Even if your money was backed, if Etrade did go belly up, you will not have readily accessible funds/stocks. Why would you take a chance unless you're too lazy or you like their platform or something that much? I remember a firm going under many years ago. My buddy had his money tied up...

the pb account is a centralized location for all your stock and capital. doing away trades is like having an account at RBC but doing trades at GS or MER that will be dvp'd to your account at the end of day.

that link from loik has a detailed explanation. the main purpose for this thread is the trade away benefits.

danc- in order to do away trades, you have to have a pb account. why would you say that it's not worth it? he said that he needs to pay comms for research. what else are you recommending?

unless you have a seeing problem, i don't understand why you are using 2048x768 on 2- 20" monitors. if you have to use that blown up res, you can save yourself a lot of money by using 17" monitors.

I have no problems sharing with you. I will PM you when I get a chance.

i actually agree with granpa. the group i'm in trades many styles and tape reading is one of them. it's an entirely diff art now and most veterans who used to make a living doing it are unable to now. however, we do make money doing it. the naysayers are the ones who either have no...

for a newbie, there's no better deal if you can get some training.

With your problem, you would be doing your eyes a disservice by using widescreens. You will lose a good % of real estate by choosing them. 20" wide is only 1680x1050 while the non wide is 1600x1200. However, if you want to go bigger, than you have no choice but to go wide. I hate the wide...

I also know a lot of stock traders making money. I think the market in the last few months has been near the best in years. Seems more forgiving to me. The randomness is not as prevalent. That said, newbies are still struggling with survival rates still razor thin. However, experienced...

I agree. Otherwise, it would mean that if homosexual males should take testosterone to be straight.

isn't TRMP still trading? maybe, that's not the best example but the casino biz is booming. check out HET, MGM, LVS, WYNN, etc. the point was its all based on probability.

tell that point to donald trump and all the other casino owners. probability is what makes them billions of dollars. it's totally relevant in life.

sounds like you haven't been in the industry very long. level II nasdaq terminology. nasdaq offered level I, II and III quotes since before i started trading over 10 yrs ago. if you google nasdaq level II quotes, you will see what i'm talking about. it has in fact originated from nasdaq...

like speculatus said, nyse does NOT have a level II. that is a nasdaq term. i have no idea what you are talking about. a level II is where you see all the market makers.

like don said, secondaries are dilutive and in most cases, they will force the stock to trade lower. in many cases, there are flippers who sell the allocated shares throughout the day to lock in a profit or get stopped out. important points: -when secs are announced, they will go lower...

I have the fast raptors 10k rpm and have seen the 15k rpm. For trading, there is no noticeable difference for trading. I also bought a quad to test out. No difference vs. the fast core 2's. Upgrading RAM is the only way that I see any improvement in performance.

For trading, why take the chance with Vista? There are obviously some concerns. You should only switch if Vista offers you something XP doesn't. For trading, I haven't found any advantages so I'm sticking with XP for now. XP is supported everywhere. You can always upgrade to Vista...
