def, what did you mean with "1. no day trading margin" ?

a nice article - http://www.mrci.com/lbr/brents.pdf

Zarrar - i am sitting here in europe and watch the incredible horror that happened in your hometown and in washington. i wish i could do anything - but all i can do is to send my deepest sympathy to you and everybody in the united states. let's hope a way can be found to get over this...

i am here in europe and watch the things with great consternation. i feel deep sympathy for the entire usa. this is a new chapter in the history of international terrorism.

yeah - i guess break even is both - the second best AND the second worst way things can go ...

tuna - i'm from austria - so i am also a guest to the us-markets

tuna - i don't know exactly what you mean - but i'm affected too by the $25K-rule - my post should be considered as a sarcasm ...

Htrader - thanks for your words. i guess that's one part of becoming a good trader: to concentrate on making good trades according to a precise trading plan. that's probably much better than trying to reach a certain dollar amount every day - cause the market just won't give you the same gains...

everything's ok bubba - lust like everywhere in the world - there are good people - and there are better people

this is one of the reasons why i think it would be better to concentrate on one market and trade it day by day: working like this i guess one should be able to learn the details of all the specific games and fakes of this single market. if somebody trades only one ("his") market, he should be in...

although i'm new in the business and probably should not give any advice - there's on thing i always wanted to avoid: do not consider the market as a monster or wild animal or whatever. here is a good article about this: http://www.ruthroosevelt.com/article_metaphor.html i like the...

please think for a moment about the following: when a new trader starts trading, he will make certain losses and blow at least a few percent of his starting capital in the trading account. the more he learns about the markets and about what works best for him, he should (hopefully) be able...

i guess the ultimate logical step would be: simply forbid daytrading for every private trader. advantages for the "big boys" (nasd members, market makers): wider spreads, less interference disadvantage: less volume what i would like to know: when did it start to become possible for...

that's right - but there are probably lots of traders who started trading this year and learned about the rule when it was already too late.

airspeed - better send a tape :(

why don't you guys write a letter to president bush? this rule is a serious intervention in the free market access. the point is, that in a few years or even earlier there could be another regulation that makes it even more difficult to trade for the little guy. everybody who currently...

i haven't yet traded futures - but for what i have watched so far, i guess there are at least the following advantages: futures (i think mainly about the nq mini) tend to have a fixed spread during the main trading hours (9.30 to 16.00). spreads of nasdaq stocks can sometimes be too wide -...

dkamp - the problem was fixed - but not completely i guess. the livecharts quotes didn't correspond with the tws-quotes for the rest of the day.

DT-waw - i noticed the same issue, the livecharts seem to have a problem today with e-mini quotes as well as nasdaq-quotes and some other ones. the nasdaq quotes started at 09.45 with the quotes from 09.30 - same seems to be valid for the e-minis (obviously they started at 09.30 with 15...

i guess for many traders there will come the time, when one asks himself about all the sense of what he is doing. i mean - you sit in front of your screen all day long - you're buying, you're selling - and even if you are doing well sooner or later there will come the day when you recognize...
