Some random thoughts: Well, the main forum is called 'Self Employment' and taxes are certainly part of that, but does everyone that trades do it as a business (taxwise)? Some people may chose to submit their trading activity soley as personal activity rather than business, no? Also: Any...

MSFT? :eek: :D

Can't let this one pass. Edison did invent the light bulb. Nikola Tesla (and a few others) were credited with inventing radio, or, more precisely: Marconi's patents were overturned because it was all 'prior art' - Marconi didn't really invent anything new at all. Tesla made a number of...

NASDAQ Thanks for the replies!

Been doing a lot of educating myself on day trading... have only done a modest amount of trading of 100-share lots just to 'get my feet wet'. Now here's a question: I can easily see 100, 200 and 300 share orders being filled completely, but what happens if I am going to do 1000... 2000...

If you do decide to go with satellite because that is your only option, then Starband is a possibility, but it is picky about what data feeds it works with. Check out http://www.starbandusers.com discussion forums (modest annual fee) and you should find entries on what works with Starband...

Let's revisit the technique described by the Datek user: Consider going short XXX trading 25.00 bid x 25.10 ask. I want to get it so I enter a short sales stop limit of 25.01 x 25.15 limit. Guess what, it goes to the top of the stack and gets filled at 25.10 as the bid is already under my...

Yea, I worded that sorta lousy. Hmmmm... this board only allows edits within 15 minutes of the post. Darn. Here is reworded text (with additional query) in IB lingo: One final question... let's say a stock is at 25.00 BID and 25.03 ASK and I am going to short sell the stock. So...
