    Can you place orders before the market opens? (newb question)

    how did you find this board exactly? you would have a better chance at trying to become a major league baseball player to make your million in five years. why don't you start with a more reasonable goal for a beginner of, say, trying to go an entire three month period without losing money.

    Waiting period on new registrants

    I agree with this. Maybe read-only access until they pay it in case they run across a thread on Google they want to read (which is actually how I found this site).
