Lars : reply part 2 as for concerns, that europe's regulators might impose similar rules for daytraders in the near future : I think not for following reasons : 1. We have no institution in Europe comparable to the SEC ! 2. Trading stocks on margin is not very wide-spread in Europe...

Hi Lars, actually, I'm from europe and traded the US markets since beginn of 1999 exclusively via US brokers ( Datek & IB ). But US trading has been only part of my trading activity and I always maintained 2 accounts with European ( german ) brokers as well. Nowadays, you have also well...

I wonder how this new rule will affect traders from foreign countries. Suppose I have an account with an european broker who offers intradaytrading on european exchanges as well as on US markets. Suppose further, that many US stocks are listed also on foreign exchanges and can be traded...

Hi praetorian well, one wouldn't need to have all the levels displayed on a chart - only the few important ones for the day. They are re-calculated every day after the close. TP's interface displays all levels in different coulours and the important ones are in displayed in separate fields...

dlincke, I have used eSignal, quote.com and some other well known "professional services" and shelled out enough money for them. All I got was either a crashed computer because the software appeared to be a memory resource hog or delays in quote-services because the service hasn't enough...

Greg, you don't have to apologize for the length of your post. Your trading plan : with exception of the ATR calculations I can follow you. Not that I don't know what ATR means and how it's calculated. I use a somewhat similar approach with MetaStock to determine position-size in relation...

daniel, I'd check with your broker, what kind of insurance they have. Minimum should be SIPC Coverage. If they don't have even this minimum, I'd look for another broker asap ! SIPC coverage The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) provides protection to customers of United...

Trader WJ - maybe I'am a novice in net-issues and bandwidth - so could you please explain, why the use of QT with IB RT quotes would lead to the need of much more bandwidth for IB ? Quotes are submitted anyway through the JTWS. I think,displaying charts by using IB's quotes via QT has nothing...

Hi gh1 - nice that you find our thread helpful. You made some good points. Trade management is the money-maker here. I think, we have defined the pattern we are looking for in great detail on one of the first pages of this thread. For what concerns entries, profit-targets, exits and...

Praetorian2 - I still read all of your posts. Simply because I'm interested, how this pattern works out . Since I don't have the time for daytrading right now (I'm very busy with an important project), I don't post specific stocks appearing on my scans. For what concerns price / volume ...

dlincke - IB's quotes have been free with their demoversion in the past. You can still use them for free, I guess, with their new JTWS demo. Otherwise, the demo wouldn't make any sense.I think, IB doesn't maintain a special server for delayed or fake RT quotes just for demo purposes. The...

DtSec thanks for the iniative - I'll be on your side and will send a mail to IB.

This is really a blow against the many smaller online traders. They have no chance to short. However, a swing or position-trader with less than 25K in his account could still use options instead of going short the stock. Wonder why they referred to the Atlanta shooting again in the...

roger2 although there's a link on IB's website to their directory of stocks which can be borrowed, you'll find no symbols there. Instead, they maintain a list of stocks, which can not be borrowed due to uniform practices code, rule 11830...
