    Does Charles Schwab has " Market if Touched" and "Limit if Touched" ?

    Let me give you a helpful suggestion. You should be playing for "enough of a move" that the fill is inconsequential*. (Unless however you're playing some size in an issue with light volume and/or a big spread, then a limit order will help.) Focus on getting the "swing move" correct and don't...

    Does Charles Schwab has " Market if Touched" and "Limit if Touched" ?

    So... your buy limit is $49.80, but you want to short @ $49.85? Your broker must just LOVE your schtick! :)

    Why is Solar Sector on fire?

    Hadn't heard of that. I'd heard they had a sub-3 second model, but that's just ridiculous. (0-60, sub 2-seconds.. for $200K? Sounds like a bargain.) What's next, warp speed? :)

    Why is Solar Sector on fire?

    Speaking of battery cars.... There is a Japanese car maker that makes an electric job that will go 0-60 MPH in 1.69 seconds*! Are you serious? (How do they get enough traction to overcome the mass inertia?) I once rode in a friend's Porsche... a 0-60 job in ~3.5 seconds. That felt like a...

    Well, like any other trade... you can play ANYTHING with a stop.

    Does Charles Schwab has " Market if Touched" and "Limit if Touched" ?

    "Limit if touched"? Isn't that the definition of "Limit" order?

    Why is Solar Sector on fire?

    When you "chase late" (FOMO?), you suspend risk control. That leaves you open to the possibility of big and maybe even catastrophic loss. I don't do that. There's always another play another day... if you keep your capital intact, that is.

    Why is Solar Sector on fire?

    Here's a notion.... I'm not good at chasing big moves... I don't have FOMO. I'd rather buy cheap or relatively cheap... and at least at technical support. I've had the notion of buying pot stocks when the market has a big swoon like in 2008-2009, as pot stocks may be selling for "pennies"...

    Why is Solar Sector on fire?

    Story all along.... regardless of the "eco appeal" of solar, it wasn't economically viable... as its cost was still greater than fossil fuel sources, including natgas. Perhaps that's changing?? If that's the case, solar will be a HUGE winner for the next 10 years and perhaps beyond.

    Giuliani: 'Very disturbing things' on Hunter Biden hardrive

    Doubt it. The MSM will sweep it under the rug. Besides, the Lefty/DemoCrap sheeple don't care about the character/crimes/corruption/pedophilia of their chosen leaders.

    Why is Solar Sector on fire?

    From $18 to $90 in 6 weeks! Sheesh. Got some volume to it, too.

    Trump ---> Suicide ?

    Saddest, the TDS sufferers don't have any real reason to hate Trump. I know... he's boorish, is a pussy grabber and keeps putting his foot into his own mouth, etc. That is, he's not especially "presidential"... but that's no reason to express such vitriol towards him. All the Trump haters do...

    Could there be a insurance company default because of the Coronavirus?

    Yes, but that doesn't answer the question of "could Covid be so wide-spread and cause so much loss that insurance companies might default"? As to Property and Casualty insurance, re-insurance is about "spreading the risk from a geographical area". Covid, however, has the potential to affect...

In addition, eight states, including Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New...

    Closing the gap on ES

    Gaps are always worth paying attention to... they often act as support or resistance when filled.

    Could there be a insurance company default because of the Coronavirus?

    Some insurance/companies have a "force majeure" provision that lets them weasel out of paying claims. Would Covid qualify?? I dunno. For "business continuation" risk, perhaps? Life insurance, however, would have no such "weasel out" provision for Covid.... death rate is much too low...

    My Withdraw Is Rejected (IBKR)

    Not just anti-money laundering, but anti-theft security. As a general rule... to do a routine transfer/withdrawal... it can only be done to your identified account... bank routing number, account number, and your name. Anything other requires "additional handling".... like a letter with a...

    From Micros to Millions: 2% per day

    That's mostly how it always is... the 80/20 rule, you know. Most of the time you're grinding to a degree. And then, POP! (Pop could be up or down.) Best way to make bank is to be disciplined about making technical trades and have the market "catch you" rather than your trying to "identify...
