Thanks princessa. It looks like we are among the few people that started with options first and decide to move to stocks or do more stocks. I have to say I feel uncomfortable shorting stocks or holding stocks overnight though as compared to options due to 'much higher potential risk $'.

Screenstruck, 2 logins? Hmm.. I can't remember that. I just started playing with real money pretty much immediately after opening the account. I will ask them when the mkt opens on Monday. Can't believe I went that long without knowing that. Thanks a lot Screenstuck.

Does anyone have this problem? If so, how did you overcome this. Did you just go to other websites like RTT and MSN for your news? Thanks. I usually go to Yahoo finance to look at the news in the morning and sometimes throughout the day. Section is 'market overview'. However, recently the...

Volente, If you don't mind answering. Are you trading with all 3 ie T&S, level II and charts? Thks

Tingull and Screenstruck, If you don't mind answering this question. Where did you papertrade in? TOS doesn't seem to have a papertrade simulator. All they have is just a place (ie under analyze tab) for you to enter what you want to buy without the option for you to choose your exits etc. Am...

Princessa, TOS is THinkorswim, it is a non DAT (direct access broker). This broker provides great support and yes as Tingull mentioned it, the software is always getting updated. However, the commissions are way more expensive for options and stocks. It has other limitations as well. Also...

Thanks princessa :)

Thanks Bitstream

Sorry, can someone confirm that we not even going to see the best quote from ARCA without paying (not talking about the whole book here)? It seems that this is the message I'm getting from this thread. THks.

TQ, Sad to see you go. Best of luck. Even if you did not mention any of your trades, I've grown to sorta like you. Your concern about traders and especially Gary do shine through and I've learned some things (both trading and non-trading related) from you as well especially those...

Gary, You are not getting paid to do anything here. You are doing this out of the kindness of your heart although I believe you do gain something in return be it just friendly banter to wild away a boring day etc. Your trading should take priority over any posting etc. Whether you choose to...

Romik, I hope that your family member gets better. Best wishes on his/her recovery. Also, best of luck in your trading. Reading your below post and some of your earlier posts, I have the feeling that you know what you are doing although it may seem contrarary to a lot of people. You...

Welcome back Romik. Knew you would be back. Boybrutus misses you (just kiding boybrutus) :D :D

Don't worry. I suspect Romik will be back. Although some of the criticisms were at times harsh, I believe most of us including myself were worried for him and want him to do well. We just need to be more skilfull in how we suggest our viewpoints and not run somebody off.

If it is, I'm pulling back my pm to you. LOL

4re, I was referring to Buy1sell2's comments on tradequicker ie the last line (not B1S2's trades). See below : The following posters are one and the same: spooztop porgie tradequicker There is one further poster that I also believe is part of this, but will not mention as it...

Get Buy1sell2 to reveal. After buy1sell2's comments, I have become very curious. Buy1sell2, Don't leave us hanging in the air Reveal! reveal! reveal!:D :D

Alann, Thanks. I've actually uninstalled the new version and have installed the old version back. Thus, can't test it out. Will reinstall the new version when it seems safer. I don't have a good track record when it comes to complicated software.

Midknight, Thanks for your help. I tend to use floating charts. That's what I suspect also (glean from alann's posts) that floating chart will not have this function. Anyway, I've actually manually uninstalled the new software and am back using the old software. Am awaiting for the bugs to...

Thanks Speculari and 4re for the video. I just saw the 1st part and its already useful. Can't wait to see the rest. 4re, No, you don't sound like a dork at all. I was initially afraid that I may have trouble understanding you when you emphasize on your accent. However, you were very clear...
