The decent ticket prices aren't worth the hassle. 1. Customer service sucks. 2. It's a web based platform. Sometimes wierd things happen and getting on or getting a good refresh is problematic. 3. The layout sucks. Too much time spent flipping between screens. The screens are web based and...

:( I can only get to level 8. Anyone on 10 or higher?

Funster: I didn't know that about lots under 100 shares. Maybe I'll just trade 50 share lots across 100 different stocks!!! Man, would that piss off a lot of people! Commission would become a factor, but it'd be better than getting killed on slippage. BobCathy: Unfortunately this system...

is about 1.5 hours outside of central Tokyo. If you want to see anything of Tokyo then trust me, you don't want to stay near the airport. Tourists looking to go outside Tokyo for a spa usually end up at Nikko or Hakone. Of course there are hundreds of other places, but these are probably the...

Tell me where you are going to stay (what area) and how much you want to spend. I might know of something?

Yup! The slippage is killing me. I've only tested it for 3 days now and every day has been profitable ( I used 100 share lots), but the slippage is murder. I'm only realizing about 30% - 60% of the theoretical gains. Any brilliant (or otherwise) ideas on how to cut down slippage costs?

It safe to go to Thailand...

I'd like to real-time test a strategy I'm working on. Since it is a short term strategy, slippage will play an important role in identifying profitability. I'd like to check what kind of fills I get, but want to keep my potential losses to a minimum. I'm wondering if it is unreasonable to trade...

Could we stick with the original thread? I'm sure the Don Miller stuff is facinating to some - so why not start a separate thread and discuss it there?

Trade Your Way...

Where you are coming from now. Some of that makes sense to me... Most of my positions (the ones that work, anyway) are held for more than one day. So for me, the stop point represents the point at which the premise for the trade is invalidated. I like the idea of reducing exposure in...

Gordon brought up the idea of taking partial profits at specified intervals. Despite the improved probability of a vehicle going half as far as the implied risk, I think this is probably not such a great idea. By taking profits at a "half-way" junction you end up carrying more potential risk for...

TS6 can auto-trade your individual equities, but can't (to the best of my knowledge) test or auto-execute baskets of stocks.

And if they don't they make it pretty clear. Here are some really basic newbie tips: 1. Search ET for the answers to all your questions. If you want to know about books, search under books. There are about 500 threads on books. No need to start a new thread. 2. As some one else...

the folks at tradestationworld.com will help you with your "not so E.L." questions. It often takes a bit of time and more than 1 request, but you'll get an answer in the end.

I was in the convenience store yesterday and a guy totally flipped out on the cashier because they didn't have some product he wanted in stock. We've all seen freaks like this - people who have no control over their emotions. It doesn't happen often, but when I meet one of these people it's...

in Shibuya. I'm not sure what sort of services they offer, but I'll drop by next week and take a look.

My Japanese level is reasonably good, but that doesn't help much if there is no where to trade....

Anyone know of any prop firms in Japan?

Great idea. That'll save time. If I save an image as a PDF, I can cut and paste, right? Thanks for the replies Nitro. When Hill's new TradeStation book is available, I'll order them together.
