    Why actively trade ETFs?

    Thanks Deron for starting this thread... As far as th BBH, I don't see where it broke it's 200 day EMA.. it thrust above it's simple moving average on one day... but as a swing trader I would not get in on that alone in a bear market.. would want to see it close above and hold on more than a...

    Best options broker?

    meant to say.... IF you "try" to exit long side and leaves you short..... particularly on an index spread (since they do not allow naked index options yet) the computer won't "allow" you to exit... if that will place you in a margin call TEMPORARILY" even if you intend to roll into a...

    Best options broker?

    Don't know who is best... but I can tell you who is not very good right now, and that is "Cybertrader" (the sponsors of this forum). Now that's a gas... them sponsoring 'this' forum. But they are good at one thing... marketing! Not only are their commsisions unreasonably prohibitive (what...

    why no extended-hour session for stock options?

    I DO however believe there should be option trading after hours... But that is not what you are here for... you are here GDZ, to indict all others making markets... without whom (b.t.w.) you'd have NO chance for participation at all. I

    why no extended-hour session for stock options?

    I am just curious... no offense, but are you participating in the equities and options market to lose money or to make money?! >laugh> AND then I wonder what kind of upbringing you had such that you "grew up" to be a carping baby thinking the world owes YOU a living?! Your view seems to be...

    what i've learned + ceasefire

    interesting post... But no offense, it doesn't sound like you "learned" anything important. What you mentioned could be garnered out of any medicore "trading" book. When you come back to ET someday... and indicate that you've learned what makes you "tick" AND that you know not only the...

    Pattern Daytrading poll

    take it from me... I've been in the markets for years: the sooner you stop looking for excuses... the sooner you might.. I repeat "might" begin to perform! As I said in previous posts, I'm all for standing up for a cause... and dislike any rule interfering with free acess to the markets...

    Pattern Daytrading poll

    that doesn't hold up... isn't regular margin of 2/1 enough for a beginner to "try out" trading... someone starting to trade is well-advised not to do large positions in equities, and options particularly I do think that options should be excluded from the PDT rules. Period!

    Pattern Daytrading poll

    For the "record" I am against government interference with the markets. I have long been an outspoken critic of many policies that give utterly unfair advanatage to the pros. And thus I don't believe the rules on PDT or any other implementation such as that, are appropriate in the markets. But...

    Pattern Daytrading poll

    This entire thread is a b*tch about PDT by those tyring to day trade volatile and tough markets... with less than 25K?! Aside from any rule, I don't think a broker should allow that anyway. But greed, competition and lack of any concern for the client/ customer lets brokers take anyone to trade...

    Please please help

    neither... it just is part of the game... early stops and missed opportunities. >>The goal is to minimize both, can't eliminate entirely; and then accept that which you cannot perfectly change! Further... one does not " suck more?! IF it feels like it does, as you describe (in...
