The TS rep is suggesting that all accounts will be automatically transfered over to the new commission rate. Here's a cut-'n-paste I got the last time the commissions changed and I wasn't included (I added the quote marks): "Attached please find the form. This commission change was not...

By a Martingale system are you refering to the practice of doubling your position till things swing your way? If that is what you mean, then let me assure you - DON'T! It doesn't matter what market you are trading, whether it be equities or FOREX, if you need the market to go your way - it...

Ok, if you feel that you can successfully trade any entry simply by following good money management then it stands to reason that you'd be happy to let dbphoenix do your REAL MONEY picks for the day(pre-open). If you are successful under these sort of conditions then I would be more than...

I think he means that he trades futures.

Yesterday was ok for me. Near the open I bought a penny stock called TVIA. I was watching TV and a few hours later when I checked my positions I got a nice surprise. :D

Holy Shit Dude! The software you mentioned is THE WORST PIECE OF CRAP on Earth. Not only do they fail to teach you anything useful, but after you order they do all kinds of sneaky stuff like double and triple charge your credit cards. My friends all bought that software and one of them got a...

I used Datek for a few years and having switched to direct access I promise, I'll never switch back. I'm a swing trader so I could use Datek because I only place one or two trades a day. If you trade more actively than that, then DON'T use Datek! Datek is a web based platform. It takes...

For a mechanical system you can state that slope is greater or less than 1 (ie positive or negative) but you can't use a specific slope value as a filter. The reason for this is that by simply changing the increment values on the price axis you alter the degree of angle on your slope. A...

but a few that pop to mind include: 1. Afore mentioned Weinstein book: not so good for smaller time frames, but well structured book (and cheap). 2. Market Wizards 1 & 2 3. R.O.A.S.T.O. 4. Darvas - How I made... 5. A T/A only book - there are a few good ones (ie Murphy, etc.) 6. Douglas...

Yeah, I use Hotmail for any public registrations I make and that kept my email box clean for years and years. Recently however I registered my second and third domain names and that's what got me. Spammers are going to the Whois data base and lifting my address from there. I couldn't think...

No, not at all. As I said, I'm reading his book and trying to learn from it. The first few times I read it I thought it was interesting, but nothing I might use. Now I'm reading it and wondering if there is anything I can apply directly to my trading. I'm pretty good at trading individual...

Yeah, I looked at a chart of his funds. They don't seem to be doing so hot. I'm reading his book for the Nth time and figured I could get more out of it if I related the examples to current information.

Anyone know where I can find Martin Zweig's indicators calculated? I looked around on the web but couldn't even find Zweig's home page. Does he have one? Thanks

A while back I purchased some domain names and possibly used my email address in a public forum. Anyway, the last couple of months the amount of spam I've been getting has gone from nothing to several pieces a day. I realize I'm still low-end but it drives me crazy. Does anyone know of a product...

What's an equity cusip #??

I made a trade the other day (1000 shares) and noticed that it cost me $12. I thought this was odd since their commission structure advertises half price after 500 shares. I emailed about the problem and it turns out that they didn't bother to give me the new commission structure that everyone...

Like Brandon said, trend following could also include retracements. You establish that a strong trend is in place and buy or sell after the price has retraced in a certain way. A flag is an example of this. I like it when prices form an engulfing pattern right at the mid-line of the Bollinger...

I've never traded the window's strategy, but I have tested it a few times. For people who use TS and follow Mark Conway's work, he supplies free code for Connor's strategy. It seems to work particularily well on ETF's.

Hard to borrow stocks are usually that way for a reason. Most often it is because they are very cheap or because they are very thin stocks. Trading thin stocks can be lucrative because volatility can be explosive when things go right. The big problem with this type of stock is getting out...

Cathy (and all), I share your frustrations with the direction this site is headed. It seems like more and more posters are wankers and the people that have something to contribute don't bother since (as RS# said) there is NO upside. You just leave yourself open to attacks. Limiting aliases...
