Candle, I did go through your post on stops. I didn't see any mention on how you set your stop-loss? Any comments? -FastTrader

Candle, any comment on reversing your position at the stop price? Thank you. -FastTrader :)

I'm also awaiting some answers from fellow ET'ers. Another question I'd like to throw into this mix is, when trading a stock, should one set thier stop to automatically reverse their position when it gets hit. Here's what I mean: Suppose you go long 1,000 sh. of QQQ at $30.00 Should the...

I used to be with Freetrade, but after several bad fills/executions, I moved my account to Interactive Brokers. Commissions are reasonable, platform is easy to use, and the executions are FAST. -FastTrader :cool:

I've had both, and Lexus actually has much better customer service than MB. The Corvette is nice. Have an 01' coupe right now for the weekends. For regular cruising/every-day driving, check out the Acuras. A lot of car for the money. The Lexus is also pretty damn good. The new MB S600 is f'in...

prox, good post. Thanks.

gotta_trade, absolutely. No rush here my friend.

Any specific recommendations? E-Signal?

My charting program does not chart the NQ or ES...can these 2 be traded off the Nasdaq100 and S&P500 charts? -FastTrader

First of all, did you start your trading career with the e-mini futures, or did you transition to trading index futures from first trading stocks? I currently trade Nasdaq equities but in the future would like to trade the e-mini as well. What kind of skill can I build in the equity market that...

I checked out the place NihabaAshi chats in, and liked it. To the point, entry/exit. No BS. I would join it, but I don't trade the e-mini (YET) :D -FastTrader :cool:

RAMOUTAR, thanks for the great post. I might PM you later today with some specific questions. -FastTrader :cool:

Stress-free trading? What's that? :p :D -FastTrader

"Trailing" stops...they trail and move with the price, so it would get hit if/when the price moved down later in the day. -FastTrader

I expect to build my trading skill to a level where I can make $1K within the first hour. It's do-able. I see the moves all the time right in front of my eyes. Just have to start pulling the trigger more quickly, and then have a good trade management plan. I will also increase the use of...

Any thoughts on my morning trades? -FastTrader

eSignal is not a broker, so you will still need a brokerage account with a direct access broker. I was also with Ameritrade/Freetrade and got sick of the bad fills and switched to Interactive Brokers about 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier. The platform is nice and easy to use and the fills...

That's what I thought you meant (over the counter), but I thought OTC stocks were mostly penny stocks and I usually trade stocks between $20 and $70 so was a little confused for a minute. But, yes I do mostly trade Nasdaq stocks since executions/fills are better than NYSE but I do not use Level...

OTC? Please explain. I'm currently not using Level II quotes. Used to have Level II but haven't ordered the Level II feed through IB yet. -FastTrader

Some further notes on my trades: Hit a high of 31.47 later in the day. I could have made at least $500 on this one. Hit a high of 36.33 Beautiful morning for this one. Hit a high of 25.05 Went down to 29.50. I was expecting this to drop to 29.85 at least, but covered due to lack of time...
