There is some truth to that some traders and also long term investors make big money on inside information. I had one very small bit of inside information back in 91 from a girlfriend at the time. Her brother had graduated college and starting working at a company (APCC). She told me to buy...

The post from Soveras Khan is great. All I can say is WOW. Absolutely amazing how true it is. Anyone who is on ET struggling to succeed should cut and paste his post and read it, over and over again. At first it won't make any sense to you, but once you are there you will know what he is...

How do you know Scottrade gives the same fills as IB? have you done side by side comparisons? I was suspect of bad fills with Scottrade so I did a side by side comparison of market orders for a stock. The stock orders were placed 1 second apart(as fast as I could click on execute on one...

I used Scottrade and thought they were good compared to Quick and Reilly and Brown and Company, but realized Scottrade sucked and went to IB. IB is 100x better than Scottrade.

I agree 100%. I had Scottrade too and realized the executions sucked so I switched to IB. Absolutely amazing difference between Scottrade and IB. I did a side by side comparison too just to compare the executions. I had my Scottrader and IB trade sessions open. I set up each for...

Anyone else using IB and get the message that you should download the Adobe Flash Player to enhance features? I tried to install the Adobe Flash Player, got the message that I successfully installed it yet I keep getting the message that I need to install it. I tried re-booting my computer...

It really hits home to me. Today, January 25th I did my day trades and then went to Foxwoods. My goal was $220 profit ($20 to cover gas). I got to Foxwoods at 12:19 and by 3:00 was up $254 and got something to eat and headed home. I got home and saw I lost .48 points on my daytrades but...

Take a look at ABK today folks, if you love to day trade stocks look at this mother today, was up fast then down hard now coming back, who knows what this is going to do next but if you love some movement in stocks, this is a good one today.

Today I made 7.11 points and yesterday 2.243 points. x1000 shares is very sweet! Today I could have tripled the amount so could have made over $20k but stuck to my tried and true method. Amazing how many newbies on this site looking for a handout. lmao.

Sometimes when I am having a bad trading day I find that by punching myself in the head as hard as I can for about 5 minutes works wonders for me. It just feels so good when I stop hitting myself that I totally forget about how much money I just lost in the stock market! (kind of what is going...

I buy the stock when its low and sell it at a higher price. That strategy seems to work most of the time! Sometimes I feel lucky and I actually sell the stock when its high and buy it back when it drops down in price too. Good luck, hope that helps!

Anyone know how to set a time for an order execution with IB? I know you can do a MOC order, but I wanted to be able to set a time for an order during the trading day rather than a price. Anyone know if IB offers this for stocks?

Billary will run the presidency. You may be right that woman historically are poor leaders, but of course she won't be running the show silly! Bill will be leading us with Hillary as his spokeswoman! I am really looking forward to having Bill running the show again! I think we need to...

How not too long ago all across the news was the talk about how people were drowning in debt and spending way beyond their means and maxing out their credit cards etc. Now people are actually starting to smarten up and slow down on their spending because they cannot afford things and WHAM...

I have heard that shorting the stocks that gap up works well. Try doing that and see what happens. LDK last Thursday was a good example.

Here is one question I always seem to get in interviews: from the interviewer "If I just sat down at my desk with a hot cup of coffee and was about to put the creamer in and suddenly someone comes in to tell me that there is a mandatory meeting and I cannot bring my coffee, If I want the...

You are correct. I have bad days as well. Last Thursday I lost $5217 on these duds: LEV ATS LDK GAI PWI URI Look at LDK for that day. It crushed my nuts in a vise! oh well. I guess I should follow the proper channeling of my posts and post on the P&L page. Sorry. I...
