    what do you traders want to be when you grow up

    Wrong. When price arrives at point B, a pullback/reversal begins. It's now a countertrend. Congratulations-- you just put yourself and any newbies on the wrong side of the trade and are losing money instantly. Nice job. -Prof.

    Carl Ichan is a Senile Penile

    LMAO! Another internet tough guy. Another brave big mouth from behind the keyboard. Hahaha! Israeli scientists have made critical contributions to American health, science, defense and security. Israel happens to be America's ONLY mid-east ally. Our only real friend over there. Or...

    Market order fill question

    Advice to you: "It is better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than open your mouth and prove it." Not sure what's amusing to you. Ah, yes, I forgot! You're also an algorithm developer sought after by top investment banks. Run along- mommie's calling you for dinner.

    Carl Ichan is a Senile Penile

    Not only are you a 'pissed goy' but a damn stupid and bigoted one, as well. Obama wants to have sitdown talks and kiss the azz of the worlds terrorist leaders such as Ahmadihejad- while they finish constructing their nuclear weapons and send them to Israel and NYC. Not to mention he and...

    FX trading is the MOST profitable IF you know how

    I've done very well trading currency but have closed all my accounts due to occasional fraud and manipulation of quotes/orders. Guess the little b-stards at Gain Capital got cranky when they consistently lost money taking the opposite sides of my trades. If an ethical, reputable, competent...

    Bad Arca fills on news

    Was it a market order? Was it regular session or pre/post market? Have also experienced trades thru the market myself from time to time, but never $1 out. -Prof.

    Market order fill question

    Would be a guaranteed fill. Though you may get some slippage to the upside. The critical issues affecting the outcome are: 1) How many contracts purchased relative to the current offer? 2) Is there sufficient liquidity for a good cost basis on larger positions? -Prof.

    up 29% this month!

    +1 on that. Nothing screams 'amateur piker' like chest-beating about returns. But since you're new and I suppose we were all guilty of bragging a little in the very beginning, I'm glad for you. Bottom line: Unless you've scored enough to retire on one single trade, gains mean sh-t...

    IBKR halted?

    LMAO... As anti-climactic as it gets. Zero action. No one knows what to make of the cancellation. Can't take a side until it's known WHY the offering was withdrawn.

    Trading in wireless hotspots

    Tried that a few years ago for two months to escape the isolation. Traded at Starbucks indoors and outside. No security problems but rest assured, your lack of focus from the distractions of girls and curious idiots wanting to know what's on your screen will cut into your earnings. Never...

    Does trading run in your blood.

    I can remember when I was a kid, buying one or two ounces of silver at at the coin shop in my town, riding my bike home and checking the closing price in the newspaper that night when my Father came home. I was 8 years old. I think the Hunt Brothers were safe. Still love it. -Prof.

    When did you start and how long?

    Though I'd been investing successfully since age eight, I began teaching myself trading in April, 2000. Made up my mind eight years ago, nothing was going to get in my way of achieving this dream. I suffered and sacrificed immensely in every aspect of my life to get to the level I'm at...

    lowest emini margins

    Low intraday margins are worthless if your platform locks up and your orders don't get filled. Don't put so much value behind that. -Prof.

    Tradestation for equities?

    StkWiz, Like everyone else, I'm here for the exchange of ideas, opinions and experiences. I was with TS for over eight years and have watched their service and reliability deteriorate severely in the last two years, to my detriment. My experience with them was a nightmare at the end. If...

    Tradestation for equities?

    Excellent point! Hadn't considered that. I think you hit the nail on the head. Shills and ad revenue-- that's why you never see the true best brokerages on there. -Prof.

    Tradestation for equities?

    My best friend used IB for a few years and had regular outages (>two a month). The idea if a Universal Account would be awesome, but from reading the forums here there are just too many regular outages and people here say the customer service is worse than Tradestation. I'm going with either...
