Interesting. What would you consider a True goal?

From reading the api documentation, and talking to an institutional trader who has used the institutional version of the friends and family account this is how I believe it works: When you login into the master account, all that does is give you the right to direct orders to slave accounts...

Too bad I can't copy and paste a online help chat session. Basically this is the problem - From about mid feb to March I held SMH. In the last couple of weeks I have started receiving Semiconductor companies annual reports and proxy forms, even though I have never directly owned this...

Yes that is possible. But I'd rather keep a clear mind, worry about not losing money vs not making money fast enough to keep up with the payments. Thanks for the tip though.

Whats that? And can I do it with only $2K without taking on undue risk?

I held my SMH trade for about 3 weeks... now everyday I get a semiconductor annual report in the mail from IB? How can I stop this....I don't want to waste IBs money on something I am not going to read.

Ok so here goes. I have a ~$2k acct with IB. I have a day job so I try to swing trade. My wedding is fast approaching and it seems like I am forever paying for wedding crap (what the hell is tulle anyway?) and there is no money left over for "toys". I could cash out my IB account and buy...

aphie has pyschologically capitulated!!! The one poster who was convinced that he could never fail as long as he kept at it has thrown in the towel. Anybody else think this rough trading period is almost over? j/k aphie... you know I got mad love for ya... last falls thread where...

I have often thought about this too.... have the time decay work for you instead of against you. I am sort of uneasy being short naked options though

He just sent me another letter offering it for $750. Do a search on ET, someone who took the course posted a review.

Easier to get out with a profit when you don't have to pay $30 win lose or draw for commissions.

I agree... no reason why you should paying more then $1 for a trade.

Doesn't look too bad, $6.00 or so would be my first target on the upside.

I don't subscribe to IBs data feed. Too expensive for doing EOD trading decisions on a small account. I use quotetracker with scottrade streamer for my intraday port tracking.

I don't think so, its not business income, its investment income. You should still be able to write off costs associated with the investment (ie you can write off loan taken out to buying income producing investments).

Have only $2500 to trade with, stupid wedding :) Have an IB account. Currently trading 10-20 shares of SMH, QQQ, DIA, SPY. Sticking with ETFs for diversification. Only need .10 of price movement to cover commissions. Sure I only make $10 if it goes up a point, but who cares. I am...
