I have a simulation trading account. I am trading stocks only. I do intraday swing, closing all my positions before 4pm. It seems the P&L on IB trading page does not include commssions and fees. Can anyone confirm this? Is there a setting I can change to make the P&L include fees? ($0.005...

Will I have an edge when I have "edgeless" monitors?

Nothing new here. He treats it like a game. He gambled. Since it is a game, there are always winners, and theer are always losers. Some of people here are/will be winners, but majority are/will be losers. That's just the way it is

The title of this post is wrong.(not just misleading). If he had done day trading, he probably wouldn't lose that much. Day trading avoid gap downs.

too bad oil is not just US thing. FED can do little about it. There is a increasing demand for oil globally.

In Chinese stock market, "red" is up and "green" is down. FYI

I wouldn't call him a great trader. In the end he lost all and killed himself. He is gambler for sure. Don't say that if he had good money management skill he would end up better. The fact is if he had better mone management, he wouldn't make that much gain eitehr. Risk and reward are...

Thanks everyone for teh help. I do like the post "simple prifot method" and have followed that thread for quite a while. I am looking for more specific infomation on which broker can give me the alert that I want. I have an account with TDAMERITRADE, but their alert seems based on...

I am talking about intraday trading. The period for a position could be few hours(if things go well) to few minutes(if things go completely opposite). I usually look at 5 minutes charts,, but sometimes 1 minute chartsa s well. Assuming, just assuming, that you have a strategy that works...

"Position trading conservative front month ITM debit spread, ITM long options and some CC out of a 100k account. Is this doable using options or my target is unrealistic?" Yes, It is very doable, but just don't know whether you will profit 100% or lose 100%.

I have a TDAMERITRADE account. I can only get intraday data for most recent 5 days. Yahoo finance and MSN also only have 5 day intraday data available. Where can I get historical stock intraday data, or it is just too much that nobody keeps it? TIA Freewilly

Thank you very much, trade3. Which firm that has real time simulator would you recommend? Freewilly

Thanks, guys. http://www.futuresource.com/ is what I want. I signed up for a free premium chart service, but I haven't receive the confirmation email yet. Even so, from what I can get on that site now, it is pretty close to what I want. Thank you for all the advices. If I start to trade...

Would like to learn about E-MINI. My account is TDameritrade which doesn't do E-MINI. I checked CME website, but the intraday charting does not have all the info I want. I want some charts that provides volume, intraday, 5 minutes period, or even 2 minute period. You can put indicators on the...

Yes, I give some serious thoughts on swing trading (holding stocks for few days to few weeks) and position trading (holding stocks for 1 month at least), but I have done back testing on swing trading, I can only have limited gain. So far, only thing that works on my paper trading is intraday...

Thanks all. The only reason I haven't spend time looking up tradings on futures, currencies, etc is because "my impression" is that majority of traders there are experienced, or professional. It is pretty much a zero sum game for those tradings. It would be an up-hill battle for me. I GUESS...

Thank you so much guys. I am in my office now, but definitely will look at them tonight. Good luck, everyone, Freewilly
