Maxito, I'm doing similar to what you are. Only thing I'm doing different is charting with Quicken Quotes Live. Total cost is $70 per month including level 2 and option chains. I'm trading in 100 share lots while I'm learning so a round trip is just $2.00. Can't beat it. Btw, at least with this...

jsmith, that is exactly what I have always done. Seeing as I am not yet in jail this shouldn't present you with any problems. I have been in a position to be privy to a lot of tax returns and have seen people do incredible things. Really, the IRS seems more concerned with form than function, so...

Guys, I really don't think any of this is a problem. Simply add the commission cost into your basis and problem solved. It's no different than a real estate transaction reported on a sched. D. You sell the property and add the cost(s) of the transaction to your basis, then figure your profit by...

I'm using an SMC Barricade router/hub. I paid about $70, (check pricewatch.com) has 4 ethernet ports, printer port and has worked great for me. It also works as a firewall so I don't need to screw with software firewall.

I have been a TC2000 users for over a year. I've never gotten any kind of junk e-mail. Maybe it wasn't TC2000 that was the cause. Anyway, I don't think your request will work because you really need the whole CD for it to work, and I believe it's several hundred mB's. I can whole heartedly...

You can also use an adapter plug like a Belkin # F2E4162 for about $15. I got mine online from www.c-source.com, but you could check pricewatch.com for several sources.

I was with tradescape until oct. (when I switched to IB). Tradescape had fine executions, no charting, no options. The reason I left was they don't seem to have ANY stocks to short.

A note to potential esignal users. I used esignal about two months before I became totally fed up with their data manager that keeps telling me I'm maxxing out my symbol count when I'm not. Also, every time you change symbols or time frames you lose your zoom setting. It really is frustrating...

I more or less agree with you, with one caveat. Trading is a microcosm for life as a whole. In every business arena there are "snake oil" dealers. My concern is for legitamately dedicated newcomers to the trading world that end up being conflicted by all the bashing of trading educators in...

Consider this possiblity. If the current market is devoid of any extreme fear or greed (ie. optimism) this is an indication of uncertainty. Typically uncertainty can be a turning point. In particular, over the past week or two, I've noticed a large % of the charts I'm looking at have been in...

Hi all! Can anyone tell me what the difference is between SOES and NASDAQ on the the IB TWS routing menu. IB support told me it's the same thing, which I doubt, otherwise why is it their? Also, I am a swing trader looking to go a little shorter in my time horizon and I really don't have...

Gut feel. What is that? I hate to bring up that Tony guy, but he has taught me more about making money than any book, trader, web-site, etc. (btw: Tony is the personal coach of Paul Tudor Jones) Guess what: gut feel is simply your unconcious mind giving you a signal based on every bit of data...

Just to add my 2 cents, I use Tradescape for level 2 and execution. They told me I needed broadband, but being a real low overhead sort of guy I just kept with my reliable ISP dialup account. It seems to work fine. I must admit I have not traded the fastest moving stocks, I'm just starting out...

Yes, so far all I've gotten is "all lines busy". Obviously, in the grand scheme of things, this is nothing; but I am concerned.

I realize it's a little early to start worrying, but tradescapes' web-site doesn't exist anymore, and of course no telephone communication. Anyone know if it's just a communication problem, or did Tradescape "go away" from yesterday's disaster?
