How real are they?

IB tells me that they do not allow the buying or selling of SSFs in an IRA. Does anyone know of a firm that does allow this?

In what instance would a series 7 or 63 license be required?

Hello Everyone, I have been trading successfully for about two years now. I am considering trading on behalf of a small group of investors. Can anyone point me in the direction of material that explains the in and outs of trading on behalf of others. I am particularly interested in the...

The email announcement said that it would have instant settlements, instead of the 3 day settlements of the normal IRA cash account. There would not be any actual margin (or loaning of money). Sounds like you could buy and sell to the limit of your account repeatedly in one day. Any...

I am looking for a place to trade professionally in Orange County, California. This can either be a regular job, or a split profits arrangement. I have been trading profitably for about 3 years. This has been a combination of day trading and swing trading. This trading has been in an IRA...

At least two years would be good. More is better. I can make good use of less, if I cannot get at least two years.

What kind of firm are you with? Norm

Is free historic intraday data available for BRCM?

I trade just about as frequenly as I can. There is no retriction, per se, against trading frequenly in an IRA. However, IRAs are non-margin accounts, so I must wait for settlement. This does tend to slow me down. Since IRAs are non-margin acounts, daytraders rule against frequent trading do...

I trade exclusively in an IRA now. I have been doing well and am considering trading in a non-IRA account. However, if about 40% of my profits are going to be paid as taxes each year, much of the incentive to trade outside of the IRA is lost. Are there ways to minimize taxes on trading...

, brokerages, or other places that hire traders. I am not interested in prop shops at this time. Norm

Many of us believe that market makers routinely manipulate markets or play tricks that cost us money. Can anyone elaborate on the tactics that market makers use?

If anyone has an impressive number of consecutive winning trades in a row, please let me know.

I would like to learn more about some of the subtleties of market making. Norm

Babak, I am not certain about the delay. However, the charts seem to remain unchanged for about one minute and then a new point appears to get ploted. Of course, it inherently takes time to accumulate volume data, as the trades are reported. Each volume bar represents the voume during...

It seems to me that volume for common stocks picks up just prior to intraday prices swings. This appears to be true for swings of .25 to 1.00 percent or more. Maybe this is market makers accumulating inventory or selling short in anticipation of the moves. Any comments on the use of volume...

Hello All, Can anyone please tell me how difficult it is to buy options at or near the bid and to sell at or near the ask. I suspect it is a matter of patience and luck, as with common stocks, but I have not yet tried. Thanks, Norm

I have been doing well daytrading common stock. I am trading in an IRA, so it takes three day after closing a trade for my funds to be available for trading again. Since it is one day for options and since I get some leverage with options (even in an IRA), I would like to start day trading...

The flat earth society is still around. That hardly validates it. And, if I am hanging around the wrong people, where do you suggest that I ask the question?
