    Total for 2006.

    Scottrade says my short-term realized P/L is +338.24 I am still have a couple positions open, but I am +210.05 on those. I started my account around June 2006, and have made total contributions of about $4750. My account's worth is ~$5325. Not bad for a first year, and complete amateur I...

    Roth IRA vs. Individual for Trading

    Good day ET, I currently am 20 years old, have a relatively small individual trading account. I recently opened a Roth IRA, but have not funded it yet, simply because I am worried about not being able to remove the funds except for things like first-home, major medical bills, or once I reach...

    Oh my goodness, I found a good value stock

    This stock appears to be in a somewhat heavy downtrend, only weakening slightly in the past month or so. I don't think I would purchase it until I saw some indication of the stock price turning around. Perhaps a couple March 40 Calls would be a good option (no pun intended :P).

    Have you ever felt when someone is behind you and supporting you

    It sure is meaningful to have someone to depend on during the rough times. I've had to rely on other people (albeit as little as possible) to get to where I'm at today. I still think I could've made it without them, but ... it sure helped. Thanks a lot for that video, by the way. It shows how...

    Have you ever felt when someone is behind you and supporting you

    Hey, I hear ya ... I used to be a lot more bitter than I am now, and recently have been more easy-going. The past few years have really been life-changing for me, and while I used to have a relatively negative outlook on life (I sucked at school, dropped out of community college, had a rather...

    Have you ever felt when someone is behind you and supporting you

    I don't think the OP meant that he literally felt invincible, although for short periods of time, sometimes you just feel great about life, and have a certain level of confidence going forward that things will be A-ok. That said, I am most certainly as you describe ... very careful to watch...

    Have you ever felt when someone is behind you and supporting you

    Yes, I feel invincible at times. I will briefly tell you why: I'm only 20 and one half years old, but I have been living on my own, and supporting myself since I was about 18.5 (wow, over 2 years now). My parents, despite them being the reason that I moved out (just before I was 18 actually)...

    IB and Sierra

    You mean Wednesday? And yeah, it looks like IB support is lacking. Sitting on hold for 20 minutes? I was actually thinking about switching to them, however ... I think I have reconsidered.

    Is there a free, realtime charting package I can use with Scottrade?

    Unfortunately, it's not real-time, and I know you're looking for RT, so don't flame me. Anyway, it's just a reminder that www.stockcharts.com is out there, too. I'm an amateur, but the charts are really cool, and I think that using them to plan future (swing) trades will benefit me.

    IP address of the standalone software of my broker

    That's another method, yep. There are tons of ways to do it. Also, you can use a website such as www.dnsstuff.com to do a forward DNS lookup.
