It is of course a matter of taste but I tried both Ensign and Medved and have decided that for my purposes QT is far better. I had a hard time entering new quotes in Ensign and modifying charts for them wasn't obvious (for me at least, still don't know how to remove a study). Also, the weird...

I suppose you'r right. If I read the FAQ correctly: Question: Can I still use QT with out having a TD AMERITRADE account? Answer: YES! QuoteTracker will continue to allow for you to use it just as you had in the past. Of course, if you bring your funded account to TD AMERITRADE, you...

Yes, that is exactly the type of chair I consider bad for traders. Too much pre-form, not enough room to move. Ursa..

Url's' please

Hmm, I'm not so sure if those 'ergonomically' shaped chairs are good for trading. In my personal experience they force you to sit in a certain position and that position only. This gave me (serious) trouble, when used the whole day. I ended up with a more CEO-type wide, hardly pre-formed chair...

What you mean 'take out'? You mean buy? If it is considered probable by the market that the SPX will rise 10% in a year indeed, then the premium payed will not cover the loss in time-value. Have you looked at the prices? "gotten me to think" indeed... :) Ursa..

I think the word 'free' in the subject line does it.

You have to look into OCA (one cancels all) orders, in the Help files. The easiest way to do it is using bracket-orders; you place a buy-stop, and two sell orders, one stop below the entry and one limit above. Ursa..

Did you actually read anything that momoneythansens answered? Just regard the thing as a short put. You sold a put with strike 1320 for 15.00 premium. You decide to buy back the put when the underlyer reaches 1295. Nothing more, nothing less. Ursa..

That's not good enough. If that is all you read before you started firing questions than I'm done with you for now. First read about 50 times as much before coming back. There's hundreds of texts on the internet on options. And buy some books. And start reading previous threads etc etc etc...

No, at 218 or 200 or 100 you have the same profit: 1.00. Look, if you know what buying a call does, then just reverse it when you sell. What you win is what the other guy loses, and vv.. Ursa..

This is wrong. Options on FX are the same as any options. Get a good book and learn learn learn the basics. You'd be a fool to trade options when you have questions like that, even if you get some answers. If you sell a call you don't pay 1.00 premium, you receive 1.00. Hence the name...

You are confused because you don't understand options. You're trying to learn to play the piano by studying a musical script from Chopin. First learn options, than read books on how to use them Ursa..

It would be best if you get Buttontrader. There are also cheaper alternatives, like Zeroline Trader, Bracker Trader, but they are either less flexible or reliable than BT. Also, support by the BT team is better than best. Ursa..

Another good example of OpenSource development done by guys who know what they'r doing (and why). Clean, fast and robust, unlike the "well it works doesn't it" toy's we're getting used to in the Windoze world. This opens up for professional use. Ursa..

Yes good. IBot intriguing and apt at the same time, hard to forget too. Ursa..

There is an rather well-known SF-novel called Ender's Game http://www.amazon.com/Enders-Game-Ender-Book-1/dp/0812550706/sr=8-1/qid=1157398458/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-4901215-6295939?ie=UTF8&s=books in which a group of kids are trained on a computer game to fight an alien race. While they think they're...

Ok, Steve I apologize. So much shilling going on here. I just found it it too coincidental to read a first post like this, hope you understand. Seeing your reply I admit my conclusion was too hasty. Sorry again, Ursa..

Seeing that SteveH did this one first post and none thereafter I think maybe someone from the competition woke up. :p Ursa..

I think you're right, and if we were smart enough we would in again make the world even more complex, until we again wouldn't be able to understand it. I think it is a law of nature that any intelligent society will mold it's environment to the extend just short of chaos. Ursa..
