ya sorry, Im not in a place to give you platform advice...I was going to ask you guys the same thing :) Definitely going to start doing some research today. I can't believe they wouldn't even give an explanation or a hey, its going to take a day or two...sorry. Before TD, I really felt...

Agreed....I was thinking about switching anyway since I've started primarily trading futures. This may be the last straw... Did the rep say anything about getting it fixed or timeframe? I assume its a server/software issue on their end and there is nothing we can do from our end.

Im having the same problem

Please feel free to respond to GG questions in the thread...I just don't want a whole bunch of long drawn-out questions. IE. In your opinion, what is Price Action? (that could created a 40 page thread by itself) but if it pertains to something you've responded to regarding a previous post, feel...

First off, woohoo, i've generated some conversation and discussion. This is great stuff guys, thanks! Went Fishing: Yes, I am not planning on being a scalper. However, I am interested in learning more about trading in the middle of the day, during choppy times...I know I know, one thing...

Bol, Sorry to leave you out :p Thanks for the tips...ya scalp type trades were a little risky today. I just realized I haven't been writing my stops down..I think i will start doing that so you guys can criticize me on that part of my trading.

Guys/Girls, A request...if you are replying to me or anyone else and you are quoting something, please delete the link to the chart/picture in the quote or just quote the sentence(s), in which you are refering to...(unless of course you need the chart in your reply) scrolling sideways...

All I can say is, WOW, the pros must have cleaned up today...this is one of those homerun type days. For me...not so much. Definitely a bit frustrating and got a bit angry that I got stopped out of my first trade. But thanks to volente and following his gap rule, I played the direction...

Today was an Uggggg day. Just seemed like I was so close to going on the right track really well, but just screwed up enough to make it a losing day. Trade 1: 7:39- Buy 1059.75 7:40- Sell 1059.25 -0.50 pts Within about 3 seconds of hitting the send button I realized this was a bad...

Any one have any threads/journals/etc the recommend on mean reversion and/or gap filling for the ES? Since it was another gap fill day, I figure I better start looking into this more along with volente's comments. hmmm... i guess i can search link in the upper left hand corner :)

Trade 1: 6:55- Short 1040.50...I was pretty happy with this entry, my criticism of myself would be that I was a bit premature, I think I should have waited for the bar to close below 1041.00 before entering trade for better confirmation. 6:59- Move stop to 1041.50 7:00- Stopped out to cover...

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the tips/advice. I can sim trade with this deal. However, right or wrong, I am going to give it a go with live trading for the rest of the week and see how it goes. As my old boss used to say, "its all in the recovery." So today I am going to do my best to stick...

What a crappy day for me. Pretty much the worst trading day, I've ever had. Just went against everything I am trying to do. Its 9:00am and I am done for the day because I am trading like poo. The Market was going to open down big, so I wanted to wait to see where it would go after the...

Ya sounds good...I will give you guys something a little bigger...uhhh awkward :) Thanks for the input so far. Those little kinks and quirks, like moving the stop to b/e, are coming forward full force now that I am trading for real. So hopefully with enough time I can move towards iron all...

8-23-2010 Day1: -1st two trades were ok...I felt good about the entries but I saw the momentum dying on the Timing and sales and that's why I moved the stops to the B/E. In the long run, I need to see if I need to follow my feel and exit or move the stop as I did today. 1st: +0.00 2nd...

Hey Guys, So I decided to start another ES mini journal. My goal is to learn what it takes to become more of a serious trader and look to earn more income through trading and, if possible, move to full time trading in the long run. I've paper traded off and on for awhile and I have found...

You gotta look at volatility, especially in the past couple of years. I don't think one has to go crazy with the greeks, but at the very least look at vega. Even if you are doing covered calls and spreads, both could easily loose money if vega or the skew goes against you by a large portion.

Errrr....so I should be moving to Nebraska?

Did you try negotiating or saying you are thinking about switching? I did that when I first signed up like two years ago and they were very open to changing my commissions. Not sure how it is now since they got bought out by TD ameritrade, but worth a shot. I must agree though, the analysis...
