of course it's hypnotizing, all those colours on Lev II, Candle... it's brain candies! just don't click on basket buy/sell when you're high :D Cheers! :)

Just another thing I've learned: as Over Invested said, the 30% is based on cost value, therefore if you're a long term investor and want to keep a losing long position of a foreign stock, you could sell it and buy it back (don't know if there are any rules regarding time), that way your cost...

I didn't know you cannot have US options in Canadian RRSP ! :mad: Also, it is ridiculous that you cannot buy puts as insurance for your long stock positions !!! As for Canuck option market, you're right, it sucks! Cheers!! :)

GAtrader, I did it ! I hacked into your computer, and saw that you were too busy trading, so I disabled it for you and left. :D :D :D GATrader = :mad: Just kidding !!!! Cheers!! :p

This may be of interest to some on this board. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,663801,00.asp Cheers!! :)

First :A stock that goes down 30-40% in a given day must have a good reason to tank that much. Second : For buying front month calls ATM in this case, you will have the volatility and the theta against you. You may get lucky once a while, but in the long run, it may not be profitable...

Ojo, It looks like you're doing well... stay small. My first 6 months daytrading, I never traded more than 100 shares, and never added into an existing position. For cutting losses and let winners run, it's not easy, but just think of how much you could lose, and not how much you could...

Dr. Zhivodka, I am with Gamma Futures, a 'division' of Refco. I don't know if that's their way to say i.b. What are the reasons for not trading with i.b.? $ insured? could disappear tomorrow? because so far, I am quite happy with this 'division of Refco'. All my statements are...

Don't want to pump, but... I trade with one of Refco's division/ib. Members of this board will agree with me that their customers support is top notch, 'one ring' phone call. Commission is much steeper than IB, they varied from about 16 to 22$ rt for self directed traders. If you moved...

I think I'll write one of those 'Emergency Procedures' binder, and pay my superintendend 10$ so that he cuts the building's power once a while, just to keep me on my toes, like inspector Clouseau and Kato. :D

even if your phone line works (to phone in to exit open positions), if you had one of those cordless phones, you're double/tripple screwed? :D Many thanks to all for the help! :) Cheers!!

Thanks! I almost forgot about the modem ! :( ... now next question : the surge protector would go before of afther (from wall to computer) those power protection? :confused:

I am thinking of purchasing one of those power supplies that kick in and give you 5-10 min of electricity whenever you get a power failure. Any @ home traders has one of those? TIA Cheers! :)

Just wait untill you trade futures, it's worst! :p Cheers!!

I have IB and Esignal with Zone Alarm v.2.6.362, no problems. Cheers!!:)

Actually, this is what Aphex sees... Originally posted by Aphexcoil: "Obviously charts are a historical view of stock prices, but then, if you are going to swing trade stuff, what really do you have to use instead of charts? Here is what I am seeing with IBM right now (and this could apply...

LOL :D

Just got this email replied from my broker : "Commissions on a spread order will be the same as if you had done two separate orders. For example, buying Dec, selling Mar ; your commissions are treated as two separate orders. Margins are a different matter... ...Refco Live, nor any other...

For orders, go to http://www.custombrokerage.com/tradersaids/orderguide.html and see an example of a spread order thru' broker. For online wiht IB or others brokers, I still looking for it myself. Notice : your broker should give you a spread commish, not 2 x 1 order $, it's usually...

Thanks guys! I'm presently using Win98 SE, and soon to upgrade to Win 2K or XP (home/pro?). The reason for my question was that I wonder if it's useful to have Windows OS installed in a small partition of a large hardrive, and have different softwares installed in different other...
