Indeed you do. I keep about 25-30k in there and only get about 17-20 bucks a month. Shortboy would be proud :D

Get busy livin' . . . . or get busy tradin'

The Sopranos returns in 4 weeks !! "Just when I thought I was out . . . the pullled me back in" -Silvio Dante

Tony Oz's "How to take Money From Wall St." is one of my favorites, along with Stan Weinstein's "How to profit in Bull & Bear Markets". Weinstein's was written in the '70's and Reminiscences I think from the '30's but they're still appropo today because human nature will never change. Feer...

I just signed up for the free trail at long bull, too. Let's see at the end of the month as well.

At the end of the day does Rick Santelli peel off that f*cken rubber-faced shit-eating grin he always has on, or is that his real mug? This guy shoots a load every time unemployment or GDP figures come out.

Daytrading. How the hell you can forecast an exit price for a daytrade is beyond me. At least on a swingtrade you can use daily charts to predict support and resistance, but intraday it's not as easy. Who knows. They allow a free trial so what the hell. I signed up just to try and figure...

New traders especially should trade small lots, 100-300 shares. Keeps your risks down while getting your feet wet. For that reason a flat-rate broker can add up quickly. I use Interactive Brokers (www.interactivebrokers.com) which charges 1c per share up to 500, 1/2-cent there after. You can...

Well it sure beats outandlimp :D I think it refers to being in the market from the long side

I saw a thread mentioning longbulltrading.com. Anyone have any experience with this outfit? They mention giving entry and exit prices for daytrades and that immediately gets my suspicions up. Anyone who does any daytrading (or any term trading for that matter) knows better than to try and...

For learning or actual trading? For learning, I'm a member of daytrading university and have learned quite a lot. One of the best places I've spent money on. I've seen Ken, the owner, around here on occasion.

Puffy - Thanks for the info! I'm on a cable connection but I'm sure I can still tweak the system, knowing that Windows' deafult settings are never to the advantage of the power user.

Just got disconnected again this morning (Thurs) right at the open. No ISP troubles today so what's up??

I used to be just like swift. I grabbed 5 cents and felt great - until I saw the price run up another 75 cents w/out me. At the end of the day I made a grand, the broker 2. I figured any time the broker made more than I did and I'm the one busting my balls - something has to change. I removed...

It automatically reconnects but if you're out for more than a few attempts I find it doesn't auto reconnect. You have to exit TWS and re-start and THAT is a royal pain in the ass. Just keep the java browser window open and your buy and sell order lines will still be intact. Java is IB's...

Ah, so THAT's why she occasionally pauses in her speech LOL!

I love the way she stands there with her little clipboard (which she never looks at, BTW - what is it, for show?) and microphone, standing in the way of the floor traders who are trying to make a living actually doing something useful. Just once I'd like to see someone brush up against her...

I think today isn't IB's fault. There seems to be some screwiness accessing secure websites today in the Phoenix area, according to Cox cable. I can access some sites but not others. On eSignal the charts and tapes stop occasionally but the Level 2 remains intact. We're at the mercy of...

Last disconnect lasted 3 attempts. Damnit. It's not my ISP because my other computer on the network is fine. Shit.

Anyone having connection problems this morning? I've been knocked off 3x. It reconnects right away but it's unnerving nevertheless.
