Over the last few years TS has lowered their commissions to remain competitive with other brokers. Every time they lower their commissions you would assume that their existing customer base would receive the benefits of the price reduction, but you have to specifically request the change. I've...

As far as I know I haven't had a problem with hidden charges, but as another poster mentioned, I've had BIG problems trying to get lowered commission rates. They aren't automatically transfered, which smacks of fraudulent advertising to me. Anyway, good company - too damn expensive for what I...

There are several possibilities here: the most likely is that your teacher is speaking in very general terms since he doesn't really understand the mechanics of how currency is traded. There are a few ways to trade currencies. For the average bloke the easiest way is to open an account with a...

I'm not sure, but it sounds like you are referring to Elder's system. Are you? I think you'll find that most M/A type cross-over systems simply don't work unless the market trends really well. For example, a tech stock might jump around depending on how much coffee traders consume prior to...

If you take a look at the ticker GEA it is listed as Gen Electric Cap 6.625% PINES. I'm guessing that this is a preferential stock for GE or possibly some kind of trading bond, but what does the "pines" part refer to? Anyone know?

Today (March 25, Tokyo) I got an email reply from customer service to an email I sent on March 8th!

By EL I assume you mean "easy language". In which case you need to show people part of your code. Also, you will probably want to direct this thread over to tsworld - that's why it's there. Without seeing what you've written, my best guess is that you've made an error on the "points" increments.

Another possibility for your broker taking you out of the position is that your margin requirements may have changed. Brokers are at the mercy of the regulating bodies when it comes to how much leverage they are allowed to offer. After initiating the position you may have had your margin...

and I'd have to say that Mecro is party right. Over the past few years several Japanese banks have folded / consolidated. Fortunately the government has stepped in to prevent mass panic. There are several reasons for the insolvency of these massive financial institutions, but one BIG reason is...

Well, I joined poker stars and decided to play with play money for a while since I'm not sure how interested I am in poker and I KNOW I don't know how to play yet. The 1st couple of times I blew out big time, but now my play money stack is starting to grow noticably. The biggest problem to...

I had no idea there was such a thing as micro betting! That sounds like more fun than play money. I'll check out your suggestions. Smurf

I'm thinking of joining an online Texas Holdem site and playing for fake money. Any suggestions? Where should I start to develop my skills?

Hi Michael, I'm a TS user and fairly happy with the product. I'm a very simple trader and don't use many of the bells and whistles that comes with TS. One thing I would like to see, and the people at TS World obviously agree with me, is to implement OCO orders. Please tell me that OCO orders or...

Figured out how to use a stock screener - feel a bit silly actually. I didn't know most screeners incorporated book ratio into their screens.

Anyone know an easy way to identify stocks that are trading at a discount to their book value? Any insights appreciated!

But your biggest problem is that you haven't taken responsibility for your trades. In accessing your drawdown you blamed the service that you are using. In most cases, people who rely on services end up in the red because they abdicate responsibility for the trade in favor of a faceless entity...

David, In the example of JCP it seemed clear that your projections were calling for a decisive decline. Over the next few weeks this will be easy for ET members to verify. However, in the case of MAS it is unclear what you are trying to say/show. According to your projections it could go up...
