Wow sorry to hear that...do you think cyber will offer any compensation to traders being affected this long?

For a place to start off and 'learn' (in quotations, very subjective) go and find out what trading is like and if this is something you may find yourself doing. You can always go back to the government. For me personally, swift didn't teach me anything except the basics, but getting my...

I'm finally up and running, luckily no damage...i use cyber through questrade in canada, i was worried when it took me 20 minutes to get through just to put a stop in place. How have you guys fared?

Is it just my end or is cyber still down (been down over an hour now) for everyone else?

Sorry to bring up this old thread, i haven't posted on ET in ages but i was just wondering if the Ottawa branch is still around. I didn't see it included in the choices in the poll section so i'm assuming the worst. Can someone clue me in with an update if anyone is still there or knows...

Buying power is based on the discretion of the branch manager where you trade. Swift is pretty generous with giving buying power, but to get a definitive answer call up the contact person you've been dealing with.

Go over the swift threads again using the search function....you'll find the answers you're looking for.

No kidding. 1 Month from now he'll devise his list of shortable picks and several of these will be on here. Reminds me of an old branch manager I traded with, 'well this stock's either going to 50 or it's going to the dollar'...lol

What the hell are you talking about? Maybe you should call up another anaylst and ask about Alberta's increasing budget surpluses and the continual removal and lowering of taxes in all facets of life.... Alberta joining the states - ummm wow.

Wow, how can i get such a great trading system?

What he said :) I use Quest for my swing trading, it's solid.

Maybe you guys should consider using Mozillla Firefox instead of IE. Couldn't hurt?

You'll get the hang of it, try to focus on keeping the rpm under 3000. This serves as a good memory test to build on. I work part-time as a bellmen, and have probably driven 500 different sticks in my day. I need to use the pedals conservatively because each clutch/gearbox is different.

The best lessons you can be told are the ones you learn yourself. Find out daddy's password and start trading in real-time.

Oh god no, you're there for life! (sarcasm)

No. Keep reading until you have at least 1k.

If you're looking at an account that doesn't require capital contribution down the road, then maybe you aren't as serious as you would have yourself believe.

I think with I.B. you'll need 25 (not 20) K u.s. in your account, otherwise you'll be subjected to the PDT (Pattern-Day-Trader) rule.

KaBlammO!
