    25 k rule

    Zarrar, You may not be getting a response because this specific question has already been thoroughly discussed on other threads at this site. It seems to me that the new SEC rules are not being interpreted exactly the same way by the various brokers. Given that, it seems the best thing is...

    Impact of New Day Trading Rules?

    The new day trading rules have been in effect for about a month in NYSE member firms. Has anyone seen or heard anything about any impact -- or lack of impact? I realize the 911 event may have obsured any impact, but am curious. Thanks. :)

    IB cash accounts...

    I talked with a sales rep at Cyber and he confirmed that they allow daytrading in cash accounts. If I understand correctly Cyber only examines margin account holders to see whether the term "Pattern Day Trader" should be applied. That's the good news. The bad news is that Cyber requires people...

    Can I sue the NASD over the new margin rule?

    I agree that more regulation is a possibility. One major question for me is whether ALL NON-PROFESSIONALS will be impacted -- not just those with less than $25,000. That is, "little guy" may not be defined by size of trading account, but by professional vs. non-professional status of the...

    coops, When I use prophetfinance's charts, the MA overlays on the price graphs are different colors. The first MA I add always shows up as blue, the second is red, etc. Don't know why you are having trouble with all white MAs. You might ask Terri, who works at the Help desk of...

    babe714. I have installed ram two times and both times my computer automatically starting using it when I rebooted. The first time I was using Window95 and the second time I was using Windows2000. However, it seems that I have seen board messages that indicate some computers have not...

    Unsophisticated investors harm market efficiency?

    War Eagle, I admit I don't know much about this, but I thought the "efficient market" meant that all known information about a stock at any one point in time is reflected in the price of that stock, rather than that all participants have equal and total information about that market. I...
