    How do I trade pre-market stocks?

    Currency exchange on IB

    A margin account is probably the best way to go. However if you don't wish to use leverage go to ACCOUNT and look at how much leverage ur using. is this something like 1 or <1, then you're fine. It will show you're using margin but you're not really using them.

    Do ES daytraders fail because they use 2 point stops?

    that tool is just like tradeguider... it shows after the fact.. but i found the claim of 90% with 2 point stop very interesting. Especially since I use to daytrade with fixed 2-point or 3-point stops as newbie.

    advise books on patterns

    There are only two basic types of patterns: consolidation -> trend -> consolidation and: retests of support and resistance All patterns are variations of these two concepts. I agree keep it simple. One example is the H&S major one last year. It failed. So keep in mind patterns can fail.:D
