    Ameritrade Down

    In today's instance, it was just a delay in the platform acknowledging the execution, but some days it has been a delay in the execution. Even if you do get the price shown when you clicked, a 15 second delay hurts, as many of my trades only last about 15-20 seconds. A couple of hours later, it...

    Ameritrade Down

    Today, May 4th, at 10:15 Eastern i have had 23 round trips at TOS and the last 4 or 5 of them took 10 to 15 seconds to execute (all market orders). Happens way too often these days. I like TOS, but at some point you have to wonder.

    Volkswagen said to have resumed production in 22 of its 24 plants in China - 95% of its dealers

    I'm hopeful Corona indeed cannot spread in hot weather. My friend in Argentina (southern hemisphere with fall / winter approaching) says they are in lock down, but the economy won't allow that for long, cold weather or not. Interesting take on dealing with virus in Sweden and Belarus...

    Daytrading the whole session versus calling it a day after reaching a profit target?

    For me, i like the ideal of stopping once a target is reached. However, i often fudge and trade longer as i like to trade for at least the first hour. I prefer to only trade the first 90 minutes. Most times i hit my target before 60 minutes and many times before 30 minutes. Sometimes, if i...
