for a long term play of say 2-5 years, how do you go abouts getting into a position that long. Do you have to manually roll over the position or will a broker do that automatically. What is the cost of carrying a position that long? So for instance, on a liquid commodity like Crude Oil, say...

i trade using etrade pro's lightspeed platform but thru an affilated prop firm and not with them directly. ask them how much your per trade fees will be, if they have a desk fee, data fees, ecn rebates, how much/if you have to put up a capital contribution and how much that is. ask if you get...

And you are long how many shares at what price? :D

TASR was on the hard to borrow list so I couldn't go short on it. However, I did catch some profits after the big sell off at 12:23 going long for the bounce.

Calculate your GROSS/SHARE by taking the dollar amount you make per month (or use lifetime if you have the data) divided by the total volume you trade. ex. Last month I grossed $3105/340,400 shares = 0.9cents Along the lines of 90% of traders fail, I hear that the best EQUITY traders in...

Is therel a 11cent cancel fee? I never heard of that. Seems like that would work against an exchange. I mean, they make money from order flow and having people put orders in so a cancel fee would discourage that.

What did Trump say? 215,000 applications and 1 apprentice? With a $250k salary and the amount of information and contacts I would meet being his apprentice would easily make me walk away from trading. Hell, Kwami had a great job at GSCO and he left.

Do you know where I can find the rebate costs for the ECNs that you listed?

not too shabby being at 10% when i was trading equities for a well known prop firm, my commiss and trading costs were 133% of gross profits. The house always wins in the end.

Thanks BSAM, I looked at prophet.net and played with the Java charts. Looks pretty good. Simple and intuitive. I'll check out nextrend too. Cheers

Hey Reitberg, thanks for reading my message. I see that you are very helpful in pointing out software that doesn't fit my requirements. I definitely did not check out your links nor will I consider J Charts as a possible vendor. Regards, DNAJ65000

wow, just took 75 cents long out of it in the span of a 2 minute candle. this one is a wild child. oh...did I forget to mention it took 94 cents out of my pocket in the span of 35 seconds? hahaaa TASER.COM welcome to 1998 :D

HOLY SMOKES, THIS STOCK IS GOING TO THE MOON!!!!

I currently have my hands on TradeDesk from Etrade Pro and I think the charting on it is garbage. I thought I would be okay with it since all I need is to chart intraday with 3 Simple Moving Averages. However, the software only has history back 3 days even though I set the properties to 10...

I had an error back in 2000 when I asked for a $11,000 wire to be sent to my bank account. They sent it twice and didn't notice it for almost 4 mos. However, their Reconcilation Dept finally caught on and I paid it back without a fuss. I vote, keep it there and earn the interest. Of...

is the best advice for success and happiness, IMHO. Sounds like you're having a good time in China so stay with it. The economy is good (if you're in an urban center) so why give it up? There's nothing in the trading rulebook that says you have to do it full time to make money. If you...

Welcome to the board, You have some good questions and you're willing to seek advice and education on a subject you know you are weak on. That's a good sign to start. One of your questions is whether or not we as traders love our career. I think if you question if trading is right for you...

I did some research on the US equities market. The past couple days of sell off has me worried. If the market does not rally tomorrow (Friday) and closes at the LOD, I have a feeling we are in for a big correction on Monday. I did some comparisons on the 29 and 87 crash and 9/11 correction...

for your advice. I'm looking into the RRPIX and it looks pretty good for my long term portfolio.

Baruch, your one line replies are annoying. If you have nothing to contribute, please don't post in my thread.
