I am in the process of setting up my IB account. I just downloaded my the stand alone TWS. I use Zone Alarms free edition(3.1.395) firewall. My question is: In step 9 of TWS set-up, it asks you: What should I enter in this field? I am not very computer savvy, but I thought a...

Here are a few oil service stocks HAL SBL BHI RIG However, for a play on oil, I would prefer the futures.

I second the nomination! Splendid choice BCE! I did not even think to include Flabby Abby. :D

I have thought about it for 10 minutes........... and I still can't decide which Cramer quote should get the honors.:D

For the most part, I agree with you. I certainly do not think human behavior will change. I do think some patterns and indicators become less effective because there are alot of people trading on the same thing. For example, using MA crosses(like 4/19 MA cross) in commodity futures can...

I agree. Off to a very nice start. Nice tradin DblArrow! :)

I don't think Tradersworld.com set up is the greatest in the world either. Personally, I would rather have a Celeron with a lot of RAM, than a P4 with 256.

Looks a bit pricey. I am far from being a computer savy. But you might want to take a look here. They are about 30% less for a similiar system. http://www.sys.com/

How is the P&L looking for December?

I've been through that before. After I had nearly developed a first name basis with MSN tech support, I took the computer in to have the modem checked. It was fine, and connected to my ISP from the computer shop with no problem. I am convinced it was the phone lines in my area, but I could...

sorry, I do not understand your question.

I agree. They are not dumb people, ...........well maybe some of them. :) But they are not in a environment where they can be objective, and keep their job. I think they are good people in a bad system.

Abby Cohen I saw her on one of the PBS Sunday morning stockmarkets shows a few weeks ago. When someone asked about her bullish stance on the market during a two year free fall, she said something like "Oh no, we were warning investors in March of 2000 that stocks were overvalued" - The...

They are in the process of handing out fines to all of wall street over this nonsense. But they did nothing to solve the problem, and there will always be one as long as analysts and IB are under the same roof. Chinese Wall...... Give me a break. :mad: :mad: :mad:

The conflict of interest is so big it amazes me! One side of the company is trying to get IB business and the other side is writing "unbiased" reports. What the #@*$?! LMAO

At the time, I was still interested in trading on the floor. He felt that ED would be a bad place to start for a small trader. A lot of big paper is moved thru this pit. If you are a small trader you are going to be overlooked by floor brokers. If a floor broker gets an order for 500lot, he...

A friend of mine use to work in the ED pit. His advice to me(I am a short-term retail trader) was to find something else to trade. However, to answer your questions 1. Off the floor, I do not know. 2. Not sure. I justed noticed that ED is traded on Globex now, so it is probably...

No. The daily range is just too small.
