I trade with TC2000 and QQL (5 min chart subscription). That combination is perfectly adequate for swingtrading. All my trading is based on scans that get my stocks on watchlists and visual monitoring of the stocks once they are on the list.

I think it is very unfortunate that def is not being allowed to contribute. It is also unfortunate that IB has not seen fit to throw a few dollars Baron's way. It is his board, however, and he writes the rules. As I pay nothing to use his facility I have no right to complain about any decision...

Unless terrorists have an atomic bomb, it is very difficult to do anything really nasty with radioactivity. For example, a spent fuel rod or anything else with enough gamma radiation to present a threat will kill anyone handling it long before he has a chance to kill anyone else...

Cockroaches can survive massive amounts of radiation, so the market makers should still be around.

I would not recommend money.net. When I signed up with them, they reneged on the terms of my subscription agreement, giving me a shorter trial period and charging me more thereafter. When I cancelled my subsciption they continued to charge to my credit card. They never respond to emails...

Hey, Nick, thanks for reminding me why I left the UK 30 years ago. It was full of arrogant people from privileged backgrounds who thought they knew it all then too. Most didn't. The trouble was that the old-boy system treated them as if they did. Unfortunately, in spite of your parents having...

Hrifraf Your first course of action should be to write to your provincial securities regulator, with a copy to your provicial finance minister demanding to know why they are obstructing the registration of Interactive Brokers in Canada. Secondly you should make a submission to the BC...

Of course, $3.70 is peanuts compared to what a swing trader can face with an overnight price shock. I was hit with a $13 loss (about 30%) on an overnight earnings warning in an insurance company, no less, in my second week of short-term trading. Prior to that, as a longer term trader, I took...

Earnings surprises tend to have an asymmetric effect. Strong, high relative strength, high P/E stocks tend not to jump a lot on good earnings news, but really tank on poor results. Low RS, low P/E stocks tend to shrug off bad news and respond well to good news. Therefore, in principle one...

My first name is Don and I play golf for money. I like my opponents to have a sense of overconfidence. At one time I was a duffer at this game too. I still am compared to some, but I think they are getting fewer as time goes by. Unfortunately I am unable to lure the market into a state of...

Roger Bannister was the first person to run a four minute mile, which some people said couldn't be done. I remember seeing him do it on TV just after I came home from school in the 50's. It was a little contrived, with the other runners acting as pacemakers, rather than trying to win the race...

I see the Questrade site has changed to remove the 10 cent per share fee. That's good. However, now it is not clear what remote traders would pay per share. No wonder this country is going down the drain when we have regulators and the IDA interfering in how people want to conduct their...

Please tell us which comments are misinformed. All the information I posted comes from your site. I am interested in the activities of the OSC. You say they "mandate" your software training course. What exactly does this mean? Is it a condition of your registration in Ontario that you force...

Ten cents a share plus exchange and ECN fees is fair for a newbie trading small position sizes while he tries to learn the game? And that after charging them $3500 in training fees. Sure, that sounds really attractive. Yes I know the software training fee is refundable from commissions, but...

May I second the comment about .doc files. I cannot see graphics in this format either. Annotated charts in .gif or .jpg format would be accessible to all.

Not me. It looks to me that just in case they don't make enough off you in outrageous commissions they are determined to get a big whack up front in so-called training. Do they demand you take the training before you can trade with them? There used to be an oufit in Ottawa that did that, to...

Neo, I trade pullbacks. I trade them profitably. Everything I can write down about trading them is written down on my bulletin board. My edge is described there. You are a member of my bulletin board and have had the chance to see everything I know. However, I only learned to trade them...

I hedge sometimes using the Q's and you can see my answer to your question in this thread: http://communities.msn.com/ShortTermStockTrading/general.msnw?action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=434&LastModified=4675355028236766777

I am channeling my reply to you, have you got it yet?
