    New Laptop AMD or Intel ?

    Thanks but a 17" laptop is a little big, I travel ALOT. I am looking in the 14 or 15" Widescreen range. $950-$1200. My question was more directed at which manufacturer of chip AMD or Intel. The AMD is 64 bit right? isn't that an advantage over Intel?

    New Laptop AMD or Intel ?

    Sale Soft & Books

    In case you haven't noticed this dude is selling software with a Russian email address. Besides being illegal to do this in the USA, would you really want to give some Russian selling software illegally your credit card number? ROFLMAO!

    We've all heard this before...

    A new trader with 30k maxing margin is a sure way to being broke within 10 days or less. I recommend be conservative, with 30K no more than 5 or 6 k in any one stock. Go at it slowly, test your system in real time. Good luck

    I closed my IB account

    Awwwww, c'mon now! There are many of us here that trade with IB with NO problems whatsoever! The problem is a combination of your old hardware, win98 and your ability to install Java and TWS properly. Buy a new puter with a clean XP install and start over. Follow the directions at IB...

    Complain about Interactive Brokers (IB)

    Just as I anticipated, he did not apologize for 27 pages of whining. Initial impressions are often the correct one.

    Complain about Interactive Brokers (IB)

    You owe IB a public apology for all your whining and bashing. You did not follow simple and clear IB instructions. Good luck following "your" trading system. Let us know when you have blown through your $ 4,975.00 and have moved on to other endeavors.

    Complain about Interactive Brokers (IB)

    Suggestion to IB: Refuse to open his account and send him his money back with 14 days interest at current money market rates. This piddely 5k account will no doubt be a lot more trouble than it's worth.

    why all the ib bashing?

    I have been with IB for over 5 years with NO problems whatsoever. That 7thdim fellow is a real whiner, he should take his issues up with IB directly, especially since he is foreign (offshore account) and playing with nickels and dimes (under 5k). There are different rules for offshore...

    Is $5,000 enough to get started with trading?

    You have 2 choices, 1) Swing trade, no more than 3 round trips per 5 days (check on that) until you have at least 25k in your account. 2) Las Vegas, free drinks too! (Forget the prop firm, 5k is too small, you will lose it in a couple days and NO free drinks!) Option 1 is your best...
