    5G Hotspots are now available from AT&T and Verizon

    I live in the countryside and only recently have we been able to get a decent landline internet connection. For the past 2 years i had been trading on a Verizon 4G hotspot, which is comparable to my landline. Neither are fast by in-town standards, but way better than we had before. I like...

    Legal structure for Canadian day trader with 1 million income a year?

    Hey Tony - you might try the 45 minute consultation here https://greentradertax.com/store/services/consulting-services/ Cost is $250 and is geared towards USA clients but the company has a stellar reputation. I would expect them to possibly have some knowledge of international laws as well. It's...

    Uber VS Lyft Which Is The Better IPO?

    I favor Uber over Lyft. That said if G decides to take Waymo public and when they get self-driving bugs worked out ... they will be golden. Whoever gets self-driving right first, should be profitable. Both Uber and Lyft (at this time) are losing lots of money. I'm just echoing comments heard on...

    How do YOU decide where to place YOUR Stop?

    For me on intraday ... preferably .02 below the most recent swing low ... or minus .25% max.

    ,,Worthy" of my edge?

    You can't swim other peoples races for them. That said, I've always admired the ones who care enough to try. I'm not of the camp that believes unsolicited advice is abuse. Me thinks ... to be you, you will have to try and help. 99 times out of 100 ... they know better, or at least have to go...

    Apparently the sky is falling

    @DollarCostAveraging is a good idea if you have time on your side. When i was young i had a habit each year of putting $2k in a different IRA mutual fund. Most of that was in the years 1987 to 1991. It was more aptly described as a buy and hold strategy. One of those funds was a tech fund that...

    please recommend a VPS that is closest to IB server in Chicago

    Both VPS and Dedicated servers are segmented into managed or unmanaged categories. Managed is where their tech team provides tech support. I'm not tech savvy enough to comment as to if https would help you any (wouldn't think so) if you just use your server for trading. My experience is limited...

    Brokers with shorts available for penny stocks?

    Dunno if it's true, but i always heard it said, that the larger the broker, the more shares they have available to lend / to short. Makes sense. If that is so, then you might want to go with one of the top 4...

    Brokerage capable of linking cash and inherited IRA accounts? (IB can't)

    Ameritrade offers this. I have IRA and regular account connected and there is a tab for each. If you login to one you can switch to the other without using the login for the other. You must select to connect accounts. I use their ThinkOrSwim platform and have not configured to switch from one...

    What is the Most Powerful Candlestick Reversal Pattern?

    Regarding reversals ... I automatically thought of 1,2,3 formations as mentioned by Xela here https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-simplest-strategy-that-works.322443/#post-4679967 where she says they are the only reversal trades she ever takes. I do a whole of searching and reading old...

    Does anyone here understand a lot about international wires, ABA numbers, Fedwire and payments?

    Not sure my thoughts will help. I do both send and receive international wires every month. It's my understanding (right or wrong) that most USA banks will have a default intermediary bank they usually use when sending intl. wires. 9 times out of 10 i can just use that and send to anywhere, if...

    Moving Average Crossover Trading

    Are you still an advocate of simply following the 9 SMA? It's been 4+ years. Just wondered if you still held to that line of thinking? Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

    Scalping off the Tick Chart? Bid, Ask or Last?

    Yep, if you use a target price exit, sometimes independent of an indicator sell signal, you might find the bid advantageous. On large market orders of highly liquid stocks and ETFs, i typically get filled at half a cent less than bid. Of course, might depend upon your platform, i use TOS.
