    Oh NO!

    I tried to put Jesse J. on my ignore list but E.T. won't block him out unless my I.E. security is taken off the highest level. I don't want to compromise my security, but I don't think I could stand another day of that wanker and his inane posts. Is there anyway to have my cake and eat it, too?

    Why Not Use Margin?

    Are you trying to get people to dissuade you from using margin? Perhaps you could be a little clearer about the purpose of your original post. I think most people here will agree that margin is a wonderful tool if used properly. If you habitually abuse your margin power you will eventually...

    Starting a newsletter...

    This isn't especially related to newsletters but.... I once joined a stock picking service's free one week trial. I figured I'd track their results and see if I could glean any insights from their picks. I got the first night's picks and looked at the charts. I couldn't see how they expected...

    How much is $100 Million (CAD)?

    I read in the news today that Canada (my home and native land) has pledged $100 million in aid to Iraq. Normally a pledge of aid wouldn't bother me in the least - wealthy countries have at least a modicum of responsibility to help less fortunate countries in their times of need. However...

    TradeStation Problems 4/7/03

    Had the same problem on TS6 (TS7 sucks ass). Had to use time of sales... Though in fairness, this is the first time something like this has happened. And they could have picked a better day to trouble-shoot... Todays trades were: Long EBAY @ 90.8, out at 91.2 Short T @ 15.49, BTC @ 15.25

    Trading US markets from Japan?

    Yeah, the teaching / trading combo is pretty cool. You can make a decent living from teaching, all the while honing your trading skills. You can work as much or as little as you like and can charge as much per hour as you think the market can take. Do you trade EOD or intra day? What platform?

    Trading US markets from Japan?

    I trade from Tokyo. Yeah, the hours are a real bitch. When I started I wanted to be a day trader, but basically it meant never sleeping. I decided to focus on EOD, which is nice because it gives me the whole day to prepare. I go to sleep after the opening (about 12:30) and wake up for the close...

    French Gratitude

    but have you noticed that most of the war supporters seem to use considerable more profanity than the anti-war posters? Makes you wonder if any conclusions can be drawn??

    NYSE Specialist is Fair!

    I had a stop loss order get hit the other day on a NYSE stock. The slippage on the trade was 10% of the value of the stock. Even in a fast market that defies explanation. I was very fortunate b/c I started with 2000 shares and got rid of the first 1500 at a profit. It was only the remaining...

    Trader characteristics

    Enjoy The Game. I do and teach martial arts at a semi-professional level. When people first join the dojo they want to be turned into the badest ninja/Jet Lee/Jackie Chan/ Seagal that they can be. They quickly figure out that there is a lot of pain on the road to improvement. The ones who...

    TradeStation 7 Released & New Lower Commissions

    Yesterday I was having troubles with TS6 and decided to re-install it. I uninstalled TS6 and went to the re-install prompt. Since I didn't have any versions of TS on my computer I was able to download TS7. I installed it and added all my saved work spaces, etc. I tried to use the strategies that...

    Spy X - Div

    Presumably the figure $1.74 is an annual figure, right? Also, how could Yahoo post this quarter's dividend if the Amex hasn't posted it yet?? Thanks for taking a moment to look it up. All assistance appreciated.

    Spy X - Div

    Before I place orders in any stock I take a moment to check when the nearest X-Div day as a factor for consideration. I'm thinking about trading SPY on Wed. but noticed that the X-Div date is on the 21st. Could someone confirm the amount of the payout? I went to "company boardroom" and it says...

    TV commercials prelude stock runups

    He might be on to something. I've read that stocks associated with book publications ( ie a Jack Walsh book), usually do well around time of publication. Could be similar factors at work here.

    Any advice for a beginner short-term trader?

    Trust me bud, the last thing you want to do is go borrowing money when you are a first year student so you can 'play' the market. The odds are very good that you will lose a good part of that money, if not all of it. And the pisser is that you have to pay it back one day. Why not play with a...

    Backtesting of this TS System:

    But I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole without some sample reports and time to do adequate testing of my own. Have you tried futurestruth.com or other watchdog type site? Let us know how it works for you.
