I agree, if you don't use their charts, and don't use their hostile customer service, and don't trade on days their system is going down, then they are great. I am glad you two didn't get the deal that I did where their upgrade caused me a big fat loss when there system went down in the...

I have seen a lot of losers who average down and then take some blow out losses. I can only remember one really profitable trader who used this approach, and the only difference was that he had a range where he would average down, but if the market moved against him too much then he would...

I have problems some times with OEC charts stopping around the time the market opens. I think it has to do with the volume, it seems if the volume gets a little heavy then they start having problems. it usually happens within 10 minutes of the market opening, I never really thought about it...

ok, I watched your youtube video then went to your website and read several of the pages there. so, WTF is this? after looking at it and reading about it, I still have no idea what planet your from or if your really trading anything on earth? what does Cymborg or Cyborg mean or do? do I...

last month I switch to Infinity, their commissions are less than open E cry, (I am paying $4.30 flat for a round turn at Infinity) and Infinity is a lot more stable, no problems so far with charts or execution. I had a problem with Infinity last year, but one of the managers there paid me...

yesterday my charts were running slow enough to make them impossible for me to use for day trading. I guess if your a long term trader and it doesn't make any difference if your charts are a couple points off where the market is then you might be ok. it's been over a month now, and it...

your probably right, if your losing a tick on each buy, and then you somehow manage to lose a tick on each sell, you should probably just give up right there. since your getting filled below the market on your exit.

so your looking to get in only paying half a tick? sounds like you need to be using limit orders. also, normally you don't pay one tick to get in and one to get out. for example, the market is at 1063.50 on the bid and 1063.75 on the ask. using market orders, if you buy at 1063.75...

how many trades did your 20% drawdown include? and over what period of time? also, do you make money during the summer months when volume is lower?

StLouisTrader, I was just was wondering if you use any type of bankroll management on your trades? if so how do you do it? (if you don't mind sharing) I know some top traders who are just so good they never even think about it, and others who are very strict about never using leverage and...

if your trading stocks, it depends a lot on the stock. but if you place your trade then wait about 7 seconds, watch the time and sales during this time and take the worst price printed during that 7 seconds. (assuming your stock is trading enough volume to give you several prints during this...

I have had accounts at about 8 different brokers and for limit orders they all seem to be about the same, and you always get put at the back of the line, I have never heard of any exceptions to this. I have been having a lot of problems with open E cry for the last month with order...

romik, do you still trade this way? if so what kind of volume are you looking for? more than 10k on a 1 minute chart?

ok, here is my 2 cents worth. I recently read that 4 out of 5 restaurants fail in less than a year. I know about a dozen people who opened restaurants/coffee shops ect. and they all failed in less than a year, small sample size I know but to open a small restaurant you have to spend...

I have been going over this the last couple of weeks, I have a lot of trades where I put in a limit order to exit, the market goes right up to my limit order, then stops. I want the little extra I would get if I get filled on my limit order but then the market turns and I end up using a market...

I noticed the same thing.... LOL.

This reminds me of someone a couple years ago who said he was making a living trading, then it turns out he is living on his friends couch (not paying any rent) and eating out at taco bell once a week. so making enough money to live on is very subjective. :)

I have seen guys trade the stock and futures markets who were making insane amounts of money. There are places where they have buildings with entire floors full of these guys. Because I have seen this for myself I now tend to think of the stock market more like a pyramid scheme. There is a...

Timothy Sykes was a penny stock short seller who did this, then he wrote a book, about it, probably everything you wanted to know and more in his book. I have read the first part and it's pretty interesting. the title of the book is: An American Hedge Fund: How I Made $2 Million as a...

well, it's definitely the hardest way I know to make some easy money.
