    can someone tell me what happened here? IB

    Wow. I should think that if you are trading 4100 shares of an issue that it might make sense to learn how orders are processed. Even if you could have improved the order by .10, that alone would have been worth $400.00. A market order at that time of the day is like handing a thief your...

    Trading For Living - S&P 500 Market.

    It's nice that Becky Biggs is posting her trades, but I still see no strategy posted other than vague references to the a/d line. Maybe I just didn't read all of the posts in this thread and I missed it. Becky, the reason the haters come out is because hundreds of people come on this forum...

    Any Advisorys Services Profitable?

    I think the question was whether any of these services could help the OP make money / become a better trader. Your comments only point out that a successful marketer can make a lot of money setting up an advisory service. That, of course, begs the question, why would someone teach others how...

    Rumor: Bright Trader blows up and loses millions

    Biggest problem for new traders is that when they are given the opportunity to leverage 10-1 or more, they take it and only think about the upside. This Brandon trader was way over leveraged. There is a big difference between going "all-in" with all of your money on the table and going...

    A real profitable Trading Room with ALERTS??????

    I see why you have troubles. I never said LBR was a successful trader (she doesn't work her butt off marketing herself and her wares because she's just so "gosh darn charitable"). I, also, never said that you cannot learn methods that you can be successful at from unsuccessful traders...

    Has ER2 gone straight?

    The Russell has been a much stronger index than the S&P for quite a few months. The Russell is almost back to its June high while the S&P is about 8% away. A long Russell / short s&p spread has worked out very well for the past few months. The financials have been a big drag on the S&P...

    Has ER2 gone straight?

    I assume you're kidding? While I am now short today at the 750 level, I've seen the ER2 move $100 while the b/a on the spu's never changes. lol

    $5k e-mini journal

    Not to pick on you, but do you understand that your decision making process said it's "okay" to try to trade with real money before you have a strategy that you can document a positive return on in sim/backtesting and knowing what your expected variance would be? Other than getting "lucky"...

    ER2 Last day?

    Why would you be worried about volume? I am told that out of the 200-300 people who attend Woodies room every day, at least 5 or 6 actually trade. And half of those trade 2 lots.

    Worst TWS Yet?

    Just wanted to thank those above who have posted regarding the IB update. I have decided to wait to download this latest version. Sorry you've had problems, but thanks for saving me (and I'm sure many others) some headaches.

    zone alarm users

    The weird thing for me, was that I had to update one of my video drivers (which I should be doing anyway) after installing the patch.

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ
