    IB's new US equity commission

    IB is already cheaper than most props and you don't even need a Series 7. It would be nice if they cut per share above 500. I heard there was a prop firm that charges 1.25 cents for all shares before you get your Series 7. After you get your S7, it's still more expensive than IB unless you...

    IB Advisor Friends & Family account

    How does stock allocation work for a FF Account? What if you buy 2000 shares of stock XYZ. You only get filled for 1200. Are you buying the stock for each account in the main account? Does the sub-acc try to buy the same stock at their ratio? Do you decide at the end of the day how much...

    The Million $$$ Quest...

    Don't forget you'll need to make more than a million to make a million because of the taxes you'll need to pay over the next four years from the gains. From the sounds of your post, it doesn't seem like you have a strategy with exact rules to follow. Are you a discretionary trader?

    Blown up and Devastated

    A trader with no discipline or method needs to hit rock bottom before they are willing to change for the better. As blunt as Cheese may be, it is the truth.

    A shoulder to cry on

    You are risking way too much per trade if you can be down 19% in less than a month. Don't expect to lose money as tuition.

    Anyone having problems logging into FXGame?

    Coinzy broke the bank in the FX Game. They wanted to give the other participants a chance to make money so they banned him from the game. LOL

    Does the disappearance of one inefficiency necessarily mean the creation of another?

    The answer is Yes in my opinion. Everything goes in cycles.

    "Somebody's sure to notice this..."

    Haaahaa... Reminds me of the numerous times some brokers here in the U.S. entered a order wrong and pushed the market way up or down and ended up busting all the trades. The stupid brokers should pay for their mistakes instead of busting all the trades.

    Look Ma, no indicators!!

    Most indicators are based on Price OHLC and Volume. Indicators just take the same information and make it look pretty. I found indicators useless for me when trading. I focus on price/volume and patterns. Good Luck!

    Dell sends cardboard CD

    That's strange. I bought a Dell from Dell Small Business about 2 months ago and got a bunch of CDs including the Windows XP sp2. You should give them a call and ask. First thing I did was format and re-install windows. I hate all the extra crap computer makers put on your new computer to...

    We've all heard this before...

    $200 * 20 = $4000 per month 4000 / 30000 = .1333 = 13% per month I do not believe that goal is possible for a new trader with 30k.

    Am I the only one that sees a correction?

    I was wondering about that also. I don't know any stocks that move 4% a day on a regular basis in 40 mins.
