    Congrats to all holiday index longs!!!

    And earlier you say: So which is it? You sold for +5 -OR- you are holding for an extended "risk-free" time period?

    You really should re-check your numbers. Looks like they found a leak. They got all night to repair. :confused:

    What's the point in using "targets"?

    Contradiction. You state: Setting arbitrary targets goes against this maxim and puts you back on the sidelines looking for an entry rather than making money. OK, you're interested in making money. Followed by: 1. Exiting too soon ("Phew! I got away with it!") and seeing price...

    How to spot a bogus guru

    Wait a minute Mark... Are you saying the vendor or non-vendor is responsible for HOW clients use (or don't use ) a method?

    do you get those spam emails about penny stocks ?

    By the subjects I get, I don't know if they are penny stocks, drugs, or porn... "This one is ready to explode!" "This is HUGE!" "VGRA on sale now!" I guess I'll never know for sure. I don't open em. :)

    does anyone wanna share the ts platform with me?

    Excuse me for being dumb, but what is it about the TS platform that is not available through any other platform? You also have to pay exchange fees for RT data. Hmmm, maybe there is an equal, less expensive platform/feed combo?

    Windows help

    If using multiple monitors, are all monitors turned on? Is window "disappearing" to a different monitor screen? Or maybe your computer is HAL; I can't let you do that Dave.

    Realtime e-mini charts?

    You can give IQChart a whirl. http://iqchart.com/ I used them some years ago. The price includes exchange fees! Back when I used it there were some limitations that I couldn't tolerate. I dont know current status of the ware. My use was a long time ago.

    TaxACT online free tax software w/ free IRS E-file

    Totally agree that audit defense is merely insurance. Also agree only a small percent become full-blown audit. The insurance cost is very minimal however to handle initial correspondense with uncle sam. My attorney charges $175hr for such. And if the insurance can resolve the issue, then it's...

    TaxACT online free tax software w/ free IRS E-file

    Then move to state that has no state income tax so you can save $12.95. :D The problem with TaxACT is they do not offer ANY type of audit protection or assistance, other than guaranteeing the accuracy of calculations. If audit is not a concernto you (to me it is) I think this is a terrific...

    Traders Goals

    Fear of poverty is a state of mind, nothing else! But it is sufficient to destroy one's chances of achievement in any undertaking. This fear paralyzes the faculty of reason, destroys the faculty of imagination, kills off self-reliance, undermines enthusiasm, discourages initiative, leads to...

    RCG Onyx

    Bad deal for Onyx. Should be no charge. You probably need to go through an RCG IB; lot's of them out there. The platform (and PATS feed) is very stable. RCG probably has the best PATS feed out there, because they don't allow any 3rd party access.

    What are Overnight Margins on Futures?

    May or may not be true. Depends on brokerage and/or clearing firm. Would be true only if broker/clearing is willing to (potentially) go at risk for initial overnight margin requirement on a position that was opened based on day-trade margins. Also FWIW, most brokers will allow 5 business days...

    Russell 2000 Cup and Handle

    Not a cup and handle. At best, right now, it's an ill-formed bull flag. Or just a horizontal flag, with no clear direction (yet). In any case, in my view, it's currently sitting on or just below the uptrend from mid-July. Old support becomes resistance, so best to use a different time...

    Ensign: Comments Please...

    Ensign is not a datafeed. Depends on the datafeed YOU subscribe to. (although they are currently providing FXCM forex feed, free). Yes. No problem. Should be" datafeed neutral" but I haven't used all possible feeds with it. Not certified (is there such certification? by who?) but...

    Who is the best broket for OTC and pink sheet stocks

    Scottrade caveats... 1) They are paid for order flow. And for OTC, almost guaranteed the market maker will be NITE. Heres link to order flow statement... and be sure to click to "Material Aspects" link near bottom of the page...
