I guess I'm a piker then, but I'd rather learn this game with $2k rather than $200k :)

Thanks much for your insite. I've copied the text of your post to my task list so I can look at the thread. I started trading for the first time in June. Started with $2000. Pumped another $1000 in and I'm down to $1,900. I guess I attribute it to education and experience. Losses are a lot...

:cool: They are banditos. Rules to <font color="red">skreeeew</font> the little guy.

Hmmm, a comedian.

The SEC, NASDAQ, NYSE, etc are a bunch of crooks. The rules are <font size="7" color="red">STOOOOOOOOPID!!!!</font>. Did I make my point clear enough? It's my money. Unfortunately, these regulatory idiots that need to dream up reasons for their own existance don't care.

The Question: How can I overlay an index on an advanced chart? The first answer from Esignal Support: Check our FAQ (http://www.esignalcentral.com/support/faq/esignal/advchart/) Did that, no answer. The second answer from Esignal Support: Visit this page (forgot the link), it...

OK, I'm still new at trading. Still losing money :( . I figure that's to be expected. I pretty much watch the charts and act around the moving averages (25, 50, 200). It still means trying to guess the direction of certain stocks. There's an infomercial hawking learning how to spread...

STRATEGY FOR GOING LONG: I've heard as prices approach a major moving average, they can break out if they cross over a moving average (going long). Please check out the graph for INTU below. A double bottom (orange circle) was formed prior to INTU crossing the 25 Day MA. When it crossed...

Not trying to day trade. Usually try to hold overnight so as not to try to trigger the day trade limits. Only have 2K to play with right now. Thanks for your analysis of the above as to why Trade #1 failed when #2 and #3 didn't.

:confused: Trade #1 Trading with IB, here's something I ran into today. On the 10:06am ET minute chart, YELL opened at 28.439 and closed at 28.29. I had a stop limit sell order. Stop set at 28.35 limit set at 28.30. Sell did not trigger. Shouldn't it have sold at 28.30 or better once the...

Sounds a bit like "Bug's Life." Only the ants revolted.

Not sure if the spreadsheet attached itself in my previous reply. Trying again. AH! The spreadsheet was too big to be accepted. Had to zip it. The system would not take a .zip file so it's named ProtectiveStops.zip.xls. Please remove the .xls when you download it, then use winzip to...

For what it is worth, here is my opinion. I'm new a trading. Started with $2000 like you and went to Scott Trade ($7.00 for market $12.95 for limit). I very rapidly lost $800, mostly in commissions. Trying to position size killed me commission wise because the stock would have to move...

You can wire it to my account? I'm still learning how to trade and could use a cushion of your money :D. Since nobody really answered the original question, I've been in the process of setting up with them. They are willing to assist me in setting up the accounts the way I want them set up...

Agreed. I'm still new at this direct access stuff. As you develop your site, keep us newbies in mind if you are looking for our types as clients.

What's the five minute rule?

Here's another broker I'm looking at. Any feedback on these guys? There are no ratings in broker ratings. Thanks, Chris http://www.choicetrade.com

OK, I downloaded the trial software. There's sure a lot of chatter in the forums on pointdirex, but only 4 ratings. How about rating them or express your opinions here. Should I go with them?
