exce26 - what is your definition of 100 % successful strategy ? If your goal is to make a 3 % return annually, your strategy may be successful. Many bank customers in Japan would be pleased with such a return on investment.

Hitman - you may want to consider getting your degree and trading part time. You'll have more options when you're done. If you're going to spend many hours furthering your knowledge base - you may as well at least earn a degree. A degree in finance seems to be right up your ally. :)

Interesting article about stocks being added or dropped from the S&P 500 and how traders capitalize on the fact: http://www.thestreet.com/comment/openbook/1011758.html

Candletrader - thanks for your many informative posts. I probably missed it somewhere but why do the new SEC margin rules affect direct access brokers that fall under NASDAQ guidelines differently than those that fall under NYSE guidelines ? This seems inherently unfair IMO to companies such as...

My comment is simple. My wife had a question so she logged into IB real time chat yesterday and asked a representative a question. She received her answer pronto. It was good service - end of story. FWIW. :eek:

def, just to close the loop - any possibility of IB being integrated with QuoteTracker in the future or is the final answer "no" ? Hopefully, IB will find a way around the stumbling blocks. Thanks.

It would be great if IB was integrated with QuoteTracker. I sent an e-mail to QuoteTracker and they said they support this but the ball is in IB's court. ----------------------------------------------------------- From : "QT Support" <support@quotetracker.com> To : Subject : Re...

mjt - after the SEC short sale rule "concept release", next step is for a "proposed rule" to be released. No mention as to when that may be. SEC Concept Releases: http://www.sec.gov/rules/concept.shtml Recent comments submitted re short sale concept release...

tradeRX - one thing I'm curious about is how a computer program will interpret NEWS. Will the program simply react to increased/unexpected trading volume or will it be a little proactive and make a move first ? If a computer program is able to interpret good/bad NEWS combined with a phenomenal...

37, B.S. in Business. Trading since early 90's. New to direct access trading.

andrasnm - you have a problem. Get some help.

From Babak: "Hopefully we can pass this on to def who can then pass it on to someone at IB who gives a dingo's kidney about our ideas." Def - that's one of the reasons my wife opened an account with Interactive Brokers. My hat is off to you for the numerous times you've taken suggestions from...

It appears that FreeTradez (i.e. Investor's Advocate, LLC) was suspended by NASD for failure to supply financial information. The concept was certainly appealing (i.e. zero commission direct access trading etc.) but it wasn't to be. With the demise of FreeTradez, Interactive Brokers is the...

Baron - thanks. EOM

Wow !! - I'm sure eating my words. This is bordering on frightening in terms of watching my long term investments head south. I'm beginning to wonder just how far the market may decline. I hope to pounce with short term $ once the market finally begins rebounding. It may be a while. I won't...

Praetorian2 - what kind of "ratio" are you computing every night ? TIA.

Excellent article. It just goes to show that it's impossible to call a bottom although some make educated guesses. After the dramatic decline to date in NASDAQ - and with the economy anticipated to rebound in the second half -the pending interest rate cut should provide some some kind of floor...

How will trading on NYSE be affected as a result of investors having access to specialists’ books ?

On the T&S - right click and choose Go to Date/Time. You can review all the trades that took place on that date. I'm not sure how you filter a Chart itself to go back to a particular time period.

I'd like to see the chart updated in light of recent declines. Amazing period we're going through. :mad:
