I would like to know how some fellow traders do about friends or family members asking for advice on a particular stock or market. I use to always give advice on what I think would happen but recently am starting to believe that I should just keep my opinion to myself since I find myself...

ditt, The page does exist, you just gotta remove the , at the end of the url.

If you're papertrading, make sure you buy at ask and sell at bid to really simulate the real trading environment. Slippage usually is one tick for each order buy/sell. Sounds like your picking up nickels from in front of a steam-roller. Good Luck!

Did you cancel your first long and enter a new long? Or did you change the price of the long and hit transmit again to new price? If you changed the price and hit transmit again, this error shouldn't happen and IB will probably eat their programming mistake. That really sucks, you...

That would be a good idea to tell us what it does. I get a blank page at the following address: http://www.stockstalker.com It's not advisable to download and run random executables off the internet. You might end up getting a trojan horse or a background keylogger that sends your...

That's just crazy, $95 book selling for $900 on Amazon. Are there any other books by different authors that are still in print that cover similar information? I guess I could always buy the book, read it and sell it to the next person. Please PM any information on getting the book at...

Change to Ameritrade, they have a large short list if you're interested in shorting.

I learned something new today from IB. :D I thought you would have 4:1 buying power if you have over 25k in your account BUT IB also requires you to have more than 4 trades in a 7 day period. I was trying some position trading and it was wierd when it wouldn't let me taking on a...

Bsulli, You are quite paranoid. You could lie about questions 2,4,9 and nobody would know the difference. It's not like your putting out your credit card information. Do you get paranoid about the market makers trying to hit your stop once you get into a trade? Haahaa, don't...

That reminds me of some article i read that complained about 'FireWire' for the PC because it sounded dangerous. FireWire is the alternative to the USB port which connects peripherals to the computer in case anyone didn't know.

Yes, there seems to be many unprofitable traders here giving trading advice to everyone. They should work on getting themselves profitable first.

Nice trades today! Look forward to reading your journal daily. Good Luck!

I think it's similar to that other position surfer went long and called the bottom because of multiple system signals. He was a week early but ended up doing well when the market shot up for many days. It does look like the next cycle down is near on different timeframes.

Buffet invested in a lot of insurance companies and then he starts touting how much risk there is of another terrorist attack and driving up the insurance costs for companies. I hope the market goes up and proves him wrong.

I just downloaded and installed the Spybot and it found some things but I'm still having problems with my startup page. Everytime I restart my computer, it sets to http://www.searchv.com/ I've went into regedit, did a search and deleted like 8 different references to this web page. So...

LOL :D

I have a problem with my startup page. I go into Tools -> Internet Options and set it When I close and re-open it, it works and goes to that page. But if I restart my computer, my startup page changes to some search engine. It started happening a day or two ago when I was surfing. I hate...

That confused me too. marketsurferer said: "neogann channel of 9503-9457, long above, short below" then at end of day: "we are currently LONG here with stops at 9447 at this time." YM was below 9457 when stopped out and then it went up and closed near high at 9457. It looked like you...

GG, you're the best paper trader in the world! You'll be a millionaire in no time once you start trading like that with real money. Good Luck!

You can short SOHU with IB, but not SINA. Go to IB Page Resources -> Shortable Stocks
