An even more interesting question would be, is it better to use an "always in" strategy. By better I mean more of an edge.

Thanks

I'm currently running Scottrade Elite and I will be adding Tradestation now. (Not looking for a debate about brokers :) ) Can one of you techno smart guys tell me if my system will handle it. It's a fairly new Dell and my hunch is that it will but I'd appreciate a more educated opinion...

You have to request Mark to Market status in the previous year for the following year. Have you looked into that? You also need significant trading activity. Why not trade a couple of years first. If I read your post correctly you have been paper trading for TWO MONTHS? It's gonna take a lot...

Unless you have a three year old, a wife or both. :D

Probably after he posts it on YouTube

Question: What about Tyco and Enron where people lost all their money. Answer: They weren't greedy enough. Question: What is crossing the line to you. What wouldn't you do to make money? Answer: Well, I wouldn't sell slaves. Yeah! Really great job! :confused:

When a black TV Host asks you what you would not do to make money, the best thing you can come up with is "I wouldn't sell slaves!??" :confused:

It's LIVE! Someone call in!!!! I don't have the gonads! :D

I dug out this old thread because I'm wondering if daytrading the QQQQ options has become any more popular since penny incremement option prices took effect and the spreads have come down from .05 or .10 cents to .01 or .02 cents.

Wow! Lighten up Francis. The OP asked a question and he got legit replies. Maybe it is in the wrong forum but with all the BS posts on ET I'm surprised anyone would cry about what forum a legit post showed up in.

CWU, Thanks for the info!! Appreciated!

Mohsen, I'm in a similar boat as you. I am doing tons of homework & research to make a move from discretionary trader to systems trading. I'm currently taking a good look at TradeStation and E-signal. I came across this (see PDF in link) piece of interesting info on testing that is written...

I'm not assuming anything. What I am saying is the majority of the backtesting period available at stockfetcher only covers the recent bull market. I would like to see how my system works in ALL types of markets, bull, bear and otherwise. So actually, if the markets 10-15 years ago were so...

After speaking with a TS rep today about opening an account, he sent me some info via e-mail. Interesting note at the bottom of the e-mail that might pertain to this thread: Please visit our Web site for relevant disclosures. System access and trade placement and execution may be delayed or...

Thanks Splat I want to put my own ideas into the system. TS's website claims that programing is easy with their system. I've been testing some ideas at Stockfetcher but I want to try some intraday strategies (dont think stockfetcher does that)

Can I ask you guys a question on Tradestation? I read all the reviews here on ET and the comments are very mixed and most are even outdated. Been trading for three years and I'm still alive. Now I want to make the move from discretionary trader to system trading. I trade stocks and options...

Seems like you are spamming for that website.

Hey Paul, I posted that in JANUARY, when Oscar's youtube gig was just starting! Why the hell would you dig that old thread up and pick a fight about it. Perhaps Oscar has proven himself since then and perhaps he hasn't, I don't follow him so I don't know. I found out about Oscar by reading...

Could be a reversal day in the making.
