my stupidity but as a futures trader with IB what are the effects on me and my trading with IB? Not sure that it does, Larry. Sounds like they were fined for record keeping. A combination of inexperience from the auditing staff for NASD proceedures: a programming error (the...
