Good thread.

Yeah, I'm curious about #1, too.

They keep opening up Scottrade offices by me. Do you need any licenses or anything to work there? Will they sponsor you?

Bump. I just found out about them, too. Their website says their candidates need strong C++ and Visual Basic programming skills. Uh, for trading? How's that work? Are they developing black box systems or something? I have an MIS degree but I'm not a very good programmer. I'd like to be a...

I only practice on free online games. Here is a free roulette simulator (use Internet Explorer if it doesn't work in Firefox). The table has a limit of $1,000 per bet, so I usually use $5 bets with the Martingale system: http://www.ildado.com/free_roulette.html

I like to play roulette. I usually use a Martinegale betting system, but under the wrong circumstances it can wipe out your whole "account" in just a few bad spins. I'm curious if anyone here gambles, and if your money management systems in gambling have been affected at all by your...

Awesome. I haven't heard back from any of those companies. :mad:

I'm only interested in trading stocks at this point. Yes, I looked into saxobank. Thanks for the suggestion. And thanks for JMowery for all the links.

Thanks.

Yeah, I searched for "insurance" but I didn't find what I was looking for. I'll try again.

What does "bad tick" mean?

Chart from finance.yahoo.com. I would have expected a big uptrend after the first one, but it didn't really come. But after the second one, there was a downtrend, which I would have expected, too. Right? I'm kind of a noob to all of this. <img...

I'm pretty sure daytrading doesn't provide health benefits. What kind of health insurance do you guys have? edit - I'm currently unemployed so I'm especially interested in this topic.

Doesn't IB require you to have a fully funded account before you can use their "paper trading" account? I'd prefer to not have to put money into something as I already have an account with Scottrade that I use for swing/long term trading.

Ok seriously, in my VSE "game," I shorted AMR like an hour ago, and it would have been nice to cover 25 min later, but it's an hour later and my short order hasn't even shown up yet. I think I will look into other simulators.

^ I'll look into that one. I set up a VSE "game" or whatever last night, and I'm "playing" it today, but the only thing I don't like is that your orders don't take effect for 20 minutes after you place them. So it appears that if you need to sell right away, you're kinda out of luck...

Thanks.

Excuse my noob question but what company owns myspace and what is the symbol? Myspace seems to be all over the news recently (not usually for good things), but I'm in my mid 20s and I use it to keep in touch with a lot of friends from college. Of course, the vast majority of users seem to...

My apologies if this is the wrong forum. Is there a site where you can use a practice account to try out daytrading strategies? Preferrably something free, but if there's a small monthly fee I guess that's ok, too. Thanks. Oh, and would this be a good way to practice, or is it completely...

I was trying to recreate it on stockcharts.com :) Based on their few screen shots, I'm almost positive it's just two MAs. Maybe there's some volume factored in. Maybe.
