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...

I just discovered: - the NASD Regulation website, with - a section on the new daytrading rules, and - a new article on the new daytrading rules. **NASD REGULATION WEBSITE If you are interested in keeping an eye out for potential new regulations (which seems to be a good idea these...

Fohat and def, I try to read everything you two say about the new trading rules. I realize that both of you have put in a lot of time and effort to answer questions and post info here. THANK YOU. brokershopping, Your most recent comment also helped me understand a facet of all this...

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. :)

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...

Kicking mentioned TA for the Trading Professional. So I decided to look it up on amazon.com. Right below it was the following: Day Trade Online : Start Trading for a Libing Today! (Wiley Audio) [ABRIDGED] by Christopher A. Farrell (Reader) (Audio Cassette - October 2000) Didn't...

wirehead, Thanks for your reply to babe714, whose problem is beyond my very limited computer expertise. I always appreciate the willingness of people on this board to help each other. babe714, I will comment that I found it more difficult to seat the ram in my second computer than in my...

Babak, Thanks very much for your info on prophetfinance's charts and data.

Coops, Would you tell me how to turn off windows autoupdate? I have Windows2000, but directions for any operating system might get me started. I also have zonealarm. We seem to share a strong distaste for MS's intrusive ways. Thanks

:) :) :) :) :) What a FUN thread!!! Thanks Trader01 and all participants!!! :) :) :) :) :)

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...

You didn't ask, but I got my latest ram from crucial.com. They are connected to Micron Technology and my ram has Micron stamped on it. So I feel very confident about the quality.

Vinnie, I raised the question of a class action suit in another thread. You might find the responses interesting. Here is the page with my initial post: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1551&perpage=6&pagenumber=15 I am not pursuing the idea right now because I...

babe714, I forgot. There is another way you can check ram amount if you have Windows2000. Right click on the any empty space on the bar that has the Start button on it. On resulting popup, click on Task Manager. This will bring up another popup that states the amount of ram (Physical...

babe714, Yes, that is how I tell on my computer with Windows2000. (I right click the My Computer icon on my desktop, then click properties, and then select the General tab if it is not on top. It states my ram in KB, which surprised me. I expected MB.) With Windows95, I also could see the...

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...

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...
