    Options Trading Platform

    Lol...no wait a minute. If the stock goes to 111.50, then the 105 call will have a value of 6.50 at expiration...right? If the stock goes to 88.50, then the 95 put will have a value of 6.50...right? lol When I say sell, I mean I'm going "NAKED" for this bad boy...lol

    IB or Tradestation

    Right, the cheap one is going to be for EOD (end of day) data. If you were to buy the Metastock Pro 7.2 seperately, I believe real time data from eSignal would run about $125 a month.

    Options Trading Platform

    First, I just want to say that I'm not an options trader, so if I sound like an ignoramus, that's because I am. This is a strategy I heard worked well and wanted to get an opinion from one of you pros. Here goes: ABC stock $100 a share; Date Jan 1 Sell the Jan...

    IB or Tradestation

    Okay...then what I would suggest is you purchase a stand alone version of Tradestation (they sell them occasionally on Ebay) then hook up to eSignal using a program called "Dynastore" (you can find more info about dynastore on eSignals' web site). If you can't find...

    IB or Tradestation

    Depends on what kind of trading you're going to do. If you're going make 1 or 2 trades a month, you might as well go with TR6. If you're going to do 10 trades a day, you need to find the cheapest commissions possible. Hope this helps.

    what to do when you know how to make money...

    I'm not trying to put out your flame, but keep in mind that just because you can trade your own account, doesn't mean you can trade OPM. If you don't believe me, just read Marty Schwartz' book "Pit Bull". To summarize: It damn near killed him.

    Is Daytrading a Random Event?

    I guess the reason I use quotes of other traders is they have proven themselves efficient in their endeavors. Let's say you play golf and you want to learn how to play sand shots. Then me and Tiger Woods offer to give you lessons: And I say, don't pay any attention...

    Is Daytrading a Random Event?

    I have to agree with Darkhorse...this is solid, logical, thinking. Marty Schwartz is a legendary trader...he's great. When people ask him if they should try to make it as a trader this is what he tells them. Quote..."I always try to encourage people that are thinking of...

    Is Daytrading a Random Event?

    This guys' not Tony Oz, but he knows a little about trading. "The markets are not random. I don't care if the number of academicians who have argued the efficient market hypothesis would stretch to the moon and back if laid end to end; they are simply wrong...

    traders that lose money

    It would be interesting if one of these big brokerages did some tabulating on the trades made by traders. Take the ES e-mini for example: I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the statistics shows the average customer makes about a 1 to 1 ratio on his trades. And as we all know, your...
