    "Does anyone else use them? if please tell me if you are having the same problem i am ....." Nope no problems. I can still finish a post that explains my question just fine. :p

    A no-brainer day!

    I usually just chuckle and move along but for some reason I feel compelled to comment. Why are so many of you on this forum so over sensitive and touchy? I can understand the touchiness on shameless spam from a poster who's account is 30mins old but Candle isn't that new here. So he makes an...

    Someone cleaned up my IB account (almost)

    "I instdalled Zone Alarm yesterday, the pro version. I have already received several notices that someone was trying to get in. I would think it was just cookies or something but I was not even using the browser last time it happened. Scary stuff." Everyone who first gets a firewall says the...

    Point Direx

    after doing a ton of research. Seem to have the best mix of good reputation, reasonable commissions and customer service. IB is cheaper but not by a ton for my volume of trading. I purposely drove them nuts via email and phone asking questions followed by more questions in an effort to...

    POLL: What is your uncle point?

    I've been watching this thread as it is related to my stoploss thread last week. I am surprised to see flat dollar amounts as the only catagories when most money management systems I've seen and use follow a % system. Risk vs. reward presets and a maximum loss % of total account bankroll to...

    Guess I didn't takes his posts as slamming IB. At worst it may have woken up a few people who are lax on security in trade for a perceived better/faster connection etc.

    Have you ever been threatened by Interactive Brokers ? Yes, we did

    Starts with a guy admitting he broke US securities law and is whining that his broker made him undo the trade. Ends with him changing the subject to USA bashing. The colonialism aspect was amusing. God knows the French never had any colonies :p

    Someone cleaned up my IB account (almost)

    I recall in another thread someone questioning my statement about not using hotmail as a primary email acct. Although you didn't say you did that it goes to show how dangerous low security practices can be. Call the FBI if you haven't yet. Obviously change all your passwords including to...

    Voluminous Trading

    "IT ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE IT TAKES A WHOLE BUNCH OF GREEN UP VOLUME TO MAKE A STOCK MOVE UP IN PRICE, BUT ONLY A COUPLE OF TICKS OF RED VOLUME TO MAKE IT PLUNGE DOWNWARD!" That point I completely agree with.

    Voluminous Trading

    This is purposely overly extreme but here's what I mean: A stock opens at $15.00 and rises quickly to $16.00 on high volume. If a sale suddenly goes through at $15.50 for 100 shares and then the next 2 hours it trades back between $15.90 and $16.00 I don't see $15.50 as support. This 100...

    Voluminous Trading

    I use volume only to guage strength of the move. What are you using it for? I recall reading somewhere that too much volume kills the move. The first sharp dip always finds buyers and the first sharp rise always finds sellers. I usually watch the price and volume after a spike and buy the...

    Thoughts on Position Sizing

    Although I cannot answer your question with experience using it for stock trading I am familiar with it enough to know the concept applies to many different things. I count cards (BlackJack) and anyone who does this effectively is using a bet size system based on or loosely based on kelly...

    How wide a stoploss?

    1. I entered when it failed to break above 12.70 again but was filled at 12.60 (stupid uptick rule). My initial stop was at $13.01 and my target profit price was $11.80 but I like to trail behind my targets so they can run farther if they want to. Maybe in this market thats not a good idea...

    QQQ heading for 9-11 levels?

    Quote: "Check out www.vtoreport.com click on strategies... Ed" --------------------- Couldn't help but notice that at the bottom of that page it shows that the strategy used has lost money for the past 3 consecutive years. If I'm down for 30 days I start working on possible reasons why. :p
