Thanks for the encouragement. I traded a little of everything lately teen retailers and tech stuff. I started strictly daytrading but opened up to swing trades when I saw that I was missing some long-term potential. I averaged down when I started and that was short lived when I figured out...

So I just opened a new account to trade futures. I've been trading stocks for the past 6 months and have done pretty well although that all may have just been good luck. I've been watching ES and YM and have been learning and reading everything I can about them and why I will lose all of my...

Nod32 is awesome. I run it on 20 workstations, a Win2K server and Win2K3 server at work and I must say it is the best I have seen. They were running zonealarm which was slowing things down tremendously. I hate AV with features. I dont want internet blocking or popup blocking or other random...

I dont know I sat in one of these at my local Design Within Reach store (Definitely not within my reach but whatever) and I must say it was pretty freekin awesome. Check it out for yourself: http://www.officedesigns.com/product-exec/product_id/73/pn/Freedom%20Chair I think I just may risk...

Take a look at the Hotbrick LB2 http://www.hotbrick.com/lb.asp . I was looking to get one for the company I work for since we have connectivity problems with our DSL provider. Its just a router with two WAN ports so it will use all available bandwidth and fall over in the case of a network...

Oh yes I would hope no one would just go get this surgery without knowing there are potential complications that range from dry eyes to possible death. They are your eyes and you may never see again and if that is too risky then so be it. Its funny the day of my surgery they had me initial 100...

So I got my LASIK done in June at Laser Eye Center out here in Orange County California. They do volume and some think thats good and some think thats bad. I never had a problem with their quality of care and some of the doctors remembered me on my post-op visits. Many people will have different...

Its really interesting to see the programs that they rate as ineffective.

Yeah I'm gonna pitch to all my generation that we all just pick up and move to Cuba. You old people better have a plan on what to do then. -Jamaal

Yup thats what I'm doing. I got all the money that my parents saved for college, they basically said 'well hope you go to college now'. I've paid for 1 year at my UC and still have the same principal amount. If everything goes well I will have at least the same amount of cash plus an econ degree...

I kick it at Sbux and Hollister at nights and weekends. Its nice getting to see retail trends developing from the inside. When teen clothing sss reports hit I'm never surpised and so far its paid for a year at my UC. -Jamaal

I'm confused, what were the specifics of the illegal trade.

Okay I just started out doing this back at the end of July. I had about 22K in my account and added another 4K to get over the 25K needed for daytrading although now its about 50% daytrading and 50% swing. Its been hard and I lost quite a bit after starting out. My goal has been and still is...

First off my background. I'm a college student with a job I work at about 25-35 hours a week. I work at home and my classes dont start until after 1pm so I can trade for the full market day. My trading account started out at about $26K back in July. I'm at Scottrade(yeah I know) and I work...

Im using Scottrade to swing and daytrade using their ScottradeELITE platform which is decent for me so far. I want to move to IB but I cant until I turn 21. I just hate not having bracket orders or control over order routing. The charting and features leave much to be desired. I never have had...

As far as I know its like a stock that gaps down at the open. Your stop would trigger but it would go as a market order to sell at $3. I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is the case. -Jamaal

Oh okay well I've heard that enough. I thought he meant specifically because I'm 20. Really I'm not looking to get rich off this or even replace my day job. My dad had been suggesting swing trading to me for a while and over the past few months I've been moving more into day trading. I'm a...

Well last time I checked 18 was the age of consent so I wouldn't really be a minor. But why am I playing a losing game?

Ummm. Anyone else?

So I tried to open an account at IB today. I've been trading for about 6 months now and have been doing fairly well lately. So now after two years at Scottrade and three before that at TD I see that I could use more sophisticated tools and lower commissions. However, midway through the app it...
