Did you wait until your account was approved before sending your money? After your account is approved, they send you an email asking you to fund the account. Have some patience. The stock market will still be there when you are ready.

Accept the fact that losing is part of winning. This is the same as other sports such as baseball. Players hate striking out but if they can consistently get 4 hits out of 10 at bats, they are way ahead of the game.

RediPlus is the worst trading software I have ever used. In a period of 2 months. I seen about 8 people (myself included) which had frozen orders or orders that wouldn't be canceled. It happens when you cancel or try to change an order too close to the current market. Then you have to call...

There is too much competition and OO are losing their edge. You are also competing with automated programs which do like 100 OOs at once and help you exit automatically. No human can match the speed of these programs but humans do have an edge of tape reading...

I recently subscribed to both Esignal and Qcharts at the same time. I like the Qcharts interface and cleanliness of the charts. I put up charts and quotes of the exact same stocks and I notice that the Qcharts is about 1/2 - 1 sec behind Esignal. This tiny lag probably wouldn't matter...

This was actually a good play except for the FED announcement. Everyone expected the quarter point increase but didn't expect the "inflation worries" comment.

Don went from making $1000+ each day in OO to barely making $100 a day. (Look at his journal 2-3 years ago) The edge with OO is getting smaller and smaller. Lots of small gains and one gap and runner wipes up 1-2 weeks of gain. Good Luck!

Yes, ES is like an ATM machine for successful traders.

You really need some help qdz. I hope you find it! http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14779&perpage=6&pagenumber=1

Hitman, you're a really great guy. You have passion and love for the market. I mean all of this in a positive way. Love doesn't work one way. The chance of you succeeding now is less than 1%. You will realize later that you were chasing a faerie tale and she doesn't deserve you if...

lxo7, It's not just you. I live here in California in USA and I subscribed to Active Trader before also. I waited 1 month and no issue. Called them and verifed correct address. I waited 2 months and no issue. Called them and they said they sent it but would credit me back 2 extra...

How do you log into the demo for IB? I forgot.

uptik2000, That problem you are describing happens with my 19" KDS monitor right now. But it only occurs once every 1 month or so for me. I would recommend you send it back for repairs if you are still covered under warranty. Otherwise, it may be wise to shop for a new monitor soon.

Baron, I believe you should start imposing requirements for reviewing books, brokerages and software. It's ridiculous how one person can create a multiple new accounts and make negative remarks about the same thing. Requirements: I would think the person needs to be an ET member for...

I find this thread interesting in the fact that I can get a perspective on how someone trades. seanote's style is more of a swing trading compared to hitman's scalping. It sorta opened my eyes to some different possibilities.

The price that you usually fill when you buy or short is the stop price and the other one is the limit price. It is annoying when I set the price first before I change the order to a stop and it automatically changes my price to the market price for the stop. Then I have to re-adjust it.

I believe def handled himself well here at ET and never tried to promote IB as some other people have done for their firm. It was wrong to just freeze him without any warning. However, that action was probably caused by some of you dumb posters for starting numerous threads titled "def...

Cdntrader, When and why was def censored? Why don't you start a poll with this thread if people think he should be censored?

Trader5287, The moment you cover your shorts on those two stocks, they will start to go down. :) It's happened to me too many times to count. It's going to be over for RMBS with INTC pushing DDR. Once they lose that BS lawsuit, RMBS will go out of business. But before then, it can do...
