Although the market isn't closed I'll post what I'm at for now. I'm trading on margin now so I don't have to wait for the settlements. I bought DVN irrationally at 59.40. My eyes were playing tricks on me. (46.50) realized loss and (18.50) unrealized loss. On another trade, I didn't...

-3.50 I'm devastated. I didn't stick to my positions and sold early and then I sold my last position when I broke even because I just wanted out of it after being down most of the day(messed up order) and not being quick enough to sell when I wanted to. If I had waited and not fumbled...

I can't get my workstation 4.0 to open after the login anymore but I can open my trader workstation just fine. Anybody else having this problem?

I was wanting to buy at 18.15 but just as I was about to send the order it immediately spiked up to 18.50 at 15:24-26 and then dropped back down to 18.15 and then it a steadily climbed to 18.27 right now. Just as this happend I heard Carl Ichan's name on CNBC on the tv. I didn't catch onto...

and who isn't?

Why does IB hold onto deposited funds for a week before crediting the account?

Something about a diabetes product being certified. I should have looked further into it but I got distracted. Damn ADD. I'm guessing you bought it.

Just watched CNBC guys go at it with the CEO of Baidu.com Why did they sound so angry? Bartiromo's eyes googled when she asked the CEO about copyrights.

I didn't realise it would take so long to get the account set up. Transfers usually go pretty quick but it's been taking awhile with this one.

today would have almost been a great trading day for me but it wasn't because my funds were not ready. I came across the stock and paper traded. Soldl at around the high of the day and bought in 95. My decision to sell was based on pure luck. I wanted to take my daughter to the park. No...

Too bad I'm still waiting for my ach transfer at IB.

What do you do if you are about to sell some stock and then TWS stops working? How can you complete the order without phoning it in to IB.

I just realized you were referring to if I got blown up trading margins. I wasn't very clear in my post.

Why would IB have anything to do with it if I blow up? It isn't much money, but then again I might catch some sort of bug and make a large deposit into the account.

The money won't be available for you to buy again until after 3 days from the sell. Am I wrong?

Does it matter if I inflate my trading experience and my net worth?

There is a term used to describe the illegal activity you are talking about but I just can't remember. I know a guy who trades with his own money and the money his friends let him manage. He does well, at least during this past year and half.

nah but its one of the least riskiest thing i've done under the influence. I reordered another computer but I'm not sure if I made the best decision. My computer is being boxed today and is expected to arive on Friday. It is the same desktop except I'm getting the dual dvd write and rom...

Cancelled the order because I have no need for a widescreen because I won't be using it for multimedia and the dual dvd were excluded when I finalized. back to shopping for a computer again.

oh no.
