    question for you techies about email

    Unfortunately there is no way to do what you are wanting with the phone that you have unless the service will send you text messages. Depending on who your email provider is you can use the T-Zones to manually check for emails but it's a tedious manual process.

    Warning to traders, there are some sophisticated SCAMS on ET

    I personally can not vote democrat, especially not for Obama or Hillary. They have both shown support for 3rd trimester abortions (a point at which if the baby was delivered it could actually survive) while openly fighting against the death penalty, the three strikes laws, and harsher drug laws...

    Keep bringing the market down to its knees

    The population did not get together and form some conspiracy to stop buying houses. The people that had the money and were willing to spend it at the price points at that time had already bought their houses. Houses aren't something you buy a new one every month just because. Construction...

    Paging Ben Bernanke

    No it was not. It's the fault of the home construction companies. They were so busy trying to build more houses than their competitors they lost sight of the demand and ended up over built (more houses for sale than buyers). So what happened next? In order to try and increase the demand the...

    You are asking traders questions that you should be asking an accountant that specializes in handling traders. I might can come up with a few suggestions for trading accountants if you wish.

    Help me pick a stock!

    Honestly if you really want to get into trading, I would spend that $1 on some intro trading classes. Putting money in the market with no sort of training, or trading plan really is the worst form of gambling.

    Keep bringing the market down to its knees

    Ok I finally got this far in this moronic thread. Are you seriously so stupid that you think Real Estate tanked b/c people stopped buying? EVERYTHING in the US is supply and demand. Housing was overbuilt so there were more houses for sale that there were people wanting to buy them. THEN to try...

    Keep bringing the market down to its knees

    Let me guess you live in France? You know I am getting really sick of the anti-American sentiment. There are VERY few countries in this world that we haven't had to save their asses when they needed it most. We provide more humanitarian aid to foreign countries that ANY other country in the...

    When leverage goes bad

    This is why I personally only like trading options or instruments that are optionable. If you were trading a stock and used a put option as a stop loss then it protects you from all of that as well as offering ways to make more money on the backend in a volatile climate.

    Warning to traders, there are some sophisticated SCAMS on ET

    Sadly there are scammers, spammers, and general asshats invading almost every facet of internet life. My general rule of thumb is, if I don't know you personally then you aren't getting my name, address, phone number, or email address. Although I do have one advantage. I run my own mail...

    Best Movie about the market

    I kind of like Boiler Room for a move about the market. It will definitely make you appreciate the fact that we (on this forum) are self-directed traders.

    Best Instrument in US afternoon?

    Best Instrument in US afternoon?

    OK maybe I should rephrase this. Does anyone here trade anything between the hours of 1:00pm and 8:00pm EST? If so what do you trade and is there enough price movement to actually make some money during this time?

    Best Instrument in US afternoon?

    What trading instrument has really good (or best) price movements in the US afternoon (after 1:00pm EST)? I have looked at stocks but they seem best starting shortly after opening bell and ending about lunch while Forex seems best over night and into the early parts of the US trading day...

    about tradestation
