mlsignups, It's my understanding that the specialists at NYSE can see the stops but stop orders put in on NASDQ can not be seen. You might try setting an alarm with the TWS at your stop if you trade mostly NYSE; that way, only you will know where it is at. Good Trading.

Flexibility is good as long as you don't get flexible after you enter the trade.

That's good advice. The only thing I would add to it is to know when to sit out. Everybody has lost money. Learn from it and move on.

Congratulations ET. The recognition is well deserved; however, in my opinion, ET has been better. Good Trading to all.

brownsfan019, marketsurfer has given you some valuable info. Look at it before you spend 1K. Good Trading

If you're just trying to test a strategy, how can scaling 200 sh lots hurt you tax wise. :confused: Do it in your main account, if it works then keep doing it. If it doesn't work, stop. How hard can that be?

Sounds like the old "I've got this friend......." Maybe you've taken a hit and you're down to 10K and you're trying to figure out what to do. If that's the case, I suggest you stop trading until you get 25K or learn to live with the 3 trades a week for a while.

Absolutely agree. I've sent CNBC several emails, but they've done nothing. They got rid of McEnroe and Miller now they need to finish the good work.

I've been with IB for approx. 4 years and they are without a question the best. The commission rates are a gift which helps to level the playing field for the individual trader My hat is off to IB and to you, def, for your presence here at ET. Thank You. Stockerup

Apex, I think you're right. It fits the technical pattern perfect. We'll just have to see where it goes. Good trading to all.

I totally agree with you, zdreg. This thread and the originator fit the Yahoo profile perfect. With that sad, I'm done with this losing thread. Good trading to all.

That looks like the response of somebody that doesn't know what they're doing.

Not so. If you have a system that works 50% of the time. Small losses offset by large gains results in net positive. You sound extremely immature as a trader. Maybe you need to go back and read some more books-- that is if you're around much longer.

Did somebody tell you that, or did you just make that up? If you are serious about that statement, I doubt you'll be around long. It only takes one big loss and you're out for good. Did you figure that into your research?:confused:

Yes.

A few months back I researched this out and came to the conclusion that Texas was the best choice. Tenn. was second. These two states are not as exotic as some of the others but, financially they make more sense. Keep in mind that what you don't pay in income taxes, you will make up in...

I read EricP's previous post and thought I'd give a good word for Dell. I had a problem and they responded promptly, sent a tech out to my office and, after three different trips, my computer is working great. They replaced the mother board, processor, and video card; all under warranty...

I don't know what you're talking about. I think IB's order execution is great. I've been with them a couple of years now, and I've never had a problem with IB's execution. If anything, I'd have to say by my experience of being with two other brokers that IB's fills are lightning fast and...

Congratulations IB. It is well deserved.
