I have stopped trading most equities, futures, and options, since September. Presently trading ETF's via IB. Reasons is the elimination of Trade date + 3 day's for final settlement. Therefore I am trading in excess of $300K per day with $100K per account. The following are the particular...

riskfreetrading, What's your point , what kinda of trash are you?

I watch this program constantly, it happens to be the best of all comedies. Look at CNBC as entertainment, they are working for Wall St. Since I work out early AM. I start my day with CNBC at 6:00AM, you be surprised the great speakers, pundits, who actually make sense, but would never be...

when you trade off of 1,2,3,15 minute charts, how many times do you see an overbought condition with stochastics at the top of the range, and the stock still moves higher, to what % are you going to lose by not getting in. I use an 8 period and 10 period simple moving average but use the (H -...

Give the guy a break, when you buy and hold, no problem if you lose 30% - you just have to strive for 44% to break even.

Excuse me but I have laughed outloud, no need for a laugh track for this show. They are all schills for Wall St. I enjoy listening to the pundits, those that do make sense are counter productive to the shows intent, consequently they may be interviewed once a month or never invited back. I...

I have used PC Tool, which the free version will work. The problem is that the free version will quarantine but no removal. Quarantine doesn't help when the virus is imbedded in the system, and once you boot it will come back. I am presently using the full $$$ version of PC Tool or PC Doctor...

Warning, this AM 9/26 spoke to Ensign due to problem with charts updating. Receiving quotes via IB data, but no charts. I was indicated that I evidently haven't updated the software, since the latest wasn't Sep 19th, but yesterdays on 9/25. I though it was ridiculous to update 3 times since...

Need input from the community on the following: I would like to have both Charts and a real time quotes on futures, etf's, and some selected stocks. The present program I have will do this, clean charts, although not intuitive and limited in speed and problems with Ib data and the program. It...

Per your missive, I am also looking for help. I have been trading stocks (for a living) , worked with futures, but options has been a complete blank. I learned from books that you can't treat options as you would stocks, even with the use of TA. I have taken free courses via OIC, CBOE, etc...

In scanning all 11 pages of this thread, I wanted to at least indicate the following, based on Trader Status. First, I have identified trader status with specific accts, not my IRA's/Roth accts. Secondly, I do trade under "trader status"futures, although the tax incentives are better under...

As a trader with "trader status" from the IRS, and having made the election 475(f), there is no opportunity to take advantage of a retirement fund. Nothing is mentioned in the publication, even though that is my sole income (no W2's) or 1099's. Although with the umbrella of LLC/S corp/C corp...

I am surprised as a 5 year day trader you haven't heard of "trader status" with the IRS. I have trader status with an equity and futures acct. (3years) plus various accts as a regular "investor" using Schedule D. Trader Status is available, with Schedule C for expenses only, this includes...

I didn't realize they haven't changed in the least bit. I had TradeStation for 3 years prior to 2005, it isn't just the lack of IRS type of documentation for Schedule D, but the inability to convert there files to something legible via electronic means. I did finally sent my taxes by...

Trading for a living, equities, and futures. Have been very successful with equities, still trying to learn futures. 1) I will scan via Telechart for equities, scanning mainly on volume, area's of moving averages, sometimes stochastics, etc..Channel lines, 1 day, 3day, week, etc.. I am...

Lorenzo, I will look into Trade Navigator, appreciate the heads up on Ninja Trader. In the past I have had a lot of problems with my CPU going to extremes. When I was running TradeStation and IB, CPU usage at 100%, plus my mouse had a mind of its own. The problem isn't speed of DSL or...

Now I am really confused, I am using TM with PFG and RCG. They will be dropping RCG by Jan 15th, but no word on PFG. I have been offered Ninja Trader, and now in the process of simulation. Has anyone had the following problem with Ninja Trader: 1) LITE edition is free but any strategy in...

I was first introduced to Cybertrader via Schwab, during the day's of $29.95 per trip. Cybertrader had charts and a platform that was a few levels above Sega, but many levels below Nintendo. Three weeks to fund your account in those day's 2002 was average. I finally gave up on them, since it...

I dropped Trades Station a few weeks ago. Matrix for Futures is a joke. Look at Ninja or Trade Maven. I also use IB strictly for equities, and TS is excellent for charting but as a platform it leaves a lot to be desired. I have gone to a Futures only account, and have never had a problem...

I have elected two years ago, I have provided all the necessary paperwork and haven't been audited. 1) I filed my statement prior to 4/15/2003 - with my individual income tax return. declaring the first year as 2003. 2) The 3115 -(that can be submitted anytime during the elected year)...
